LEARNING, TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT - STRATEGY AND METHODS The use of reflection on your performance across the whole route is particularly encouraged in this Module. The Personal and Professional Development Plan (PPDP) process will give you the opportunity to review your individual capabilities, set action plans and time management goals, reflect critically on your progress both professionally and personally and provide you with a way to create and record your own opportunities for innovation and creativity in your learning. PPDP should draw on formatively and summatively assessed work, and also non academic experiences. This module has an emphasis on the development of real-world skills, both subject specific and generic, and this should be reflected in your PPDP. TUTOR-LED ACTIVITIES Class contact time: The learning and teaching strategy is designed to engage you actively with the acquisition of knowledge and skills. Via lectures, you will learn about work based skills and their application to various settings. Seminar work and electronic resources will enhance lecture based learning. Learning support: Lecturers will allocate time during sessions to advise you on your progress. The module will encourage the use of on-line teaching materials and Blackboard to support learning outside the classroom. Assessment Activities: Coursework 100%. Completion of a work placement is a compulsory element of this module. Assessment will help you to progress your knowledge, understanding and application of policies, theories and skills to become a more reflexive learner and practitioner. TUTOR-DIRECTED ACTIVITIES Tutor directed learning Lectures will be supported by directed learning materials that you can work on in your own time and at your own pace. These may take the form of electronic examples of course material, fieldwork guidance, and additional reading. You will apply the skills gained via tutor led and directed work on your work placement and when addressing your PPDP. STUDENT-DIRECTED ACTIVITIES Student-directed learning In order to encourage you be become an autonomous learner, Blackboard will be used to provide materials that will allow you to engage with the Module outside of the teaching environment. Blackboard may be used: As a repository for information To provide links to internal and external learning resources To facilitate assessment for learning activities To feedback information to students To provide access to media rich sources such as video and audio
