Overall Objectives and Outcomes

This unit will help course participants to support the learners in pedagogy skills required to teach Hair and Beauty in vocational education. Learners will be exposed to different models and teaching techniques including learning by practice (trial and error) learning through experimentation, reflecting as well as other alternative techniques. This design will encourage thinking and response in course participants to achieve the understanding of the role of the teacher and learner, how to organize time and space, interactive teaching, demonstrations and inductive teaching strategies that help learners form a clear understanding of the concept. Constructive teaching to enhance active learning as opposed to passively receiving information, problem solving, role plays and dialogue shall be the guiding principle to emphasis learners as the makers of meaning and knowledge.

By the end of this programme, participants should be able to:
