Project description

This award provides a primary teaching qualification completed as a double degree with Bachelor of Arts. The course combines an academic major in discipline studies or in Education with the equivalent of two years full time professional study. In these professional requirements students are engaged in an exploration of evidence-based practice in educational theory, curriculum and pedagogy. The integrated professional experience program allows students to apply, in primary classroom contexts, the pedagogical knowledge and skills they develop in their academic and curriculum-based methodology units.
