Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
A programme focussed approach is taken to learning, teaching and assessment. This means that common methodologies are used to help you to master a range of presentation skills that will be essential in future employment. Each taught input uses a wide variety of audio-visual resources, group debate and peer-review activities to foster engagement in research issues. You will be supported in the planning and undertaking of your individual research portfolio (LO2). Field research will enable you to examine and apply various research methods (LO1). Critical appraisal and analysis of the issues relating to the portfolio subject (LOs 3,4), will be supported through formative assessment. Application of critical insight into the process and conclusions of the research process (LOs 1,3,4) will be creatively presented in the production of a complete portfolio (LO5) in a chosen media.Teaching and learning methods on this module reflect the variety of topics and approaches to self- selected projects, both in theory and practice. Tutorials, seminars and one to one supervision will explore and develop students’ capabilities in research, analysis and portfolio presentation.
|
Formative feedback is provided throughout the module in tutorials, group discussions and presentations. Formative assessment will take place informally at midway points during scheduled learning activities. A formal presentation of proposals will take place formally in week 4 where you will receive formative feedback. This will help to direct your learning prior to submission of work for summative assessment.
|
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 research 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 portfolio will be a substantial body of work including research, documentation and reflection on creative process, results of creative process, and critical reflection on all creative activity, with reference to socio-cultural and theoretical issues raised by the course. Portfolios will be assessed based on their overall demonstration of achievement of module learning outcomes. The portfolio as a whole must demonstrate a developing knowledge and understanding of key concepts in the module through exploration of key relationships between creative practice, the production of creative outcomes and their impact on society from a historical and cultural context. The portfolio must also demonstrate a clear ability to observe, critically explore and present opinions these themes.
