The Bachelor of Education (Secondary)/Bachelor of Arts is a well-rounded undergraduate program that combines theory, the latest teaching technology, and plenty of hands-on classroom experience. Working from a rigorous and practical curriculum, students will acquire the academic skills needed to teach secondary school students. In addition, students will be required to choose one major teaching area such as English, Humanities and Social Sciences, Mathematics, Science or Religious Education and complete eight courses in this chosen major.
The Bachelor of Arts component of this double degree will give students depth of knowledge in their choice of teaching areas. Students will study a Major in an area such as English Literature, Social Justice, Politics and International Relations, History, Archaeology or Theatre Studies which will give students in-depth, specialist knowledge and skills that will allow them to inspire and guide their young students in the classroom and contribute to the cultural and intellectual life of society.
The Arts component will also develop students' ability to analyze, interpret, deliberate, draw conclusions, communicate, work as a team member and problem-solve. Students will be able to consider multiple perspectives and handle ambiguity and uncertainty. These are the skills needed in the creative industries of the 21st century workplace
An integral part of the degree is the 32 weeks of supervised teaching (practicum) experience. This is divided into two weeks of classroom immersion and teacher assistance in the first year; one term with a special focus on a Learning Area Major in the second year; one term with a special focus on a second Major Learning Area in the fourth year; and an internship in the final year which focuses on both Learning Area Majors, as well as Religious Education for those who have chosen to complete their accreditation to teach Religious Education.
Please note: Education students in WA must sit the national Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education Students (LANTITE). The test is administered externally by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER). Students must register and pay for the test.
