Students need to be able to think independently,
and to develop the capacity for autonomy, empowerment, and self-direction.
Teaching and learning activities need to encourage learners to take
responsibility for their learning, to develop critical thinking
and reflection (
Galbraith, 1996). Students also need a range of skills, beyond
the specifics of a subject or discipline, that will enable them
to make an effective contribution to an employing organisation and
to the wider society. Key generic skills include communication and
structured writing, problem solving, interpersonal skills and teamwork
(
ACER, 2000). Appropriate teaching and learning activities can
enhance these skills while the students are learning other aspects
of their course.
