Introduction

This unit explores the processes used for data collection, analysis, representation and interpretation related to industry relevant data and decision making. Data-based decision-making enables problem solving and innovation to be achieved in industry. You will explore approaches that underpin data-informed decision-making using practical examples. You will engage in collecting, compiling, analysing, interpreting and evaluating data and information. This unit will draw upon the skills and knowledge that you have acquired during the course.

This unit builds on concepts of learning through practice in Year 1 of study by introducing you to more complex learning experiences.

You will be introduced to:

- discipline-based skills and knowledge in dynamic practice situations. This will include authentic and purposeful, industry-related experiences

- concepts of managing effective relationships and communicating with others

- the development and use of adaptive leadership skills and how these skills relate to innovative and entrepreneurial practice- the nature of responsible, accountable and reflective workplace skills, and creative and critical thinking relevant to para-professional practice.

You will exercise self-awareness, initiative and judgement to manage yourself and professional relationships effectively.  The application of tacit knowledge and capabilities will be reflected in a Practice Manual
