Industrial Subject Teaching Methods: Requirement for the Teaching License

Industrial Subject Teaching Methods is generally required for the industrial-subject teaching license, with a legal exception. The course is a four-credit, full-year lecture usually assigned to the second and third years.

Requirement and legal exception

For the teaching license in the industrial subject area, completion of Industrial Subject Teaching Methods is generally required. The exception is when the license is obtained under Note 6 of the table in Article 5, Paragraph 1 of the Enforcement Regulations for the Education Personnel Certification Act. Some guidance wording describes this course, together with Introductory Teaching Studies, Introduction to Education, and Educational Psychology, as desirable preparation rather than expressly stating it as a licensing requirement. The curriculum statements, however, identify Industrial Subject Teaching Methods as required, subject to the legal exception above.
