Synopsis

As an initial instructional theory and practice course, TEA2301 will introduce and develop instructional planning and decision making strategies, and basic instructional presentation skills. Through a series of `hands on' activities, students will then be required to begin to develop their individual instructional skills to plan and implement a series of instructional sessions within their instructional setting. At all times students will be encouraged to develop a commitment to self-evaluation as a major factor in their on-going development of an effective personal instructional style. Note: Students while enrolled in this course must be involved, at least part-time, as an instructor/trainer in post-compulsory or community education or industry training. Such involvement must enable the student to plan, implement and evaluate instructional sessions with groups of learners.
