However, i was offered secondary school bio as my first teaching subject, and computer applications as my second teaching subject. I am completely clueless on these IT stuffs. I suspect they gave me this subject because I took one computer programming module while on exchange in Korea. -.-
Any chance they can change my teaching subject? I dont think i can pass any computer skills test if there is a proficiency test being conducted. |
Computer Application is new. But yes I've had a friend who did her
NUS degree in physics but when applied to Pri sch, they gave her music because she had grade 8 piano. So your suspicion is not unfounded.
But tbh, since it is a relatively new subject. No one in our generation would have taken it. So in
NIE, they will definitely equip you with the pedagogical skills and the content knowledge to teach that particular subject. Just that you may have to spend some time to brush up your programming skills? haha.
Changing teaching subject is definitely possible but you have to write in soon. You can start by writing in to the PGDE admin office in
NIE, explaining your case and ask for a change.
