Transversal Skills Are Those Typically Considered Not Specifically Related: Transversal Skills, TUD, Ireland

Learning Outcomes

Transversal skills are those typically considered not specifically related to a particular job, task, academic discipline, or area of knowledge but as skills that can be used in a wide variety of situations and work settings. These skills are increasingly in high demand for learners to successfully adapt to changes and to lead meaningful and productive lives.

On successful completion of this assessment, learners will be able to:

• Apply critical thinking and analytical skills to address typical National/Global issues (MIPLO 12; MIPLO 13).
• Participate and contribute constructively in a team environment (MIPLO 12).
• Engage in reflection on their own learning needs within the framework of lifelong learning. (MIPLO 14)

Task – Application of Transversal Skills

This document gives you the information you need to complete your first assessment task for this module. It’s important to read every section of this document carefully. You will be given time to ask questions about the requirements of the assessment task during class on Nov 6th.

You should use that time to ask questions and check anything you are unsure of. You will also be given time to engage in some of your group/teamwork during class on Nov 6th but you must have your research/information complete by that date.
