| 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. Each student 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 an aspect of their placement activity, normally either a small-scale research project carried out during their placement, or work on a particular project or programme. The presentation will be equivalent to a 3000 word written paper. Students will make their presentation, reflecting on their learning across the programme as a whole, and respond to questions from a panel normally including both academic staff and fieldwork supervisors.
