Synopsis

In this course learners will examine sources, models and contexts of curriculum and program design to enable them to analyse curriculum documentation relevant to their context to inform the development of an education/training program that will respond to an identified training/learning need. Students will design, implement and justify a program of instruction (series of integrated sessions) within their instructional setting and critically analyse both their decision-making processes and instructional outcomes. NOTE: Students enrolling in this course should have access to an actual instructional program in an approved education or training situation.
