Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
You are required to be employed as a Graduate Level Apprentice to complete this module. You are primarily based in and around Edinburgh. The learning and teaching methods align to learning outcomes 1 to 6. The module is designed around online and student-centred learning in practice with an emphasis on developing a learning community where you can learn and develop together in informal networks in which mutual respect and trust prevails. The module is introduced by an induction workshop which introduces you to the module, online resources and the assessment process. During the induction session presentation and communication skills are covered and practiced with formative feedback given. You will develop a reflective log which acts as the focus for discussion with your line manager and academic tutor. The tripartite nature of this agreement is important to ensure that the work-based activities not only meet your requirements and academic assessment but also the employer benefits through improved staff skills and resources. This will normally be achieved by a face-to-face meeting between all three parties but other means of communication, such as any form of Virtual Learning Environment, could also be used. During this module there will be two mentoring visits to the company by the academic tutor, to monitor progress and provide feedback. Support will be also given through online discussion groups.
|
Tutorial/practical sessions are used to provide formative feedback for you on the module. You will be given formative feedback on your reflective log during your 3 visits. Formative feedback will be given on your reflective log during weeks 4 to 6. During these sessions, module tutors assess and evaluate your performance on tasks relevant to the summative assessment, providing timely feedback which supports the development of your capabilities. Work-based learning takes place throughout the GLA, from interaction with colleagues and the teaching team, from reflection, from maintaining a reflective and collecting evidence. Workplace mentors will also provide formative feedback during the two face-to-face meetings.
|
In assessment one, a series of sub-components will be completed. You will demonstrate your knowledge of your workplace by providing an overview of your organisation and your role in it, detailing the organisation structure and marketplace. You will also complete a risk assessment exercise to any of your previous or current projects to demonstrate an understanding of health and safety in the professional context in Civil Engineering. You will also have to decide a topic for the assessment two report. You will be assessed via an interim report, the development of which will provide the basis for formative feedback as a means to ensure that learning outcomes are being met. In assessment two, the report, you will have to undertake an investigation in line with your current role and the projects you are involved with in your organisation and discuss finding as part of a report. Then, you will also critically review the task undertaken with a view to highlighting learning acquired throughout the process. In the process, you will have to evidence development of key attributes within the context of professional practice in Civil Engineering. You report will be 4500 words in length. You will also complete an academic poster reflecting on the main aspects of your investigation which you will need to present in front of an audience.
