| Purpose: Psychosocial wellbeing of learners allows for a multi-sectoral and multi-disciplinary approach towards understanding the psychosocial context of education and training and its impact on learners' work. The purpose of this module is to deepen teachers' knowledge and engagement in theories and applying theory in practice pertaining to the manifestation of learners' vulnerability in different teaching and learning contexts. This module requires teachers to interrogate the body of knowledge including local communities' knowledge in order to apply theory in practice by developing creative responses to psychosocial problems and issues. The module creates opportunities for teachers to use a range of skills to screen, identify and assess learners' vulnerability drawing from positive psychology. Work integrated problem/project based learning allows for advanced reflection and creative responses embracing the spirit of Ubuntu. Intellectual independence is fostered by critical reflection on programme sustainability, suitability of different ethical value systems and accountability for practice. |
