Reflection on the new TAA Cert 4

link to website
Interesting reflection from Michael Nelson about the way a resource for the new TAA Cert 4 is structured.
'sure our training packages talk about holistic assessment etc., but the framework of CBT has certainly directed the 'delivery' of learning on the book I'm reading (Learning Design - Participant Guide, from Pearson Education). I'd much rather get together with a bunch of other people interested in helping others learn and then work out what we think is important ourselves. It may be that we'd differ from the Cert IV qualification, and we'd probably not go into so much detail, but I'm certain that I'd learn a hell of a lot more through the process of thinking (and debating) rather than being spoon fed my desired behaviour. We could then evaluate our actual practice with our own set of desired skills and knowledge to see where to focus our own learning ... setting our own (achievable) learning goals and learning tasks.'
