The Graduate Diploma in Education (Secondary) – Stage 1 only

Stage 1

Field Experience covers all school and community-based experiences designed to help students develop professional competence and personal commitment, in accordance with the expressed Catholic philosophy of the University. The theoretical and methodological components of the program need practical application in a classroom setting in order to be refined and consolidated. To create such application a developmental approach to practical experience is linked with students’ expanding knowledge.

Field Experience applies skills, techniques and processes taught in the Education Studies and Curriculum Studies components of the course. Students may be placed in Catholic, Government and Independent schools.

Stage 2

For all states the field-based component is included with EDFD617 Research Project.
