Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
This module will consider various methods of delivery. Face-to-face contact will be via a series of lectures and tutorials to develop a basis of theoretical studies and readings (LO1 and LO2). A series of case studies, scenarios and group discussions will support the application of theory to real world practice. Independent study will be negotiated between the student and module tutor in order to develop and reflect upon the link between theory, evidence and practice (LO3 and LO4). All LOs will be assessed through an oral presentation. The module will also support the students in their learning and assessment by way of tutorials and through an on-line presence, by way of discussion forum.

Formative Assessment:
Formative assessment will be applied throughout the delivery of the module by way of tutorials, formative presentations, discussions, on-line questions, and the moodle discussion forum.

Summative Assessment:
The summative assessment include a 30 minute oral presentation in week 4 The summative assessment will engage students through the appropriate research in developing an understanding of expertise development and how this is related to real world settings in their practice. This can take the form of reflections of how evidence can be applied to their practice, or how evidence can inform an impactful applied research project.
