| Course description |
This course focuses on developing practice competence in a supported setting. Participants will relate their academic studies to the practice context where they will undertake professional tasks in a controlled and developmental way. The emphasis is on understanding processes of informal learning and development on the basis of first-hand observation and interaction. Students will have the opportunity to experiment with informal educational methods and to explore the idea of reflective practice during the 8 week block placement. |

Assessment Information
Assessment of the placement practice is carried
out by the fieldwork supervisor, on a pass or fail basis, based on
evidence of competence against explicit performance criteria which
relate directly to the learning outcomes listed above. The students
will assemble a portfolio of material for use as evidence in this
regard.
At the end of their Professional Practice experience the students will
be required to report on a small-scale research project carried out
during their placement. The research presentation will be equivalent
to a 3000 word written paper. Students will present their research,
reflecting on their learning across the programme as a whole, and
respond to questions from a panel including academic staff and
fieldwork supervisors.
