This module will be completed during a semester dominated by practice-based education placement experience. The module aims to support students in exploring and developing their clinical reasoning and reflective practice skills. Students will be encouraged to consider their experiences from practice-based education placements, reflecting on varied aspects of these.
Given the relatively intensive placement activity, module content will be minimal and delivered asynchronously, providing students with the tools to develop their reflective practice while tutorials and opportunities for peer-group learning will be afforded intermittently across the semester to support their learning.
Finally, students will be required to engage in contemporary and varied approaches to recording reflective practice with a view to optimising their approach to continuing this in the future.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the module students should be able to:
Engage meaningfully and critically in reflecting on their own practice and identify the related advantages for their personal, professional and service development.
Reflect on multi-disciplinary team dynamics and evaluate their own professional identity.
Critically examine the integration of evidence into their practice and consider the benefits and limitations of evidence-based practice.
Critically reflect on inter-personal relationships in their practice with reference to cultural diversity.
Record their reflections using different media and justify their preferences with reference to optimising their development.
