There are six areas of study or course streams leading to the award of BEd(Secondary), providing studies in a range of specialisations designed to prepare teachers for various areas in secondary schools. Each area of study or course stream is of four years' duration full-time (or the equivalent part-time) and comprises studies in discipline-based subjects and in the processes and principles of education.
Students apply for, and are enrolled in, a particular course stream and pursue specialised studies within that course stream. Subject choice is not restricted to subjects offered only within the course stream, but the choice of subjects from other courses is narrowed by stream and prerequisite requirements and time- table and schedule limitations.
The courses of study and their main subject areas are:
• Arts (UMTA) - Asian Languages (Chinese, Indonesian and Japanese), Australian Studies, Drama, Geography, Health Education, History, Language and Literature, Media Arts, Outdoor Education, Philosophy, Politics, Psychology, Sociology;
• Business Studies (UMTB) - Accounting, Economics, Information Management, Legal Studies;
• Environmental Science (UMTE) - Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Geography;
• Library and Information Studies (UMTL) - Library and Information Studies;
• Music (UMTM) - Music, Music (Practical);
• Science (UMTS) - Biology, Chemistry, Computer Studies, Mathematics, Physics.
Graduates qualify for registration in Victoria as secondary teachers. Those who specialise in Library and Information Studies are eligible for professional membership of the Australian Library and Information Association. Those with relevant science major studies may apply for membership of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute or the Australian Institute of Physics. The major study in Psychology is accredited by the Australian Psychological Society.
Graduates in Environmental Science may apply for membership of the Environment Institute of Australia.
In the first year, students normally take studies in four subject areas. They then select two or possibly three subject areas and specialise in these for a further two or three years. Education studies including School Experience commence in the second year and are taken in second, third and fourth years.

The course aims to:
• prepare competent and effective teachers for a range of curriculum areas in secondary schools;
• enable graduates to become eligible for membership of relevant professional associations and to undertake higher degree or post-graduate diploma work in relevant discipline areas or in education; and
• assist the general personal development of students by providing a climate stimulating to intellectual and professional growth.
On completion of the course students should be able to:
• understand broadly their chosen area of study (arts, business studies, environmental science, library and information studies, musicorscience) and its relevance to the teaching of secondary programs;
• demonstrate a deep insight and extensive specialised knowledge, abilities and skills through studies in one or more chosen disciplines in their area of study related to secondary teaching;
• understand the processes and principles of education, and critical perspectives on contemporary educational issues and developments;
• apply teaching skills appropriate to learning in secondary schools and to perform the various roles of the teacher.
Course structure and progress
A candidate enrols in and pursues specialised studies within one of six streams: Arts, Business Studies, Environmental Science, Library and Information Studies, Music, Science.
A candidate's progress in the course is expressed in terms of points credited for subjects passed.
A candidate who has completed part or all of a previous course of study at tertiary level or has achieved previous professional experience relevant to the course may he given credit for this previous study or experience providing the Institute Board approves such credit. Where there is no equivalent subject or subjects the candidate may he credited with an appropriate points score to be determined by the Institute Board.
A candidate may include in his/her course of study subjects offered in another course of the University of Melbourne or of another institution provided that the Institute Board considers such subjects to be of an appropriate standard and relevant to the course.
The total number of points which may he credited to a candidate for previous study or study in other
92 The University of Melbourne Prospectus and Handbook 1992 — Volume Four courses must not exceed 300, including a maximum
of 100 points in Group 4.
A candidate will not gain credit for subjects in any one subject area in excess of 25 points for Group 1 subjects (except 50 points in Mathematics, Music and Physical Science) and 134 points for Group 2 and 3 subjects (except 175 points in Mathematics and Music). For the purpose of this regulation, Music and Music (Practical) are considered one subject area.
A candidate will not gain credit in Group 1 of more than a total of 50 points in subjects in the following group of subject areas: Asian Studies, History, Politics.
To qualify for the Bachelor of Education award a candidate must:
(a) gain a cumulative score of at least 400 points;
(b) complete at least 283 points in Groups 1, 2 and 3 including at least 150 points in Groups 2 and 3, of which at least 66 points are in Group 3;
(c) complete at least 116 points in Group 4, including satisfactory completion of all school experience requirements;
(d) complete in Groups 2 and 3 at least 25 points in Link Study category subjects;
(e) complete in Groups 1, 2 and 3 at least 250 points in non-Link Study subjects; and
(f) comply with the requirements set out in the course stream statement for the stream within which the candidate is enrolled. Course stream statements are detailed in Schedule B.
Note: Sections (a) to (c) inclusive apply to candidates first enrolled in the course from January 1983.
Provisions (a) to (e) apply to candidates first enrolled in the course from January 1990, and to Science stream candidates first enrolled in the course from January 1989.

Schedule B: Outline of course streams The Bachelor of Education (Secondary) course provides studies in a range of specialisations designed to prepare teachers in various areas in secondary schools. The course comprises the equivalent of about three years of study in discipline-based subjects and the equivalent of about one year of study in education.
There are six course streams. Students are enrolled in one of these streams and pursue specialised studies within that stream. Subject choice is not restricted to subjects offered only within the stream; however, the choice of subjects will be restricted by stream requirements, prerequisites and timetable and schedule limitations. Course streams are outlined below.
Arts (UMTA)
The Arts stream provides a program of studies with a specialisation designed primarily to prepare secondary teachers in subjects such as an Asian Language, Australian Studies, Drama, Geography, Health Education, History, Language and Literature, Media Arts, Outdoor Education, Philosophy, Politics, Psychology and Sociology.
At least one major study must be chosen from an Asian Language, Australian Studies, Drama, Geography, Health Education, History, Language and Literature, Media Arts, Outdoor Education, Philosophy, Politics, Psychology and Sociology.
In the first year, studies are normally taken in four subject areas, at least three of which are chosen from the major studies listed above. Studies in one other area may be chosen from subjects offered in the Business Studies, Library and Information Studies, Music and Science course streams.
98 The University of Melbourne Prospectus and Handbook 1992 —Volume Four Normally students take a second major study which
may be taken from the major studies listed above or from Biology, Computer Studies, Economics, Legal Studies, Mathematics or Music.
In later years, the main areas of study are in subject areas selected from those taken in the first year, together with studies in Education.
Business Studies (UMTB)
The Business Studies stream provides a program of studies with a specialisation designed primarily to prepare secondary teachers of economics and commercial subjects. Areas of specialisation offered in Business Studies are Accounting, Economics, Information Management and Legal Studies.
In the first year, studies are normally taken in four subject areas. Accounting, Economics, and at least one of Legal Studies and Information Management, are compulsory. Studies in one other area may be chosen from subjects offered in the Arts, Music and Science course streams.
In the later years of the course, at least three major areas of study are selected from those taken in the first year, including at least two from the Business Studies areas of specialisation, together with studies in Education.
Environmental Science (UMTE)
The Environmental Science stream provides a program of studies with a specialisation designed primarily to prepare secondary teachers of Environmental Science,Junior Science, and Biology or Chemistry or Geography. The program, using the ecosystem concept as a basis, focuses on the place of man in his environment and on the study of selected environmental problems.
In the first year, studies are taken in Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science and Geography.
In the later years of the course, the areas of study include introductory Physics, Environmental Science and Education, with a specialisation in Biology or Chemistry or Geography.
Library and Information Studies (UMTL) The Library and Information Studies stream provides a program of studies with a specialisation designed to prepare librarians primarily for educational institutions, who are also qualified to teach in at least one subject area in secondary schools.
In the first year, studies are normally taken in four subject areas. Library and Information Studies is compulsory. Other subjects may be chosen from those offered in the Arts, Business Studies, Music and Science course streams. In the later years of the course, the main areas of study are Library and Information Studies, Education and one or more other areas.
Graduates are qualified as secondary teachers and as professional librarians. The qualification received is
recognised as satisfying the requirements for professional membership of the Australian Library and Information Association.
Music (UMTM)
The Music stream provides a program of studies with a specialisation designed primarily to prepare secondary teachers of music. Principal subject divisions in Music are practical music and performance, theory, composition and music history.
For the student taking Music at the specialist level, Music studies make up about 80 per cent of the discipline-based studies in the course. The specialist program is designed for the training of secondary school teachers in both classroom and instrumental music teaching. At the non-specialist level, Music studies make up about 40 per cent of the discipline- based studies.
In the first year, studies are normally taken in four subject areas. Music and Music (Practical) are compulsory. Other subjects may be chosen from subjects offered in the Arts, Business Studies and Science course streams. In the later years of the course, the main areas of study are Music and Education. Limited studies in other areas may also be included.
Science (UMTS)
The Science stream provides a program of studies designed to prepare secondary teachers of Biology, Chemistry, Computer Studies, Mathematics, Physics and Junior Science. Studies in other areas of specialisation may also be included.
In the first year, studies are normally taken in four subject areas, at least three of which are chosen from Biology, Chemistry, Computer Studies, Earth Science, Mathematics and Physics. Studies in one other area may be chosen from subjects offered in the Arts, Business Studies and Music course streams.
Later years of the course must include major studies in one or more of Biology, Chemistry, Computer Studies, Mathematics and Physics, as well as Education. Studies from other areas may also be included.
Education Studies and School Experience Education studies in each of the above courses of study are taken in the second, third and fourth years of the course, as shown below.
For students first enrolled in the Bachelor of Education (Secondary) course from 1989 to 1991 inclusive the sequence of Education subjects, each incorporating School Experience, taken in the second, third and fourth years of the course and their points allocation is:
Year 2: Education B11 Classrooms, Schools and Society (22.2 points)
Year 3: Education C11 Learning and Teaching (33.3 points)
The Institute of Education
99
Year 4: Education D l l The Professional Teacher inthe School Community (61.2 points)
Beginning in 1993, a new sequence of Education Studies will be introduced. This will apply to all students who enrol in the course from 1992:
Year 2: Education B (333 points) Year 3: Education C (333 points) Year 4: Education D (50.0 points)
Details of these subjects will be available in the 1993 Handbook.
Studies, in particular Methods of Teaching, are formally undertaken as part of Education D11, but students are introduced to the skills and concepts of particular teaching areas in Education Cll within the general theme of Learning and Teaching. Practice teaching within School Experience is undertaken in both third and fourth years. School experience in Education B11 is oriented towards inducting the student into schools and the general role of the teacher.
Advice to students
Students admitted to the Bachelor of Education (Secondary) course should read this information very carefully before enrolling. They should also study carefully any Admission and Enrolment Procedures information that is available.
Course structure
The course comprises four years of full-time study or equivalent part-time study. In the first year, studies are normally taken in four subject areas. Later years of the course consist of further studies in selected areas,with studies in Education. Students commence Education studies, including School Experience, in the second year, continuing to combine Education studies with non-Education studies for the duration of the course.
Subjects, groups and points
Each subject offered for study has a points value.
When a student passes in a subject, he/she is awarded the points score of that subject. Points awarded for passing in subjects are thus accumulated over the four years of the course.
The cumulative points score must include minimum numbers of points obtained in the various Groups or categories of subjects. The Groups are:
• Group 1: First-year studies in any of the subject areas offered.
• Group 2: Studies requiring the completion of appropriate Group 1 subjects; e.g., to take Language and Literature B1, a Group 2 subject, you must have completed Language and Literature A.
• Group 3: Studies requiring the completion of appropriate Group 2 subjects, or completion of other studies in Group 3: e.g., to take History DI
you must have completed Groups 1 and 2 or 3 History subjects having a total value of 58.3 points.
• Group 4: Studies in Education.
• Link Study Category: Normally, these studies are designed to provide an integration between Education and non-Education discipline based studies.
Link Study category subjects are designed to provide a stronger professional orientation to the academic disciplines. Normally, these subjects will be offered during the third and fourth years of a student's course. They are seen to be a vital component in the preparation of teachers in a concurrent and integrated course. Accordingly, a separate category of subjects has been designated, and a student has
to
gain at least 25 points in subjects in this category to qualify for the Bachelor of Education (Secondary) degree.Some subjects categorised 'Link Study' may also be included as part of a group of recommended subjects constituting a major study. Further, the points for some subjects may be counted towards the projected requirements either of the 25 points in Link Study category subjects or of the 250 points in other Group 1, 2 or 3 subjects, depending on the prior decision of the relevant Teaching Group.
The minimum points needed in the various Groups to qualify for the degree are set out in the Regulations for the Course (see earlier in this section). All of the subjects available for study, togetherwith their Group allocation and points scores, are listed in Schedule A (Table of Subjects) on the preceding pages.
A subject's points score reflects the overall study time commitment which students, on average, are expected to give to the subject. This time commitment includes the actual class program as well as the additional time which students are expected to devote to studies in that subject. The amounts of class time will vary between different subjects and subject areas according to the nature of the subjects concerned. As a result of this, there is no simple relationship between the points scores of subjects and the numbers of class hours involved; however, points scores are designed to give a general indication of the overall time commitment to the subjects concerned.
Course advice
Each student is able to consult a course adviser.
Before enrolling, each student must have a course adviser's written authorisation to enrol. Course advisers may provide assistance in planning a course of study, and can also assist in such matters as deferment; leave of absence; withdrawal from studies;
special consideration in the event of illness or other circumstances affecting studies; study difficulties;
changing subjects; and so on.
Course advisers must be consulted before enrolling, re-enrolling or changing enrolment. Before enrolling or re-enrolling, all students must obtain a signed
