Workplace Learning, Training and Coaching (110N1)

15 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Autumn teaching

This module focuses on how individuals learn and develop in the context of work and organizations. Theories of learning and skill development will be used to inform understanding of how people learn, and theories of occupational choice will frame how this is applied throughout the course of a career. The psychological underpinnings of activities such as training and coaching are examined, with an emphasis on evaluation of interventions.

The organisational perspective related to succession planning, innovation and creativity will be considered. The learning is achieved via a series of workshops (comprising lecturing and interactive activities). The aim is to create a friendly, participative and inclusive learning environment including a range of diverse learning activities. In addition to knowledge generation this approach will enable learners to develop transferable skills essential for success at both university and in the world of work: personal confidence, teamwork & collaboration, self-management and independent learning.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 150 hours of work. This breaks down into about 33 hours of contact time and about 117 hours of independent study. The Â鶹´«Ã½ may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2024/25. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
