Synopsis

In  this  unit the student identifies and analyses the main  variables
which influence the nature of post-compulsory teaching and training in
general  and  his/her  own  instructional  activities  in  particular.
Students  will  be  expected  to demonstrate  competency  in  planning
implementing and evaluating a program of instruction for a wide  range
of learners in the post-compulsory education/training sectors.

Students  will be introduced to the skills of assessing  the  training
needs  of  particular  learners  and of analysing  established  course
documentation as the basis of developing instructional programs.

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 enrolled in this unit must be involved at least  part-
time as an instructor/trainer in post-compulsory education or industry
training.   They  must  be  able  to  plan,  implement  and   evaluate
instructional sessions with groups of learners.
