Synopsis

Placements are central to BTEC courses, sandwich degrees, and the education of nurses, social workers and teachers. But it is an open question whether the placement is as valuable an educational experience as it ought to be - the management of placements so as to give maximum educational benefit to the learner depends on students having the opportunity to reflect on the situation and to develop learning opportunities themslelves. The roles of the student, workplace supervisor and college tutor are critical in making placements worthwhile. And assessment must be properly related to the special kinds of learning which placements engender. This book explores these issues, and proposes a practical solution to the successful management of work experience. Full documentation is provided which forms the basis of a system for managing, monitoring and assessing work placements.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book, first published in 1992, sets out the belief that the placement element of courses should be designed from the start as a genuine educational experience. The learner most not merely live through experiences which are supposed to lead to personal and professional development, but must reflect on experiences in a way which is planned to lead to such development. This book will be of practical value to educators responsible for supervised work experience at all levels in further and higher education.
