Teaching Methods for Technology: Requirements and Credit Rules

This page explains when Teaching Methods for Technology is required, how it is classified for graduation requirements, when it is offered, and how its credits count toward teaching-licence requirements.

Requirement and graduation classification

Teaching Methods for Technology is a required course for students obtaining a junior-high-school teaching licence. It is listed as required only for the junior-high-school licence in the supplied curriculum information. The course carries 4 credits and is classified as a free-choice course for graduation requirements. However, a note in the teaching-methods table states that the course must be completed, so its free-choice classification does not remove the licensure requirement.

Course schedule and availability

In the 2025 course listings, Teaching Methods for Technology is a 4-credit, year-long lecture offered to students in years 2 and 3. It is listed under teaching code 3208 and is offered in alternate years with Teaching Methods for Technology Education; the 2025 listing identifies it as the year in which Teaching Methods for Technology is offered. In the 2026 Engineering Faculty listing, the course is marked as not offered.

How the credits count for a high-school licence

When obtaining a high-school teaching licence, credits earned in Teaching Methods for Technology cannot be counted toward any category except university-defined subjects. They cannot be applied to credits in any other high-school-licence category. The same rule applies to the listed middle-school-only courses in mathematics and science teaching methods, as well as Teaching Practicum II.
