Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
LOs 1-5: You will learn through a combination of face to face lecturing and tutorials. You will have access to online resources and Leganto reading list which will provide the core learning material. The core material will be also provided in the lectures which will allow you to understand the key theories and concepts in organisational research, organisational and individual learning and development, group work and leadership, and in organisational design and change (in line with the module objectives). The tutorial discussions and reading provided will further aim to develop your critical appreciation and evaluation of these core concepts. Real life examples of workplace issues and case studies will be used to illustrate the core concepts and exemplify how they would work in practice. You will be asked actively to identify how the concepts and models studied apply to your own experience of work which will further solidify your understanding and provide an opportunity to engage in critical evaluation. In order to emphasise the use of academic literature to build strong critical arguments, you will be asked to search for relevant literature on the topic. You will engage in weekly group discussions of case materials and your literature search to allow collaborative learning that will be maintained throughout the module.
|
Frequent formative assessment will be available through case study/applied problem based learning exercises that you will be invited to discuss in groups. You will be expected to provide examples from your personal experience and comment on those of others in small group discussions. You will be required to do in-class literature-search of relevant to the given topic papers, and share and discuss what you found in small groups. The feedback on the relevance and appropriateness of your literature search will be provided in class. The tutorials also present opportunities for formative feedback on this integration and also for guided reflections on your own experiences.
|
In the assessments, you are expected to present your critical analysis and integration of theory and evidence. The assessment strategy is developed around two key assessments. You will have to propose a research study to investigate an organisational problem and then to develop a change initiative based on a real life work based case study. You will be introduced to the case study at the beginning of the course. Component 1 (40% of module mark; 2000 words) A proposal for a data gathering exercise that uses research methods to underpin a final report (LO1). Component 2 (60% of module mark; 2500 words) A final report which suggests an organisational change initiation in response to a specific organisational issue. The report will focus on leadership, team working, new organisational structure and managing and evaluation of the organisational change (LO2-5).
