Overview

In this unit, you are required to research, develop, manage and deliver (teach) a unit of work that matches the learning outcomes specified to you by your client (supervising teacher) at your placement institution. Prior to your placement, you must participate in a series of workshops on understanding and catering for different learners, motivation, teamwork, goal setting, planning, management, leadership, effective communication and presentation skills, asking the right questions and reflection. While there is an emphasis on how you can directly apply this knowledge in the short-term (during your school placements), you are also required to consider how you will transfer this learning into your future engineering or education workplaces.

Offerings in 2020

The 2020 handbook lists no offerings for ENG3101.

Learning outcomes

When you finish this unit, you should be able to:

  1. 1

    Identify the professional and personal attributes expected by employers of engineering and education graduates and create a personal development plan.

  2. 2

    Interpret the teaching client's brief and formulate a tailored learning project that specifically meets these desired outcomes, within the available scope.

  3. 3

    Design a cohesive and well-structured program of learning by collaborating within a multidisciplinary team.

  4. 4

    Manage client expectations, program schedules, resources, health and safety risks.

  5. 5

    Reflect on the outcomes and feedback of the program of teaching and the professional skills that have been developed noting areas for further development.

  6. 6

    Demonstrate how you can transfer your learning from the context of this elective into your future professional workplaces.

Workload and teaching

Minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per semester typically comprising a mixture of 4 - 6 hours of scheduled learning activities and 6 - 8 hours independent study per week. Scheduled activities may include a combination of teacher-directed learning, peer-directed learning and online engagement. Independent study may include associated readings, assessment and preparation for scheduled activities. If independent study during mid-semester break, SWOT VAC and exam periods are included, the total workload can exceed the minimum expected workload.
