The question of connecting what is learned at university and within school sites has always been considered problematic. In the Teaching Project unit. we address this through the issue of the problematic of knowledge production. specifically the work of Gibbons et al. (1994) and Lee, Green and Brennan (2000). In this paper we set out the theoretical frameworks of the unit, including its position as the final unit in the Bachelor of Education (Primary) (BEd(P)) in a developmental continuum. We also show our pedagogical approach using combinations of an online learning management system (WebeT) both on and off campus. We examine the connection between the preparatory workshops and the online work in the first semester and the action research project completed while on internship in second semester. Additionally, the articulation between the Teaching Project unit and professional experience within the Internship unit is discussed.
