EDVT12008 - VET Pedagogy

General Information

Unit Synopsis

The course builds upon previous understandings of adult learning as it examines issues and debates related to learning in the VET sector. Some of the issues explored include: experience based learning, flexible delivery, lifelong learning, action learning and workplace learning. The course seeks to challenge students' notions of the contexts and provision of adult learning; adult development and learning; the learning process; learning transactions with adults as well as reflections on practice in teaching and learning. It develops knowledge and understanding essential for the design, establishment and management of education, training and assessment systems.

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).
