Introductory comments
The Bachelor of Teaching is a 2-year postgraduate pre-service course taken after the
completion of a first degree. The course is intended to provide teaching practice and skills
to enable the beginning teacher to cope with the early years of teaching and to lay a
foundation for further professional development in both theory and practice of education.
The Early Childhood and Primary stream is offered at the Launceston campus. The
Primary and Middle School stream is offered at the Hobart campus. The Professional
Studies units and some Curriculum specialisations will be run in a flexible delivery mode.
It is anticipated that the Secondary specialisations will be taught as follows:
Hobart:
English, Information Technology, LOTE, Mathematics, Science and Studies of Society and
Environment (SOSE)
Launceston
Technology (MDT), Performing Arts (Drama and Music), English, and Art.
Admission & prerequisites
A first degree. Applicants who do not meet the normal admission requirements may be
required to undertake the Preliminary Studies which are described on page B-xx.
Course objectives
The BTeach program prepares beginning teachers in all the appropriate major areas of
professional competence which have been identified by relevant professional
organisations. These include an understanding of, and ability to practice teaching as an
active, interactive process involving the mutual construction of ideas, understandings,
sensibilities and skills rather than the mere transmission of information; an understanding
of the content, conceptual ordering and methods of inquiry of relevant subject areas; of
how students learn and develop with individual differences; of the relationship between
content knowledge and the process of teaching and the ability to plan and manage the
teaching and learning process in an effective, inclusive and engaging manner; of
alternative teaching practices in particular contexts with particular kinds of content; and of
students, their development, the contexts that they live and learn in, including how
teaching and learning outcomes are embedded in, and structured by, a variety of broad
cultural and social processes.
The program enables beginning teachers to communicate, interact and work with students
of diverse abilities, interests and backgrounds and to engage them actively in the learning
process in an inclusive and non-discriminatory manner.
Beginning teachers acquire an understanding of, and ability to use, alternative assessment
(monitoring, evaluating, reporting) procedures in different pedagogical contexts; a
commitment to interrogate reflectively and evaluate their own particular conceptions of
students, teaching, knowledge, the school curriculum, learning and education and to alter

their professional practices if necessary after such reflection; a positive attitude to, and
competency in the use of information technology in education. They are enabled to
undertake research relevant to the improvement of professional practice and school
effectiveness; and to gain a developed notion of the character and justification of a liberal
democratic education and the normative expectations it imposes on teachers, schools,
administrators, governments and the public generally.
Career outcomes
The course is designed for those who wish to become teachers. However, there is a range
of other professional activities available to teacher graduates.
