This specialisation is designed for students wishing to become secondary science teachers. Science teachers at a secondary school level must be knowledgeable in a wide range of sciences including physics, chemistry and biology. The content is closely aligned to the requirements of the Australian Curriculum, and to WACE syllabus and examination requirements. The units cover school curricula, teaching strategies, and the development and assessment of teaching programs.
This unit set information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.
All applicants are required to complete a major in science (three years of degree level study comprising at least 6 units with no more than two at first-year level and no fewer than two units at third-year level). This should include theoretical units from the disciplines of biology, chemistry, astronomy, physics and earth and environmental science. Alternatively applicants can complete at least two years (4 units) of degree level study in science with at least two units at level 2 or above in the previously mentioned areas, if they intend to undertake this specialisation as their minor area of study.
