Knowledge of a Discipline
The Bachelor of Training and Development prepares professionals in the fields of adult and vocational education to refine their skills in facilitating training and development for capacity-building purposes and applying theoretical knowledge to profession-specific application.
Communication Skills
Communication skills are tailored to promote flexibility in working with adult learners. Communication of information may include essay assignments, practical reports, and/or action-based projects which include reflective practice. Students will be given advice on how to write these, and they will be assessed.
Global Perspectives
Students will be required to understand and analyse developments in global systems of workplace training in other parts of the world. They will be assessed on this understanding in the assignments undertaken. They will also be asked to apply this understanding to their workplace in a journal of reflective practice.
Information Literacy
Students will be assessed on their skills in obtaining appropriate information for the written assignments and reports, using books, journals, and online sources. They will need to discern scholarly knowledge from other forms of information sources and may, in some units, be required to develop their own resources (e.g. curriculum design, action-based learning) for practical application.
Life-Long Learning
The education received in this course is all about lifelong learning. In particular, it is aimed to inform adult learners about the art and wonderment of education as a continuous learning process. Students are taught a range of lifelong teaching and learning skills, assessed on how to seek new information and to critically analyse and refect upon such information. The business-school approach applies the concept of lifelong learning to the continuous learning cycle of the organisation.
Problem Solving
This course provides the opportunity for professionals to refine their skills in training and development. A strong emphasis is placed on reflective praxis. Students are taught the relevant skils to determine training and development needs and how to apply appropriate measures. Problem solving skills will be assessed in written assignments and self-assessments.
Social Responsibility
Students are taught about the needs of professionalism, ethics, the maturation of the workforce, and corporate responsibility and sustainability. Students learn to value the diversity of the workforce, the enriching qualities of human agency, and the need to act decisively on social and cultural issues that may discriminate, marginalise, harm or denegrate a peoples, race, nation or culture.
Team Work
The practices of the Bachelor of Training and Development are developed to promote team-based approaches to improve outcomes and to encourage lateral, strategic thinking for the betterment of the organisation. Students will learn to apply appropriate training and development techniques to improve team performance and organisational effectiveness.
