Contemporary VET Pedagogical Practice

EDTAS2005 Contemporary VET Pedagogical Practice

This unit is aimed at improving students¿ current teaching practice and to develop in students the knowledge and skills to reflect critically on their vocational education and training pedagogical practice. They will undertake a structured 100 hour practicum in vocational education and training (in the formal VET sector) during which they will be required to teach students and seek, and to provide to others, observation of teaching/training and assessment, and to engage in other teaching-related duties including presenting to teacher meetings. The practicum may be undertaken as part of their normal work. Students will also provide evidence of previous periods of practicum undertaken. Students will identify current challenges in VET teaching/training and assessment, both in their own practice and more generally, and will be required during their practicum to address such issues.
