Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
The LTA approach for this module is blended - with one intensive face-to-face teaching period over two days at the start of the trimester. The modules’ face-to-face teaching will be focused around small group-work in which you will be encouraged to work with Learning & Teaching Methods colleagues and share your experiences. Theoretical perspectives explored and the use of case examples to contextualise the theory (LO1,3). The activity and group-work format has benefits as it will use your existing knowledge of nursing and learning in Singapore, helping students to explore the topics in depth and providing appropriate context (LO 2, 3) There will be on-line tutorials and activities following each face-to-face teaching period and these will be themed in relation to the module content and learning outcomes while maintaining and utilising the opportunities to apply learning to practice. (LO 1-4) Teaching and assessment utilising problem-based scenarios will further enhance the understanding of these theoretical concepts and facilitate their application to the clinical learning environment (LO 1-4) Reflecting on learning and application of learning to clinical practice is nurtured and developed through application of a recognized reflective model (LO 4) These learning opportunities enable achievement of the module summative assessment.
