TEACHING AND LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES

7 The business school philosophy for learning is to provide students with a challenging and supportive learning environment. Students will experience a variety of learning environments with a breadth of different teaching styles. There will be a mix of lectures, seminars and tutorials to give students the best opportunity to develop their personal skills, and academic skills in addition to their technical competence. Specific details of the strategies used in each module are provided in the individual module specifications. Knowledge and understanding will be acquired through lectures, seminars, small group teaching, case studies and practical classes and directed independent study. Students will be introduced to resources at a very early stage in the degree and it is expected that all students will develop their knowledge and understanding through additional reading. All students will be expected to investigate current news issues, either through newspapers the internet or TV news. Intellectual skills will be promoted through lectures, seminars, practical classes, and small-group discussions, tutorials and group work. The development and application of these skills will be particularly apparent in the compulsory modules. Subject-specific skills will be developed through practical work including accountancy, economic analysis and company analysis. The acquisition and development of a range of specialist subject-specific skills is also an outcome of the various option modules at Level 5 and Level 6. The detailed guidance provided in the skills module at Level 4 and the employability and graduate enterprise modulesand ensures the students have a firm grounding in the relevant skills The dissertation or extended business project at Level 6 will provide the student with an opportunity to demonstrate their overall progress in skills development and knowledge and understanding with a certain degree of independence. However, students on the module will meet regularly with a supervisor to discuss the progress and development of the project. The supervisor will also fulfill a pastoral role. Key skills will be promoted and developed in some form in all the modules at all levels. A number of modules place a specific emphasis on key skills development. - Effective Learning and study skills acquisition and development including themes such as effective reading, effective note-taking, essay writing, revision skills, time management and managing own learning is central to personal tutorial meetings. - Students will acquire and develop a range of communication and presentation skills throughout the course. Written communication skills are developed and enhanced in all modules. - Students are encouraged to work independently in modules at all levels. The development of interactive and group skills is particularly important in business education and will also be fostered alongside individual working. Personal Professional Development (PPD) Progress in the acquisition and development of subject-based knowledge, understanding and skills will be recorded in the students' Personal and professional development (PPD) record. The PPD will encourage students to: - Engage in reflective practice to improve their learning - Take responsibility for their own learning - Plan their learning - Discuss their learning - Record their learning The PPD will be used in every module and supported through the personal tutor system. All students will be given a Personal Professional; development record during the first teaching week of Level 4. It will consist of a file with supporting documentation, including a matrix indicating which skills are developed and assessed in each module, and a number of record sheets. The PPD will not be directly awarded a grade, it is completed on a purely formative basis with recognition on students transcript for those who submit an appropriate portfolio. However, students will be required to use the evidence recorded in the PPD to support reflective associated with a number of modules Students' engagement and progress with the PPD at Levels 5 and 6 will be monitored and supported through personal tutor meetings and the employability / graduate enterprise modules. The PPD process will begin with a guided self-assessment of key and subject-specific skills. The audit will be used to

8 help students to identify 'areas for improvement', in addition to strengths, and to plan their programme of skills development with a definite plan of action emerging. Personal tutors will provide advice and guidance on how skills' deficiencies may be addressed. A module record sheet will be completed for each module a student undertakes. The record sheet requires students to reflect on their progress in modules including action planning, and to record evidence of their achievements and skills development. Time will be provided in all modules for students to complete their module record sheets with a level of guidance from the module leader. Students will also complete a record sheet of PPD meetings with their personal tutor. The personal tutorial record sheet will be part completed by the student in advance of the meeting, and the remainder of the sheet will be used to keep a record of the discussion arising from the meeting. Personal tutors will keep copies of the personal tutorial record sheets as evidence towards the production of references. Three PPD specific personal tutorial meetings will be held at Level 4, and three meetings in each of Level 5 and Level 6. Record sheets will also be provided for prior learning; to record life experiences work experience; and other learning experiences. It is hoped that on graduation students will be able to apply the principles of the PPD process in the world of work and more generally within lifelong learning. The sessions are compulsory attendance although the submission of a portfolio is optional. However it will provide motivated students with the opportunity to enhance their transcript whilst those who are less motivated will not gain the advantage but will not be stopped from progressing onto level five. The students who do not achieve the PPD recognition will not automatically be allowed to go out on placement at level five without further formatively assessed work being completed. Level five personal tutors will be required to have additional meetings with students who do not achieve the PPD recognition. Due to the nature of the process it is a awarded / not-awarded and is not reassessable. Any students not attending the compulsory sessions will automatically be required to attend a student attendance meeting with their personal tutor. Personal Tutorial Programme All students will be allocated a personal tutor at the beginning of Level 4, with another being allocated at level 5 and the supervisor will take this role at level 6. The personal tutor provides advice, guidance and support throughout the students' three years of study. During the first year, personal tutor group meetings are held on the weeks when PPD is delivered (Week 1,2,, 22 and 26) to discuss progress, first impressions, monitor progress, support and guidance for the PPD process, and to work through a structured programme of learning skills development, which essentially acts as an extended induction to learning in higher education. At least three formal tutorial meetings will be held on an individual basis with Level 5 and Level 6 students during the academic year. The aim of these meetings will be for personal tutors to review the progress and welfare of tutees, and to provide support and guidance for the personal development planning process. Technology-enhanced Learning Due to the practical nature of the programme no single module will be delivered solely by technology-enhanced learning. Learning Edge will be used to support the delivery of all modules and independent learning through, for example, providing module handbooks, assessment details, active learning (e.g. quizzes, forums), lecture/practical class outlines and presentations, web-based and computer-based learning resources, and to share programme-level information. In addition, electronic coursework submission, marking and the provision of feedback through Learning Edge will be provided for the majority of modules. Subject specific technology will be utilised where appropriate within specific modules. Independent Learning Independent learning strategies will be used in all three levels of the course to supplement tutor delivered and other specific learning. These will take various forms including directed reading of module texts or journal articles, government papers, video materials, provision of support materials such as company records, and access to reference materials. Students will be provided with access to industry standard databases to use with sessions and to support independent study and analysis, and follow-up of workshops. Independent learning at each level may be structured as follows:

9 Level 4 At Level 4 independent learning generally takes place within a tutor directed framework. Activities may include directed reading from key module texts, directed investigations, learning and study skills, computer-based learning, completion of directed practical class exercises, poster construction, and company and business environmental analysis. Level 5 At Level 5 directed reading has an increased emphasis requiring students to consult a wider range of module texts and journal articles. Other may include computer-based learning, completion of directed practical class, individual and group work associated with independent research projects and work related learning or graduate enterprise. Level 6 At Level 6 independent learning will require a significant degree of student autonomy with respect to reading, project work, dissertation research (including planning, execution and completion) and report production. Directed elements may include reading, computer-based learning, and the completion of directed seminar exercises. 25. FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT Formative assessment will be employed on all modules, the approach taken varying according to the demands of the module and its mode of assessment. Strategies may include: - Class tests and quizzes to assess a students' development of knowledge and understanding - Business environment analysis looking at the impact of political, legal, environmental, social economic and technology - Weekly sessions will allow students to investigate the challenges to businesses in applying the conceptual understanding to the business environment. - Mini-project will be presented in many modules, in some cases they will be stand-alone projects and in some cases they will be linked to the summative assessments. - Exemplar examination questions are answered and reviewed during module sessions so that students can gain an insight into the question types and examination paper styles, and the expected depth of answer Most module assessments will be introduced within sessions and provide opportunities for students to discuss the issues and indication as to their application to the task. 26.
