Assessment Strategy

The assessment strategy is designed to provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate

their achievement of the learning outcomes. 

 

Thus, the summative assessment for this module consists of:

A 2,500 – 3,000 word assignment or a narrated slideshare/presentation* in which the participants will present an autoethnographic case study (LO1-5).

 

*Narrated Slideshare/Presentations (10-15 mins): Participants may opt to produce a more visual representation for their assignment in the form of a slide share or video presentation where this fits more appropriately with the participant’s disciplinary background (e.g. where ‘performance’ may be a key aspect of the discipline). This will be about 10-15 minutes in length.

 

Indicate assessment deadlines: Summative assessment: week 13

 

Formative assessment and feedback

The formative assessments will provide the participants with the opportunity to critique other autoethnographic accounts in preparation for the development of their own summative assessment and to position their assignments in relation to their own professional position/aspirations.

Module aims

• This module aims to: encourage participants to reflect upon their own academic history and professional activity as a way of contextualising their development and professional identity as a ‘leader and developer of others'.

Learning outcomes

Methods of Teaching / Learning

The learning and teaching strategy is designed to:

 

Allow participants to help students to reflect on their role as a developer of others and to articulate an explicit conceptual foundation upon which they can build future professional development.

 

The learning and teaching methods include:

 

a total of 150 hours of study. This will include:

 

25 hours (guided study)

10 hours (formal online interaction)

115 hours (independent study)

 

The guided study will direct the participants to consider their own identity and to think this to the perceived identities of others.

 

Seminars will reflect the module content outlined above and there will be a series of guided study tasks linked to the seminars, the results of which will be posted and discussed online.

 

The published works on national context tends to be very narrow in focus. To overcome this, the further readings list for this module is quite long to include publications that would be of relevance to overseas students, for whom the UKPSF may not appear appropriate.

Indicated Lecture Hours (which may also include seminars, tutorials, workshops and other contact time) are approximate and may include in-class tests where one or more of these are an assessment on the module. In-class tests are scheduled/organised separately to taught content and will be published on to student personal timetables, where they apply to taken modules, as soon as they are finalised by central administration. This will usually be after the initial publication of the teaching timetable for the relevant semester.
