Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The module is designed around online and student-centred learning in practice with an emphasis on building a learning community. The module is introduced by an induction workshop which introduces you to the online resources and explains the assessment process. The module builds on your experience during the Professional Practice 1 and 2 modules and enhances your research and report writing skills. These skills are covered during the induction sessions for this module. You will develop a learning contract in discussion with your line manager and programme leader. The tripartite nature of this agreement is important to ensure that it not only meets your requirements and academic assessment but also your employer benefits through improved organisational performance.This will normally achieved by a face-to-face meeting between all three parties but other means of communication, such as Skype, could also be used. The learning contract will define the nature of the deliverable and also outline the way in which the work will be evaluated. You will develop a reflective log which acts as the focus for discussion with your line manager and academic tutor. During this module there will be three mentoring visits to the organisation by the academic tutor to monitor progress and provide feedback. Support will be also given through online discussion groups.
|
Tutorial/practical sessions are used to provide formative feedback for students on the module. During these sessions, module tutors assess and evaluate student performance on tasks relevant to the summative assessment, providing timely feedback which supports the development of your capabilities. Work-based learning takes place throughout the GA, from interaction with colleagues and the teaching team, from reflection, from maintaining a reflective log and collecting evidence.Workplace mentors will also provide formative feedback during the three face-to-face meetings.
|
Summative assessment is conducted in the form of 3 written reports submitted electronically: Initial Report, Mid-Module Report, a Final Report and a reflective log.In assessment one, the Initial Report, you will set your objectives, both professional and personal for your work-based project. These will be agreed with your line manager and module leader and be the basis for your learning contract. They should be achievable and fit with the objectives and goals of your work team as well as the learning outcomes of this module. These objectives will be appropriate to the programme of study. Your report will be 1000 words in length. (LO2, LO4)In assessment two, the Mid-Session Report, you will reflect upon your professional growth in the workplace and draw on examples from your reflective log. You will highlight areas of growth and improvement as well as those areas which require future development and those areas that you are still to work towards. Your report will be 1500 words in length. (LO1, LO2, LO3)In assessment three, the Final Report, you will use the STARL format to critically appraise, reflect and report on personal, professional and technical achievements. Your report will be 2000 words in length. (LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4)
