COURSE DESCRIPTION
If you have a passion for sports, and would love to inspire students in Years 7 to 12 to get active and healthy, then the four-year Bachelor of Secondary Education (Health and Physical Education) will arm you with the skills you need to be a qualified secondary teacher with a specialisation in PE and health. You’ll also study a second teaching discipline of your choice, such as English, mathematics, science, or a humanities or social science subject, to increase your versatility and employability.
This practical course will see you undertaking first-hand learning in the best way possible – by connecting with students in a classroom environment via a series of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) units, and understanding the nuances of the education system thanks to ongoing direct experience with it. You’ll graduate with a thorough understanding of how young people aged 12 to 18 learn, and will be ready to improve the health and wellbeing of your students as a dedicated PE educator.
Study a Bachelor of Secondary Education (Health and Physical Education) at UC and you will:
gain appropriate scientific, literacy and numeracy knowledge
demonstrate specialised knowledge and skills in health and PE, and a second discipline area, 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 the relevance of these to learning in inclusive, indigenous, English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EALD) and mainstream settings
plan and develop appropriate teaching activities for students from a diverse range of backgrounds
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, assessment and reporting methods, alternate/enhanced literacy and numeracy strategies, and the effective use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in teaching and learning
reflect on your practice and experiences, and engage in a process of continual improvement.
