BEd(Secondary)(Human Movement and Health Education) -- course structure
First-year students are required to take two generalist-education units (these unit examine education as a social science and look at issues in education policy and social theory) and four units of professional studies in human movement and health education. They also choose two elective units from a wide range offered by the faculties of Arts, Science, and Economics and Business. The professional-experiences program is undertaken in primary schools.
Second year comprises two generalist-education units and six units of professional studies (including a 24-day teaching practicum in Semester One). Professional-experiences placements are arranged in secondary schools. This structure is repeated in third year.
In fourth year – when the students are streamed according to whether they are undertaking honours – all units of study are taken from professional studies in human movement and health education. Practicums are in secondary schools.
