Bachelor of Secondary Education in Science, Major in Secondary Educational Studies

Program Overview

If you have a love of all things science, and want to use that to enliven the minds of young people aged 12 to 18, then this four-year specialist degree is for you. You’ll select two disciplines from a choice of scientific streams, including biology, chemistry, ecology and mathematics, and will learn how to align your specialisations to core teaching principles and to the design of programs that celebrate integration, diversity and inclusion.

Across a number of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) units, taught on-site in a secondary school environment, you’ll explore your theoretical scientific learning in a practical setting, gaining a good understanding of how a secondary school operates. You’ll graduate energised, motivated and enthusiastic, with all the necessary knowledge and skills required to pass on your passion for science to students across Years 7 to 12.

Study a Bachelor of Secondary Education (Science) at UC and you will:

Demonstrate specialised knowledge and skills in two science disciplines, across a range of classes and year groups, within a secondary school environment.
Learn the theories and principles that are the foundation for educational practice in secondary settings.
Demonstrate an understanding of student needs and differences, and develop teaching activities for a range of indigenous, English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EALD) and mainstream settings.
Develop and implement effective assessment strategies and carry out evaluation of teaching programs, resources and your own teaching.
Apply the required content knowledge for all secondary school curriculum areas to teaching and reporting methods, alternate/enhanced literacy and numeracy strategies, and the effective use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in teaching and learning.

Work Integrated Learning

A teaching degree, by its very nature, is the embodiment of Work Integrated Learning (WIL), with its focus on compulsory professional teaching practice. During this course, you’ll undertake a minimum of 80 days of practical placement across a range of different secondary school levels and settings, including science-specific positions, culminating in a 30-day teaching placement in your final year.

In addition to this, the course content is developed by secondary education professionals, and kept relevant and up-to-date through consistent monitoring of, and engagement with, the industry. You’ll undertake authentic assessment tasks which are highly relevant to the day-to-day practice of teaching, and will take part in regular professional development activities, field trips to educational STeM sites such as Questacon, lectures hosted by guest speakers from a range of education and teaching backgrounds, and more.

Major: Secondary Educational Studies

This major addresses issues relevant to todays educational environment. It is critical that teachers have a well-regarded set of skills in, and an understanding of, educational theory and practice. Secondary teachers also need to be well-equipped with a working knowledge of classroom management in a variety of cultural, educational and ability settings along with the essentials in how to design and present teaching materials in a modern context.
