Modules

This module requires students to reflect critically on theory and practice from an ethical and professional standpoint, explores the implications for professional practice, and provides opportunities for applied learning and continuous professional development. Learning and Talent Development is a term associated with the recent rise in interest in the notion of talent. As a concept it is derived from historical notions of learning and development, training and development, training, and human resource development (HRD). In this module we explore how the introduction of the word talent impacts upon a study of how workers might be developed and develop themselves. In doing so we consider how organisations might benefit from improved performance/productivity, how the workers themselves might benefit by improving their employability and therefore enhance their position within the labour marketplace, and additionally how government socio-political and macro-economic objectives might be facilitated. After an introduction to HRD from a critical perspective, the module progresses by examining different strategic approaches to HRD and the political and ethical dimensions implicit in identifying and selecting specific ?talent? for development.
