Career Outcomes
You will be prepared to teach at all levels of primary school. You may also complete four discipline/content studies options units in one of the key learning areas of the Queensland school curriculum. Majors in Languages Other Than English (LOTE) and Health and Physical Education are available within the primary teaching program and will enable graduates to become specialist teachers in those areas.
Professional Recognition
Graduates are eligible for registration as teachers in Queensland through the Queensland College of Teachers. Graduates looking for employment in other parts of Australia and overseas may be required to meet additional conditions.
Working with Children Check
Working With Children Check - As required by the Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian Act (2000), student teachers must undergo a criminal history check and be issued with a Suitability Card (Blue Card) by the Commission.
As soon as you enter your enrolment program for the course, you must submit your Blue Card application to the QUT Student Centre immediately. You must hold a Blue Card to undertake activities in any unit which involves contact with children, including the required field studies blocks.
If you do not apply for a Blue Card immediately upon enrolment in the course and allow sufficient time for the police check and issuing of the Card, you will be unable to participate in the required activities and may need to be withdrawn from the unit(s) and incur both financial and academic penalty. It may take up to 8 weeks for the Commission to issue the Card.
Languages Other Than English (LOTE) Major
Students undertaking a LOTE Major may be required to attend other campuses. Students wishing to undertake studies in French, German, Indonesian, Mandarin or Japanese are required to select a specified sequence of six units (72 credit points). Students who have taken their LOTE to Year 12 or equivalent do not take the introductory units.
Research Pathway
Certain students will be invited to undertake the Research Minor Option. This option is designed to meet the needs of students wishing to undertake research-based higher degree study in the course of their future career. The pathway is designed to develop research skills and a research-oriented, reflective approach to teaching.
Course Structure
The Bachelor of Education is an exciting learning opportunity, which will challenge students to investigate, question, and create new knowledge about teaching and learning. The course has been designed using the principles of outcomes-based education; an educational approach that not only describes the long-term learning outcomes that are desired from the course, but which accepts that the learning pathway towards these outcomes may be different for individual students.
Each program consists of several different types of units:
- core units cover material which is considered essential
- parallel units are specific to each program
- strand units focus on issues related to that program
- specialist units that allow students to undertake a specific area of study of at least 48 credit points.
NOTE: Students granted credit for previous studies may not be able to progress each semester with a full-time load.
Caboolture Campus Note
Students at Caboolture may wish to take the Middle Years Minor Option at that campus. However, if students do not wish to have Middle Years as their option area, they would need to take alternative options from List 1 and take the units at the campus where offered. Note: not all units in the LOTE option are offered at Caboolture Campus. Students may need to undertake subjects at other campuses.
Computing
The increased and more creative use of online teaching technology in this degree requires that you have access to suitable computer facilities with a minimum equivalent of a Pentium 3 processor, 56k modem and internet access.
