Studying Education in Australia at university

澳洲留學-教育學系所

Getting your university degree in Education will prepare you for a wide range of careers – because this isn’t a field restricted to those who want to go into classroom teaching. Bachelors and Masters degrees in Education could tackle the working challenges of teaching school children, but you’ll also find a rich collection of other interests.

若您是教育相關系所畢業將擁有廣大就業市場，教育領域不僅僅侷限於課堂上講課，學士與碩士學位將能讓教導學校學童有其他不同的挑戰，您也會發現其他不同的樂趣。

That’ll include opportunities to examine how humans learn and how we teach. As an Education student you may focus on children’s rights and law, and that could include aspects of gender, culture, religious and belief systems. Your academic studies could give you a far better understanding of how such issues contribute to national curriculums and educational policies – which means students have a chance to explore what is behind the big decisions and long term planning of governments, as they carefully design and invest in education.

教育的研究包括人類如何學習以及如何教導。作為研究教育的學生，您可能會專注於兒童的權利與法律，其又包含性別、文化、宗教和信仰等方面。您的學術研究能了解國家政府對教育的重大決策與長遠計畫。

 

And you’ll find a rich collection of other interests for your own learning – sociology and cultural heritage, including ideas about learning from the past. Plenty of course units in this field give you access to recent research in the psychology and philosophy linked to Education in its various forms.

研究時您將發現豐富有趣的社會學與文化遺產，包含一些以前學習的想法。許多教育領域的課程，讓您學習到各種形式的教育心理學與教育哲學的最新研究成果。

Typically, universities will ensure you are both challenged and provided with knowledge that you can successfully apply in real life situations, delivering your course using a mix of classes that encourage both critical thinking and applying your knowledge. So expect workshops, seminars and group tasks, as well as one-to-one tutorial meetings.

一般來說，您在大學的課程學習到的知識，從工作講習班、研討會、小組討論到一對一教程會議等，將可供您成功且有效地應用於現實活中。

 

Also common, but not universal, is the course requirement of a final year thesis. For this you might find yourself considering evidence from different studies and research reports, using what you find for the debate of issues like male-female equality in schools.

再來就是畢業前的論文準備，研究時您會從各種不同研究報告得到應證，例如您會發現像如何在學校討論男女平等的問題等。

What will you do as a successful graduate? The answer shows that in sheer scale of opportunity, an Education degree will set you up very well. Here are some examples of what you could do and how you could earn your living. If teaching comes top of the list, remember that graduates also embark on careers in the media (including television) and cultural organisations, in publishing, or careers as skilled communicators in management and business, or in business administration.

畢業之後能有甚麼選擇呢？教育領域有相當多方向可以選擇。舉例來說若以教學為主，畢業之後的職業選擇涵蓋像是媒體文教機構、出版業、業務管理與企業管理等。

 

It’s sensible for your choice of course to reflect this, because if your goal is teaching then you’ll need detailed advice on how your university plans to provide opportunities for classroom experience as part of your training, or extending your training beyond your degree. Budding teachers heading for careers in school classrooms should consider whether a double or joint degree covering a school subject will be a better option at university in Australia – specialising in Maths, in Languages or in Science can be a major boost to your job prospects once you have qualified. And of course, you should also know what international recognition there is for your Australian qualification back home in Taiwan.

若您的目標是教學，您可以自由選擇適合自己的課程做學習研究，像是課堂教學經驗實習。即將成為教師的您，職業生涯規畫應考慮是否有雙主修或學位的學校，像是澳洲的大學中數學、語言或科學都會為您的職業規劃有大幫助，澳洲的學歷是有國際認可的，所以在台灣也會有不錯的就業機會。
