Approaches to Teaching and Learning:
The primary method of instruction for this module will be a mix of lectures, group discussions, in-class critical thinking activities and case-based problem-solving. A coordinated synergistic combination of tangible (i.e. instructional material such as academic texts, articles, case studies and technology) and intangible resources (i.e. knowledge, experience and skills) are utilised to achieve pedagogical competence. In addition, student centric innovative delivery techniques such as critical incident analysis and peer-to-peer discussion are adopted while assessment techniques (i.e. In-class individual/group tasks) are constructively aligned with the learning outcomes.
