Emphasis is on Action Research, that is, research intended to understand and solve "real-world" problems that occur during the implementation of educational innovations. Topics include assessment of learning outcomes, organizational impact and cost-effectiveness. Typical evaluation models and procedures are reviewed.
Instructional Design Models and Practises
This subject provides students with the understanding of the major instructional design models useful in the training contexts. Major topics covered include the analysis of performance and instructional problems, instructional design processes, and issues and processes of development, implementation and evaluation. Emphasis will be given to how to identify and solve learning and performance problems.
Training Methods and Strategies
The subject will familiarise participants with various training methods such as role-playing, simulation, co-operative and collaborative learning, group discussion, gaming, lecture presentation, and technology-based training methods. The pedagogical principles behind each training methods and the pros and cons of each method will be analysed and discussed.
