Department of Organisational and Labour Studies TEACHING COMPARATIVE INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS: CONTINUITY AND CHANGE
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper examines the objectives, content and methods of Comparative Industrial Relations courses in Australian and New Zealand universities. It identifies changes in the approaches to teaching the subject since a 1990 survey. Using 25 course outlines at both undergraduate and postgraduate level from 15 universities, the paper examines some of the choices lecturers face-selection of countries and themes, the use of theory, and the application of effective and innovative teaching strategies. Some new themes have emerged in the past decade, developing Asian countries are increasingly being included in courses, and the theoretical base is broadening. Overall, however, Comparative Industrial Relations courses are highly diverse in content, reflecting the explicit and implicit objectives of those who teach them.
