This paper considers the potential merits of emotional competency coaching for undergraduate students. We outline the findings from our previous work which showed, for example, that a sample of First Year undergraduate students failed to engage with coaching primarily because it was not a mandatory aspect of the curricula. An analysis of the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) - which details the specific learning outcomes that must be achieved by all Irish academic syllabi found that this framework makes scant reference to the development of social and emotional skills. Therefore, a revised working model of the NFQ is proposed, which …

A Faculty-Focused Course Design/Redesign Process, Pat Reid

Teaching and Learning Technologies Presentations

Institute for Educational Development, Karachi

An indepth overview of current trends in terms of quality of education and access to and participation in various forms of education programmes indicates that …
