Bachelor of Education (Primary)/Bachelor of Behavioural Science (double degree)
University of Notre Dame Australia - Fremantle
Overview
The Bachelor of Education (Primary) program qualifies graduates for teaching in primary school settings. Recognised by the Teacher Registration Board of Western Australia, the Bachelor of Education (Primary) combines educational theory and classroom learning, with a multitude of hands-on teaching opportunities. The degree offers contemporary coursework, exposure to the latest learning technologies, and the integration of theory and practice. In addition to acquiring the academic skills needed to teach primary school age children, students will also be required to choose one specialist subject area such as Mathematics, Science, English, Humanities, Special Needs, Service Learning and Social Justice and Theatre Studies. The practical component of the degree involves 32 weeks of teaching practice spread across four years. This extensive teaching apprenticeship provides a total immersion in the classroom environment, exposing students to the lived experience of a teacher.
Education students in WA must sit the national Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education Students (LANTITE). The test is administered externally by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER). Education students also need to successfully complete the Graduate Teacher Performance Assessment after their final teaching placement in order to graduate from this program.
The Bachelor of Behavioural Science is a unique trans-disciplinary social science based on a foundation of critical psychology, political science, cultural studies and sociology. Integrating specialised knowledge developed in these social science disciplines, and with a strong focus on critical psychology, means that the degree provides the nexus between understandings and practices of traditional psychology and social work. Students develop an understanding of their place and role in society as well as respect for social and cultural diversity. Embedded within the degree is a specific emphasis on the assumptions and practices that promote substantive reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
