(full-time or

| Degree/Award: | Double Degree |
The Bachelor of Teaching degree program prepares students for teaching in middle and senior secondary schools. It is also suitable for students intending to work with adult learners. The program is offered as a double degree only and is designed for students who are beginning tertiary study. The primary focus in the first three years of the degree is on completing a major sequence in two different subject areas usually taught at senior secondary level. A major sequence consists of courses taken over three consecutive years of study. Six semesters of study in a subject area is the general requirement for teaching a subject up to Year 12 level.
The major subject sequences are taken as part of the Bachelor of Economics program in the subject areas of the student’s choice. In each of these years students also take education courses designed to provide an on-going orientation to educational issues and practice. The first and third year education courses include observation and experience in school contexts. The final year is taken up entirely with education studies which are organised around two five-week periods of teaching practice in secondary schools.
To successfully complete courses, students will need to allocate an appropriate time commitment to their study. In addition to the formal contact the time required for each course (eg, lectures, tutorials, practicals) students will need to allocate non-contact time. Non-contact time will be required for a range of activities which may include, but are not limited to, assessment tasks, reading, researching, note-taking, revision, writing, consultation with staff, and informal discussion with other students.
While the relative proportion of contact and non-contact time may vary from course to course, as a guide, a full-time student would expect to spend, on average, a total of 48 hours per week on their studies during teaching periods.
The workload for undergraduate programs is 24 units per year (full-time).
The double degree provides students with the opportunity to pursue education courses from the beginning of their university studies. The primary focus in the first three years is on undertaking study in the two discipline areas in which the student intends to teach. This study generally includes courses taken at Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the degree program. These courses are taken as part of the degree program that accompanies the Bachelor of Teaching in the subject areas of the student's choice.
In each of the first three years, students also take an education course designed to provide an on-going orientation to educational issues and practice. The first and third year education courses involve observation and experience in school contexts. The final year is taken up entirely with education studies and is commenced after the other degree is completed. This year is organised around two five-week periods of teaching practice in secondary schools, one in the Adelaide metropolitan area, the other in country South Australia.
The Bachelor of Teaching is designed primarily for students who have not already commenced university study. Students who have commenced a degree should consider completing their degree and then applying for the Graduate Diploma of Education.
