This unit is conducted in the form of small self-development groups which offer each student the opportunity to experience and explore personal/professional and interpersonal issues. The purpose of the group is to augment and strengthen the students awareness and ability to engage personally and inter-personally within an experiential group situation. The unit provides a safe, confidential space to explore and examine students personal attitudes, views, assumptions and interpersonal issues. The practical rationale for the Self-Development 2 group process is to reinforce students' understanding and appreciation of the ways in which their personal concerns may impact on their interpersonal communication and professional counselling skills. Due to the experiential group method and requirement for active participation in this unit, new enrolments are not accepted after the end of the first week of the semester.
Unit was previously coded COU3102, COU5105
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Experiential learning processes including small group participation. In the on-campus mode, students are required to actively participate in small and larger self development group processes and activities on a weekly basis in class time. In the off-campus mode, the unit is interactive with requirements for active weekly contributions to small self development groups using Discussion Board. Interaction is therefore not conducted in 'real time'.
