Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
A blended module with: a) Two, 2-hour face-to-face sessions in the first 4 weeks, b) you will work together in-person and with academic supervisors to develop a learning agreement, c) in the interim you will research policy and practice d) make an introductory visit or communicate directly with the employer to manage expectations and requirements for the placement. This will shape the learning agreement and ensure knowledge and understanding before placement, e) you will spend the majority of time on work placement and producing the portfolio for submission in week 14. Learning Outcomes LO1: Create a plan for your placement based on identified personal learning needs and evaluate its’ efficacy throughout the placement.LO2: Develop your critical thinking skills in relation to your academic, intellectual, personal, and professional needs.LO3: Effectively self-monitor by keeping daily logs, as well as evaluating and reflecting with reflective practice models, on in-placement learning, considering all professional placement and personal development aspects.Online support is available on Moodle with access to materials and resources to facilitate learning and use of critical thinking, analysis and reflection. These will include tools and examples of evidence for inclusion in portfolio. This will help you to reflect on how educational experience relates to your work experience. You will be supported in developing and implementing your learning agreement by an academic supervisor and will submit the learning agreement in week 4 to allow up to 10 weeks of workplace experience. The necessity to link work experience with learning encourages you to apply research to real world contexts. The module content centres on personal development planning and reflection on employability skills. The three key employability skills that are embedded and assessed through the portfolio are: knowledge of working practices, critical reflective skills, and problem-solving skills. This module confirms to QAA benchmark Hospitality, Leisure, Sport & Tourism (2019)

Throughout your experience both in class and on placement, your professional attitudes and behaviours will be observed so that your placement host can produce a host evaluation to be submitted as part of your final portfolio. You are expected to demonstrate good attendance and engagement with all teaching, learning and placement processes, activities, and discussions. This will ensure a good understanding of why and how to effectively self-monitor your progress during placement, e.g. by completing daily logbooks; and, why and how to engage with effective reflective practice. All of this will support your final portfolio submission.

Component 1: Learning agreement (LO1): The learning agreement has several purposes: • Encourages you to take responsibility for your own learning • Encourages you to evaluate and reflect on your learning • Encourages learning partnerships between clinical staff/lecturers and student(s) • Provides ongoing structure and focus for your placement, so that clinical staff/lecturers and student(s) are aiming for the same goals. This will be delivered in the form of a 10-minute presentation to peers and academic staff in week 4. This assessment is worth 25% of your module grade.Portfolio of evidence (LO1-3): The planning created in component 1, will be carried out and your experiences will be documented in an amended agreement. The portfolio will also contain a critical and reflective report which makes the largest section of this assessment. In addition, the portfolio requires evidence of application of theory to practice, through a placement log book. This logbook includes daily reflections on work based learning elements. A post placement host evaluation is also an expected aspect of this portfolio. The assessment includes a total of 3000 words. This assessment is worth 75% of your module grade.
