Units 1.0 (Teacher Education) Band 5

It is recommended that students should have successfully completed the first year of the Bachelor of Education degree before undertaking this course.

Synopsis

The course has as its major focus the essential knowledge and skills necessary for beginning educators to: 1. design and implement well organised and managed learning environments, 2. recognise and be responsive to learner backgrounds, characteristics and experiences which might impact upon engagement in learning and behaviour, 3. develop positive relations with learners, 4. facilitate the acquisition of social competencies appropriate to the learning context, and 5. re-direct and correct where necessary, behaviour which impedes or disrupts the teaching-learning process. While these facets of teaching and learning are singled out here, their reciprocal relationship with curriculum and pedagogy will be a feature of their coverage.
