TG2: Policy and Provision for Initial Entry Training of Tertiary Level Educators.
This group will establish the nature and extent of national, regional and institutional policies. Some of the information may be available at national level but it will also be necessary to tap more local sources. Particular attention will be given to the extent to which curricula are competency based, as well as approaches to entry level educational development; modes of assessments; current trends; major influences; any drivers for change; and current issues and concerns. The content and coverage of competency-based schemes will be of considerable interest since these will serve as a precursor for establishing the generic and subject-specific competencies for the academic frameworks.
