This module aims to support the development of employability skills required in the social care, education and health sectors. It is composed of reflective groups in which issues emerging from the third year of the course, whether academic, personal or professional, can be addressed and integrated.
Reflective groups aim to establish a self-containing learning community and integrate students' learning experience – students can acknowledge and process the emotional and psychological implications of undertaking a challenging programme. The module relates to a requirement on students to keep a reflective journal, leading toward their end of year assignment, the Reflective Report.
Reflective practice modules adhere to the notion of 'situated learning', presented by McMahon (2003) as the 'matching principle' where the working methods of the student and tutor group will reflect the working methods potentially used in the workplace, e.g. staff discussion or sensitivity meetings.
By the end of the module students should be able to:
* Further developed a conscious use of self (self-awareness) in professional relationships
* Participated in 'learning from action' and recognised their role as 'participant observers' in different contexts
* Linked the theoretical learning to their personhood and thus more effectively into actual practice
* Further enhanced capacity to reflect on one's own process in the observing and in the learning contexts
* Become increasingly reflexive and recognise the relationship between self-awareness and therapeutic care
* Had the opportunity to fully recognise and acknowledge the academic, personal and professional journey they have taken over the duration of the BA, and reflected upon the new competencies with which they leave university to enter the workplace
Listen Again is not available for this module.
There are 4 seminars in weeks 3, 4, 17, 18. Teaching is 2hr duration
Students will be discussing and reflecting upon the practical and professional issues thrown up by the work placement, and their personal reactions and responses to these.
