Training for Development Education

Course Code: MMALEI_01

Masters Level Module

This module asks participants to develop their own theory of learning appropriate to development education, considering its values and aims of promoting action and change. Based on these understandings of learning participants will consider the implications for trainers in development education. They will explore the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values needed to be an effective trainer on global issues. Participants taking this module will have an interest in and awareness of development education and wish to develop their skills as a trainer in that field. The module focuses on process rather than on the content of training. The module will draw on participants' experience, that of their colleagues, fellow participants and the literature. Participants will have opportunities to practice and develop their training either in their work place, possibly through invitations to train from other organisations or through peer-training with other participants on the module. The module runs over the Autumn and Spring terms.
