PS13. Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes, Teaching & Learning and Assessment Developing graduate attributed and skills, at any level of HE , is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised. The interrelated factors of Teaching, Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature, are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods, as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme. Ordered by graduate attributes and skills, the following table provides a map of the above, plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each. Therefore, subsequent to the initial completion for approval, maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important: FdSc Zoological Conservation Level 4 c, d a, d d 1-5, 7-13 Key knowledge and understanding is assessed via a combination of multiple choice tests, examinations, essays, presentations and seminar performances CORN171, be a
within the field and put them to productive use; Cognitive and intellectual skills are continually developed through a range of different learning opportunities and assessment tasks. These tasks are designed to drawn on existing understanding so the student can progress own knowledge and understanding through discussion, reflective activities, personal case studies and taught sessions. Having to think, write and communicate at this level requires students to develop these skills. These are integral skills that are developed over time through class activities, development of professional practice and writing essays. Biosciences (Generic standards –good, 1&6) evaluate the appropriateness of different approaches to solving problems related to their area(s) of study and/or work communicate the results of their study/work accurately and reliably, and with structured and coherent arguments have the ability to organise and articulate opinions and arguments in speech and writing using relevant specialist vocabulary be able to access and evaluate bioscience information from a variety of sources and to communicate the principles both orally and in writing (e.g., essays, laboratory reports) in a way that is well-organised, topical and recognises the limits of current hypotheses; be able to apply relevant advanced numerical skills (including statistical analysis where appropriate) to biological data; have a well developed ability to interpret graphical and tabular presentation of data, and collect, use and interpret numerical data as appropriate Class and seminar interactions and feedback c , h c, e d, h d, h ALL Coursework of all types Examination preparation and completion Assessed discussions Group work assessments ALL MODULES NQS204
their individual professional identity. complimented by seminars specific to the creative industries, that focus them on their professional identity. building upon this knowledge in relation to practice. developing ability to make and defend judgements. Function effectively as a member of a team and contribute to an organisation improved effectiveness in the workplace develop an interest in lifelong learning & personal development. Demonstrate competencies associated with key functions in this area. Coursework/group work on practical application questions Reflective assignments Work Based Learning is embedded throughout level 6 of this programme. Assignments require students to complete observations, reflect on practice and apply theory to practice. These activities make a clear link between academic theoretical learning and that of professional Conservation and Countryside Management..
