Within the context outlined above, the next section of this paper briefly summarises a study that we undertook to identify
the core KSAs that SHRM students should acquire (Coetzer & Sitlington, 2014). This prior study addressed our first-mentioned
problem: what should be taught in SHRM? Thereafter, we detail a two-phase research project that focussed on our secondmentioned problem: how should we teach SHRM?
