Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning within this module is organised around a student-centred approach which allows a degree of personalisation in choosing the specific content to be explored as you develop the skills to demonstrate achievement of the intended learning outcomes (LOs1-5). Tutor led lectures and workshops will provide structured presentation of key theoretical concepts, texts and case-studies (LOs1,2). You will meet in peer-led seminar groups to collectively discuss, debate and analyse these ideas and examples (LOs2,3,4). You will present your analyses, discuss, and receive formative feedback from peers and tutors. This may take the form of verbal, visual or textual presentations (LOs3,4).You will work individually and in groups to develop design research projects which test and explore the theoretical ideas presented for consideration in class and through reading material (LOs4,5). Progress on project work will be presented in class to receive formative feedback and assessment on learning. Project work will form the basis of a portfolio submitted for summative assessment (LOs1-5). The student-centred portfolio submission format allows for personalisation in learning throughout the module as you will be encouraged to develop your own areas of interest to explore and critically reflect upon. Portfolios will be assessed based on their overall demonstration of achievement of module learning outcomes, rather than solely on pre-specified attributes of individual tasks.
|
Formative feedback is provided throughout the module in class from peers and tutors during regular group discussions and presentations. Formative assessment will take place at midway points during scheduled learning activities. This will help to direct your learning prior to submission of work for summative assessment. This will take place formally in week 7 and in week 11.
|
Summative assessment will take place through a single submission of a portfolio of work in week 13. This submission will constitute 100% of your summative module grade. The portfolio will present your account of the tasks you have undertaken throughout the module as you have gained and developed an understanding of design research practice. The student-centred portfolio format allows a degree of personalisation in learning throughout the module as you will be encouraged to select and develop your own areas of interest to explore and critically reflect upon. You will have had opportunities to receive formative assessment and feedback on each task undertaken as part of the module. This provides time to implement changes and improvements based on this feedback prior to submission of the final summative assessment. Tasks included within the portfolio may be presented in any appropriate format. The portfolio will be a substantial body of work of documentation and reflection on design research process. At least one component of the portfolio must be an academically written and referenced essay (2,000 words). Portfolios will be assessed based on their overall demonstration of achievement of module learning outcomes, rather than solely on specific attributes of individual tasks. While choice of specific content can be personalised, the portfolio as a whole must demonstrate a developing knowledge and understanding of key concepts in design research and the relationship between design research and practice. In this way the portfolio submission will allow you to present a personalised account of your engagement and activity throughout the module in order to demonstrate that you have met the LOs 1-5.
