| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & Teaching MethodsThe main leaning process is through placements whereby students undertake a minimum of 48 weeks paid employment and derive learning from their experience and observation. Briefing sessions will be provided before students undertake their placements which will advise them of the work-based learning process and help with their CVs and interview skills. Each student will have appointed a personal tutor who will visit the student twice during the course of the placement and provide advice on how best to fulfilling the learning outcomes. About midway through the placement students will be invited to a recall day. The main focus of this will be to encourage students to adopt a reflective/analytical approach to their learning and to share experiences with each other and from past students. Embedding employability/PDP/scholarship skillsIt is self evident that 48 weeks work experience improves students employability. It is important, however, that such work experience is integrated with course learning in order to enable students to make linkages between theory and practice. Analytical skills will be improved by students adopting a proactive approach to learning during the course of their placement. This will be achieved by means of a learning plan and a reflective diary enabling students to develop a deeper understanding of the workplace environment.
|
Formative assessment is provided in the early stages of their placement by the students’ producing a draft learning plan. This represents the students’ first attempt as to how they expect to fulfil the learning outcomes which are required in their learning portfolio. This draft learning plan will be discussed with their tutor and provides a basis for their learning during the course of their placement. The draft learning plan will account for 10% of the marks of the overall module. Students will keep a diary of their learning and experience.

The University is currently undertaking work to improve the quality of information provided on methods of assessment and feedback.
