As a student, part of the assessment process involves<\/p>\n<p>choosing the pivotal learning moments that are significant to you from the knowledge, skills and<\/p>\n<p>experiences you have gained from the module. These form the basis of each \u2018patch\u2019, and you will<\/p>\n<p>need to \u2018stitch\u2019 them together in a way that meets the learning outcomes on which you are being<\/p>\n<p>assessed.<\/p>\n<p>Each patchwork text-based assessment will be unique to each individual student. There should be<\/p>\n<p>four patches, one for each point 1-4 listed below (in this case they would be between 300-500<\/p>\n<p>words each). Point 5 is a patch in its own right but it is also pulling together the threads from all<\/p>\n<p>the other patches to act as a summary at the end. This assessment is designed this way to help<\/p>\n<p>develop you as an autonomous learner. Therefore, you are expected to determine the size of<\/p>\n<p>each patch for your own piece of work, within the limitations of the word count.<\/p>\n<p>The Four Pillars of Practice within the RCOT Career Development Framework (2021) act as the<\/p>\n<p>structure for the patchwork text-based assessment namely: Professional Practice; Facilitation of<\/p>\n<p>Learning; Leadership; and Evidence, research and development.<\/p>\n<p>In the assessment, you must:<\/p>\n<p>1. Map yourself into each Pillar of Practice (RCOT 2021) and identify your current career<\/p>\n<p>level (from 1-9) for each pillar (NB: advice on getting started with the Career Development<\/p>\n<p>Framework is provided on page 7 of the Framework document). Provide a short reflection<\/p>\n<p>(e.g., between 300-500 words), using a model of your choice, to describe why the chosen<\/p>\n<p>career level reflects your current level of personal learning and development. Focus on<\/p>\n<p>strengths as well as areas for development. The reflective piece must be new to this<\/p>\n<p>module. Figures or pictures can be used to support the reflective writing<\/p>\n<p>2. Professional Practice \u2013 provide a very brief outline of the principles of the problem-<\/p>\n<p>solving process and the importance of occupation and activity analysis within the<\/p>\n<p>profession\u2019s theory base. Relate the concepts to observations from your Community<\/p>\n<p>Engagement, placement, or similar learning\/work experience. Maintain confidentiality in<\/p>\n<p>your writing and refer to other professional and ethical values<\/p>\n<p>3. Facilitation of Learning \u2013 identify the specific communication and professional skills you<\/p>\n<p>have developed so far e.g., from module workshops and Community Engagement and<\/p>\n<p>describe how they contribute to your professional development as a learner and future<\/p>\n<p>occupational therapist<\/p>\n<p>4. Leadership \u2013 using the guiding principles in the Leadership Pillar (pgs 36-47, RCOT 2021)<\/p>\n<p>and focusing on the leadership of yourself as a developing occupational therapist, identify<\/p>\n<p>key areas for continued personal and professional development for next year<\/p>\n<p>5. Evidence, research &amp; development \u2013 discuss the importance and demonstrate use of<\/p>\n<p>Academic Year 24 -25<\/p>\n<p>trustworthy sources of evidence to underpin the development of the other patches<\/p>\n<p>including research articles, standards, codes, frameworks and policies<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title of assignment: Patchwork text-based assessment based on RCOT Career Development Framework Pillars (2021) A patchwork text-based assessment is a student-led process that consists of a variety of small sections, each of which is complete in itself.
