Applied reflective critique (2,500 words 70%)
This assessment task requires the participant to look back and reflect upon your posts within the forum discussions. In order to submit this assessment participants must have contributed a minimum of 6 posts to ‘Thought Questions’ the over the 10 week period. Participants should select 6 relevant posts and reflect on how their knowledge, thinking and coaching behaviour has evolved.
The four core criteria for the assessment of this work will be:
- Knowledge and understanding of concepts
- Does the writing show a critical engagement with the concepts and theories that it introduces?
- Knowledge and use of the literature
- Have the relevant key references been used?
- Have other relevant sources been drawn upon and coherently integrated into the analysis?
- Constructing academic discourse
- Has the writing been produced with careful attention to the quality of expression and presentation, and with skilful exposition of ideas?
- Relating theory to practice
- How has the theory informed your practice?
- Has your behaviour changed as a result of the theory?
So as you can see from these criteria not only do you have to have posted a minimum of 6 posts but these posts also have to show a development of ideas and hopefully how this relates to practice in your own particular environments. I would suggest that you look back though your posts and start thinking how you can develop your work. Also note that this is worth 70% of the final course grade and is due to be submitted by midnight on Sunday 20th December.
I plan to discuss this more fully during weeks 11& 12 but I want to draw your attention to this now so you can reflect upon it a little.
