R

  • Will students be disadvantaged if they don’t have

the Assumed Knowledge for the course?

– Students are strongly encouraged to undertake assumed knowledge subjects. – If students change their direction while at school, we recommend undertaking a bridging course. – Question the student – if they don’t enjoy the subject in high school, will they enjoy studying a course that builds on this study area? – QUT does offer support for students having difficulty, including a Maths Access Centre and

Course progression

  • Course progression and attrition varies across courses

for a variety of reasons

  • Commencing student attrition at QUT is currently

around 15%, down from 19%, aim to reach QUT Blueprint target of 14% before 2016

  • Disengagement leads to attrition so the key focus is on

designing curriculum and co-curricular activities that engage students

  • Approximately 20% of students who defer (before

commencement) come back into the same course/university. Students most at risk of not returning are those who defer because of uncertainty or ambiguity about university.

slide-26
SLIDE 26

What commencing students say

CRICOS No. 00213J

a university for the real world

R

  • Transition depends on many factors such as course,

backgrounds, previous educational experience, family experience with university, cultural and social groupings, etc

  • What students hope and expect from university:

– a rewarding experience, learning new ‘skills’, fun, social, motivating, balanced, relevant (to my interests and career), busy, intense, demanding

  • Their fears and concerns:

– being able to understand lecturers/tutors, how to do assignments, reference, exams, written and oral communication skills, being left behind, where to go and who to see for support, getting lost, fear of failure (not having the skills, motivation, ability), time management, understanding and meeting course expectations

slide-27
SLIDE 27

Tips for a successful transition

CRICOS No. 00213J

R

  • Come onto campus as much as possible prior to semester
  • Self identify any possible academic skill development needs

and book a study solutions session

  • Take a time management workshop during Orientation

a replacement two-year graduate entry course is being developed during 2012 for introduction in 2014.

  • Prerequisites for teacher education courses (Science, Maths

and English to Year 12, more stringent teaching area requirements for Graduate Entry).

  • Dual awards with Creative Industries are suspended. A new

arrangement aligned to the new graduate entry program is under consideration.

  • The first two years of the Bachelor of Education (Early

Childhood) are now available at Caboolture.

  • An exciting new suite of programs based on cutting edge

Working with children with disabilities or Indigenous students

  • All three Education degrees provide students with opportunity

to select units in these areas:

– Students can choose complementary options (four units) in the Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood) in Studies in Inclusive Education and Studies in Indigenous Education. – The Bachelor of Education (Primary) provides students with the opportunity to undertake minors in English as a Second Language (ESL), Indigenous Education and Studies in Inclusive Education. – ESL is one of the teaching areas in the Bachelor of Education (Secondary), and Indigenous and inclusive education are embedded in the course.

  • QUT new degree structures will enable minors in these

specialist areas.

  • However, postgraduate study at a masters level is usually

required to truly specialise in these areas.

Literacy tests

CRICOS No. 00213J

a university for the real world

R

What is the literacy test for education students that they need to pass to progress?

  • All Bachelor of Education students are required to satisfactorily complete

assessment criteria relating to QCT literacy standards by the end of year three of their course in order to meet the course requirements.

  • Literacy modules have been developed as a remedial action for students

who do not attain satisfactory standards on the relevant literacy criterion during their assessment in the first year of their studies. Students will have the support of the First Year Experience Coordinator.

  • Students may attempt these modules any number of times during the first

three years of their program. At the end of year three, unsatisfactory results within course work and these modules may result in a recommendation for an early exit from the four year degree.

  • The literacy requirement applies to double degree students with a slight

variation.

  • Applicants for primary teacher registration in Queensland may soon be

required to pass a pre-registration test in literacy, numeracy and science. It is expected that the test will be computer based and predominantly multiple choice.

Will there be more jobs now for early childhood teachers because of new Early Childhood programs? It is expected that demand for early childhood teachers will increase with the introduction of the new kindergarten and the National Quality
