A system approach to an outcomes-based competence profile of education, training and development practitioners in the South African National Defence Force

This study concerns the identification of the particular competences required by education,
training and development practitioners (ETD practitioners) in the South African National
Defence Force to develop suitable and appropriate career and training strategies. An applied
research approach and a primarily quantitative approach were used. Questionnaires were
completed by the commanding officers or the training managers, as well as the ETD
practitioners at the education, training and development providers in the South African
National Defence Force to determine the actual utilisation of ETD practitioners. Descriptive
statistics were used to determine the roles, core competences, levels of competences and
clusters of competences required by ETD practitioners in the South African National Defence
Force. In addition, the actual utilisation of ETD practitioners was compared with a proposed
competence profile that was based on the literature study in order to determine the
competence gap that has to be addressed by means of career and training strategies. / Educational Studies / M.Ed.(Didactics)
