Subject coordinator: Ross Forman
This subject aims to develop the professional skills of teachers/trainers within the vocational education and training (VET) sector to meet the learning needs of adults and young adults. The subject links to industry training requirements and draws upon theories of adult and adolescent learning. It requires participants to develop their teaching/training proficiency through the design, delivery and evaluation of lessons. Practical experiences take place within the university setting and at participants' workplaces; feedback is provided by DVD filming, peers, and UTS professional staff.
The subject is one of a pair. Professional Practice 1 focuses primarily on the teacher's role in providing direct instruction, including demonstration of practical skills. Professional Practice 2 is concerned with the teacher as designer and facilitator of student-centred learning. Both subjects additionally aim to develop participants' written communication skills.
