Education and Training
Education is the process of exchanging systematic instruction, gaining knowledge, skill, and development from studying at an institution. Education tends to be more theoretical than practical, thereby allowing students to develop a deeper understanding of a broad range of topics.
Training is the process of teaching a specific skill that one requires in order to perform a particular job or activity. Training often takes place in classroom settings but can also include field words, depending on the occupation being trained for. The purpose of training is to enhance the performance, productivity, and direction of employees. Training courses usually have a much shorter duration than a proper education.
Education and Training will cover a series of major educational topics like sociology, anthropology, psychology, political science, economics, and counselling. This discipline offers courses that help students develop certain skills that will be beneficial for their future employment roles. This discipline covers topics like teaching, learning, and behaviour management in the learning environment, action research, curriculum development, independent study, education policies, educational psychology, and reflective professional practice skills.
The discipline allows students to be a part of a whole learning process. Individuals will learn new techniques related to information sharing and transfer, within and outside the classroom while teaching a class of students. Graduates with an Education and Training degree will have a good understanding of human behaviour and the development of society. Individuals enrolling for a course in education and training are prepared to identify students needs, adapt to the overall needs of students, and overcome any kind of response from students. Students pursuing this discipline can expect to attain a clear understanding of their capabilities as well as others. The discipline will help potential teachers make the best out of their students academic purpose.
