Bachelor of Adult and
Vocational Education
(BAdVocEd)
Course code: E3G
Students in the field of adult and vocational education
typically work in, or wish to work in, the following
capacities:
• educators of adults in TAFE institutes
• trainers and educators in industry, such as human
resource developers
• teachers in adult and community education
• adult English language, literacy and numeracy
educators
• instructional designers.
It is envisaged that graduate students of this degree will
soon be recognised as suitably qualified to teach
vocational, education and training subjects in High
School and Secondary Colleges.
The BAdVocEd provides a 3-year award in adult and
vocational education. Once applicants have successfully
gained entry to the course through the normal
University’s Rules of Admission, which include
provisions for mature age entry or previous work
experience, they then have two options depending on
their qualifications and experience:
1 they may then apply for and gain credit of one
whole year’s full-time study for previous relevant
qualifications and experience;
2 they may be granted partial credit for their existing
qualifications, or not qualify for any credit against
the first year of study. In this case, applicants may
negotiate with the sub-dean of Adult and
Vocational Education to identify an appropriate
group of Units in another faculty or faculties which
will satisfy the requirements for all or part of the
first year of study.
Admission requirements & prerequisites
Students who are successful at gaining entry to the
course, and who demonstrate eligibility for credit of the
first year of study, are admitted directly to Year 2 of
study, and study for two additional years (full-time or
equivalent part-time) to complete the degree.
This means that:
1 applicants have to demonstrate they possess one
year of university study or equivalent. Many
applicants for this award might not have a full year
of university study, and might apply successfully
as having the equivalent. If this fits your profile, see
the section below about the nature of equivalence;
2 applicants have to demonstrate that they have had
a total of three years of appropriate work
experience, either full time or in part-time
equivalence. For many applicants, ‘appropriate
work’ will mean work in the field in which they
intend to study, for example, for the applicant
whose existing qualification is a TAFE Associate
Diploma in Business Studies, their 3 years of
‘appropriate’ work experience may consist of a
portfolio of different jobs in different aspects of
‘business’ over, say, a 10 year period.
Mode of study
The course is offered in a fully external mode by a
flexible delivery format. The distance materials are
supplemented by a variety of flexible alternatives,
including optional face-to-face tutorials and seminars,
computer-web sites, tele- and video-seminars, e-mail,
fax and phone.
Practical work
Practical work is an essential element of this course.
Students must have access to, or be prepared to
negotiate access to, a site where their prescribed
practical work can be carried out and assessed. The
university lecturer who coordinates the practical work
will help students in this task, but the primary
responsibility rests with the student.
Documentation
Applicants must provide sufficient documentation for
the University to be able to assess their application
easily. It is in their interest to ensure that the copies of
degree, diploma, certificate and other course records
are provided in a clearly presented manner, with a clear
covering statement which summarises the full-time
equivalence of each course claimed, and totals these
into a claim against one year of credit.
What is ‘equivalence’ and how is it
demonstrated?
Normally equivalence for year 1 of the course will be
demonstrated through the possession of an appropriate
diploma or advanced diploma (or equivalent). It is
suggested that students document all courses, long and

Education
The Faculty of Education incorporates two Schools
responsible for teaching a variety of educational
courses (shown in brackets):
• School of Early Childhood and Primary Education
(Early Childhood Education (ECE) and Primary
Education, In-Service Education)
• School of Secondary and Post-Compulsory
Education (Adult and Vocational Education, Secondary
Education (BEd in teach out), Teaching (including
secondary specialisations), Postgraduate courses in Education,
Professional Doctorate in Education, Human Movement)
Course and Unit Handbook, 1999, page 82

University of Tasmania – Course and Unit Handbook, 1999
short, that they have undertaken, and show clearly in a
summary in their covering letter how long in hours,
days, weeks, months or years of full-time study each
one is, and what the total is. If the courses were part
time, show their full-time equivalent.
Recognition of prior learning and credit
transfer
Credit transfer means that students may be granted
credit against their university course for formal training
already undertaken. Recognition of prior learning is a
process which may result in some of the informal
learning undertaken prior to university study being
counted towards credit of some of the student’s
university course.
Students who wish to proceed with applying to have
any prior learning recognised and credited, should seek
information from the faculty first, then contact the
Assistant Head of School (Adult and Vocational
Education) for University procedures.
Profile of mature-aged entry applicants
Those who apply for entry to this course may be
‘mature-age’ and the University has separate provisions
for entry for mature-aged students. Such applicants are
usually employed, often have families and responsible
community positions. Their study is therefore unlike
the student entering from Year 12 directly into full-time
university study. Some examples are listed for students
to consider:
1 University study: the student may have completed
some studying at a university. If they have
completed the equivalence of one year of study
(and have 3 years appropriate work experience)
they may be admitted directly to year 2 of the
BAdVocEd.
2 Trade background: should have completed an
apprenticeship or an equivalent vocational course.
3 General Studies background: should have an
appropriate professional qualification.
4 Technical background: should have passed an
appropriate degree, diploma or Technicians
Certificate.
The exact wording of the relevant University
requirements is:
Entry
Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Adult and
Vocational Education shall be qualified for entry in
accordance with the provisions of the University’s Rules
of Admission.
All candidates will complete the first year of the course
in another faculty.
To qualify for admission to Year 2 candidates will meet
the following criteria:
1 Candidates must have successfully completed one
full year of degree level study in another faculty
and at least three years of work experience relevant
to the intended area of practice.
AND
2 Candidates must have access to, or be prepared to
negotiate access to a site where their prescribed
practical work can be carried out and assessed.
AND
3 Candidates must provide sufficient documentation
to support their application.
Credit for previous Studies
The Faculty may grant equivalence for the first year on
the basis of advanced diploma or diploma
qualifications or other qualifications deemed to be
equivalent. Intending students who have successfully
completed Certificate IV Workplace Training (Category
2) from a recognised trainer may use this award toward
credit in the second year (subject to first-year
equivalence).
Course objectives
The course provides an initial training for people
entering the field of Adult and Vocational Education.
The course prepares educators, teachers and trainers to
work in a variety of modern educational situations in a
range of context, including technical and further
education, industry and workplace training (for e.g.
human resource development), community and public
education, language, literacy and numeracy education
and instructional design.
The elective studies
There are four areas of elective study possible in the
final year of the course:
• Workplace Learning and Training
• Community and Public Education
• Instructional Design in AdVocEd
• Language, Literacy and Numeracy in AdVocEd
This choice represents leading current trends in Adult
and Vocational Education and will provide relevant
and practical skills and knowledge for application in
these areas.
Articulation
Graduates of the degree may apply to enter the
Bachelor of Adult and Vocational Education (Honours)
program or a range of vocationally relevant Graduate
Certificate programs. All units in the Graduate
Certificate programs may, on application, be credited
one-for-one against units in the Master of Education
progam. Students with outstanding Bachelor of Adult
and Vocational Education (Honours) results of First
class honours of at least GPA 4.00 and a distinction for
the dissertation or Second class upper division of GPA
3.75 and a distinction for the dissertation may articulate
directly into the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program.

Bachelor of Education (BEd) –
Launceston
Course code: E3A
This on-campus 4-year (minimum) full-time, or
equivalent part-time, course is offered by the Faculty of
Education at the Launceston campus, with year 1 being
available at the North West Centre.
Admission requirements & prerequisites
Normal University entry requirements apply.
Course objectives
The Bachelor of Education prepares students for
teaching appointments in early childhood
(kindergarten, prep, grade 1 and 2), and primary
(grades 3-6) situations.
In addition to these programs there are several
secondary specialisations as detailed in the
accompanying schedules which are offered to students
who began prior to 1997. Such secondary
specialisations are not offered to year one students
commencing their course in 1999.
As from 1997 the secondary teaching specialisations
will be offered in the Bachelor of Teaching.
Course structure
Within the two specialisations in the Bachelor of
Education students undertake a course of study that
includes the following elements:
• Liberal Studies within which there is a program of
study for two years. (Students who commenced the
Bachelor of Education prior to 1997 undertake three
years of liberal studies.)
• Education Studies
• School Experience
• Curriculum Studies
A student who completes the first three years of the
course with sufficient merit may apply and be admitted
to continue into the fourth year as an honours
candidate. Such a student will complete many of the
normal coursework requirements of the degree in year
four together with an honours dissertation.
Students who have undertaken an appropriate course
at another Australian, overseas institution or TAFE
college may receive credit for such study. Applications
for credit can be made following admission to the
Bachelor of Education course.

Bachelor of Teaching –
Preliminary Studies
In special cases, the Faculty may accept a candidate for
the degree who does not satisfy normal admission
requirements but has qualifications and relevant
experience which it deems to be a suitable preparation
for admission to the course. In so doing, the Faculty will
require the candidate to undergo appropriate
preliminary studies.
Preliminary studies is a one year full-time (part-time
equivalent) course consisting of 8 degree-level units
each weighted at 12.5% or equivalent. The units are
tailored to the needs of individual candidates and will
require approval of the BTeach Admissions Committee.
Preliminary studies is normally required only for those
candidates wishing to undertake the technology strand
of the degree. The units suitable for such studies may
come from existing degree-level units within the
Faculty of Education or from other faculties and will
allow for development of content knowledge in some
depth (provided any prerequisites can be satisfied) as
well as breadth. Furthermore the qualifying course may
be structured in such a way as to enable students to
gain considerable credit toward another degree at a
later date and/or to build expertise in a second or third
teaching area. Thus a student with an existing broad
content background who wishes to undertake the
technology specialisation may be advised or required to
undertake appropriate units, for example:

Beginning teachers acquire an understanding of, and
ability to use, alternative assessment (monitoring,
evaluating, reporting) procedures in different
pedagogical contexts; a commitment to interrogate
reflectively and evaluate their own particular
conceptions of students, teaching, knowledge, the
school curriculum, learning and education and to alter
their professional practices if necessary after such
reflection; a positive attitude to, and competency in the
use of information technology in education. They are
enabled to undertake research relevant to the
improvement of professional practice and school
effectiveness; and to gain a developed notion of the
character and justification of a liberal democratic
education and the normative expectations it imposes on
teachers, schools, administrators, governments and the
public generally.

The Bachelor of Teaching is a 2-year course taken after
the completion of a first degree. The course is intended
to provide sufficient teaching practice and skills to
enable the beginning teacher to cope with the early
years of teaching and to lay a foundation for further
professional development in both theory and practice of
education.
In 1999 the Early Childhood and Primary streams will
be offered at the Hobart and Launceston campuses. It is
anticipated that the Secondary specialisations will be
taught as follows:

Course objectives
The BTeach program prepares beginning teachers in all
the appropriate major areas of professional competence
which have been identified by relevant professional
organisations. These include an understanding of, and
ability to practice teaching as an active, interactive
process involving the mutual construction of ideas,
understandings, sensibilities and skills rather than the
mere transmission of information; an understanding of
the content, conceptual ordering and methods of
inquiry of relevant subject areas; of how students learn
and develop with individual differences; of the
relationship between content knowledge and the
process of teaching and the ability to plan and manage
the teaching and learning process in an effective,
inclusive and engaging manner; of alternative teaching
practices in particular contexts with particular kinds of
content; and of students, their development, the
contexts that they live and learn in, including how
teaching and learning outcomes are embedded in, and
structured by, a variety of broad cultural and social
processes.
The program enables beginning teachers to
communicate, interact and work with students of
diverse abilities, interests and backgrounds and to
engage them actively in the learning process in an

Professional Doctorate in
Education (EdD) – Launceston
Course code: E9Z
The Faculty of Education introduced a new professional
doctorate in 1995 –a Doctorate in Education (EdD). It is
designed for mid-career educators who wish to prepare
for a major leadership role in the field of education.
Purposes of the EdD program
The EdD will serve the needs of professionals in the
field of education who wish to undertake doctoral level
study so as to improve the quality of their services as
educators and leaders, and to expand their theoretical
understanding of educational practice.
The course will provide predominantly course based
study at the doctoral level. The focus will be on the
systematic review of educational research in relevant
areas of professional practice and the improvement of
professional practice in education. The course includes
an original research component accounting for onethird of the program.
This professional doctorate will be distinguished from
other similar courses by:
(a) targeted assignments within generic areas to help
candidates pursue their own interests;
(b) the extensive use of practical and problem based
learning;
(c) a direct relationship with the leading research
programs of the Education Faculty; and
(d) flexible delivery modes attractive to part time, fulltime and overseas students.
Length of course
The minimum periods of candidature will normally be
three years full time or five years part time. The
maximum periods of candidature will normally be four
years full time or eight years part time.
In appropriate circumstances, and following
recommendations by the candidate’s supervisor, the
EdD Program Committee may consider an application
for extension of the time by which the dissertation must
be submitted. This extension will normally be no longer
than one year.
It will be possible for candidates to complete the
coursework components as full-time candidates in four
semesters, and then complete the EdD dissertation as
part-time candidates. This will be particularly attractive
to interstate and overseas students.
Eligibility for admission
Normally, applicants may be considered eligible for
admission to the award if they have been admitted to
an appropriate master degree by research or course
work offered by the University of Tasmania, or a degree
deemed to be equivalent.
A coursework master’s degree in education will be
accepted as eligible for admission providing applicants
have completed successfully at least one research
methodology unit at master degree level and can
demonstrate, through documented evidence and by
interview, a commitment and potential capacity to meet
the research requirements of the program.
Applicants who possess such other qualifications and
professional experience deemed by the EdD Program
Committee to provide a preparation for study
equivalent to that indicated above may be accepted into
the award.
In addition, applicants normally will be required to
possess at least two years of appropriate professional
experience.
Exemptions
On the grounds of demonstrated equivalence to a
prescribed unit(s), and on the recommendation of a unit
coordinator(s), an applicant may be granted exemption
from a coursework unit(s), providing that:

Course and Unit Handbook, 1999, page 101
Course details – Education – 101
Administration and location of the
course
The course will be administered and taught as a crosscampus program.
The course will be administered by a subcommittee of
the Faculty of Education –the EdD Program Committee,
which will take responsibility for ensuring that
appropriate resources and facilities such as library,
class materials, research laboratories, computing etc. are
available to candidates on a cross-campus basis. An
academic supervisor will be appointed to each EdD
candidate.
Course structure
The program will have two stages. Stage 1 will require
satisfactory completion of eight approved units in
Education of semester (or equivalent) length and a
comprehensive examination. The units are:
1 The Political Economy of Education in International
Perspective
2 Learning and Development: Practices and Theories
3 Intellectual Foundations of Education
4 Research Methods
5 Curriculum and Assessment
6 Governance and Leadership
7 Teaching and Assessment
8 Educational Policy and Professional Practice
The eight coursework units encompass the principal
foundational and applied areas of professional practice
in education. They are simultaneously the basis for
understanding and appraising critically the present
educational processes and practices and developing
informed and effective reforms.
Stage 2 will require a research project in an applied area
of education, the defence of a research proposal, and
the preparation of a dissertation consisting of
approximately 40,000 words.
The program structure is contained in Schedule A. Parttime study as well as full-time study are options. The
detailed content of the units is provided in the
appropriate section of this handbook.
which will substitute for one of the following units:
Curriculum and Assessment, Teaching and
Assessment, School Governance and Leadership, or
Educational Policy and Professional Practice. Substitute
units may be selected from master degree programs
across the University, subject to the approval of the
EdD Program Committee.
Delivery systems to be adopted
Delivery modes will include an appropriate mix of
weekend schools, block release periods, summer
schools and winter schools to meet the 45 contact hour
requirements per unit per semester.
Teaching and supervision
Extensive but not sole use will be made of problembased learning to teach the eight units. Problem-based
learning has been a developing feature of teaching in
the Faculty of Education for some time. Problem-based
learning is an instructional strategy with two variants;
problem-stimulated learning and student-centred
learning.
Whatever the combination of teaching methods, major
and contemporary problems of practice and policy will
be in the foreground, so that students (a) obtain
research-based knowledge from foundational
disciplines, (b) select and employ a range of
disciplinary perspectives, and then (c) develop, present
and defend appropriate plans and proposals.
A feature of the program is a structured, careful
supervision program for each candidate which will
implement the University’s Code of Conduct in
Supervision and Code of Conduct in Research.
An academic supervisor will be appointed to each
candidate at the beginning of the course.
Assessment methods for the dissertation
The dissertation will be examined by a minimum of two
appropriately qualified examiners external to the
University of Tasmania. At least one of the examiners
will be an educationist of international repute. At least
one of the examiners will be an academic in education.
Examiners will be appointed by and report to the EdD
Program Committee.
Application procedures
Applications should be forwarded on the appropriate
application form to: The EdD Coordinator, Faculty of
Education, University of Tasmania.
Candidates wishing to pursue specialised study in
particular areas of the National Curriculum will have
an opportunity to do so within the various units.
The distribution of assignment totals yields a 67:33 ratio
for coursework to research dissertation.
Students may be permitted to take an elective unit

Education
(a) the unit(s) has been completed successfully in an
EdD Program at a recognised university elsewhere;
(b) the unit(s) has not been counted towards the award
of any degree elsewhere; and
(c) that exemptions do not total more than one third of
the requirements of the EdD.
