PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION

The broad purpose of this qualification is vocational; it is to develop a basic understanding of the principles and practice of learning and development in the associated fields of education, training and development. The qualification provides learners with appropriate mix knowledge, skills and values required for occupational and professional purposes. Work on the programme is focused primarily on developing applied competence reflexively grounded in appropriate theory, contextual understanding and practical skills.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

Students are required to have a Senior Certificate or Qualification equivalent in terms of the NQF, and must be able to communicate in speech and writing in English to a standard acceptable to the faculty. Alternatively students may be admitted with the permission of Senate.

RECOGNISE PREVIOUS LEARNING?

EXIT LEVEL OUTCOMES

Students will demonstrate a conceptual and theoretical understanding of adult learners and learning processes. They will be able to develop, design and administer effective education, training and development programmes in specific contexts. They will demonstrate the ability to reflect critically on their own work and solve related problems. They will be able to demonstrate foundational competence in the area of academic learning that would enable them to progress to a higher educational level.

ASSOCIATED ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

The criteria applied are derived directly form the outcomes, assessed through a combination of assignments, portfolios and examinations.

Integrated assessment appropriately incorporated to ensure that the purpose of the qualification is achieved:

Candidates will demonstrate their ability and proficiency in each of the learning outcomes. These may be assessed in an integrated manner by assignments, tutorials, oral presentations and examinations.

The University of Natal is currently reforming its assessment strategies to include the assessment of applied competence for each qualification. In the meantime, a combination of continuous assessment and traditional written examinations serve to assess the integration of all/most of the learning outcomes for each module in a qualification.

ARTICULATION OPTIONS

Students will be able to progress to a Diploma in Education, Training and Development, or alternatively into the Bachelor's Degree in Education, Training and Development. In either case, they would receive credits for those modules successfully completed. In addition, modules offered for this qualification can be taken by students towards other qualifications in this and other higher education institutions provided that all the prerequisite requirements are met.

MODERATION OPTIONS

The ETQA system for HE is not yet fully developed. Until such time as it is, procedures described under assessors criteria suffice.

CRITERIA FOR THE REGISTRATION OF ASSESSORS

Until the HEQC establishes a registration system for assessors in the HET Band, the University of Natal assumes that, on the basis of its rigorous selection criteria for the appointment of academic staff (who also have opportunities for staff development in assessment), staff are competent to assess students on the modules they teach. This assessment is quality assured via a university system of internal moderation and external examination. External examiners are appointed for their teaching and disciplinary expertise and subject to the approval of faculty Boards. The University of Natal ruling is that 66 % of all assessments at exit level, i.e. leading to qualifications are externally examined.

REREGISTRATION HISTORY

As per the SAQA Board decision/s at that time, this qualification was Reregistered in 2006; 2009; 2012; 2015.

PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THIS QUALIFICATION:

This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
