This module is delivered through four days of module content. The majority of the learning occurs in preparation for the taught element and project work that flows from the taught element. This involves individual independent study, reading and research, coupled with group work. Lectures are important signposts to learning, but are only part of the educational process at third level. The learning process has therefore been designed to provide students with two broad workload categories:
a) Taught lectures with lectures exploring both required and self-directed reading material; and
b) Individual reflection to develop students’ critical thinking skills.
This module is structured around a series of lectures, readings, papers, case studies and video materials. All students will be encouraged to engage in class discussion in order to facilitate the formation of their critical judgments. Teaching methods will be constructivist, i.e. they will be delivered in the form of scaffolding for the learner who will be encouraged to construct their learning under guidance and with intensive participation. Please note that the number of hours for planned learning activities and independent student activities will vary from student to student, depending on their capability to absorb and apply concepts and tools, and write up work.
