ONGOING ACHIEVEMENT RECORD (OAR)

Assessment of practice contributes 50% towards the academic component of the programme. It assesses your ability to demonstrate understanding,

skills and values commensurate with your stage of education. It also outlines the standards/proficiencies you are required to meet by the end of the

placement.

You are assessed on a met/not met basis at the formative stage of the placement and on a pass/fail basis at the summative stage of the placement

experience. The formative assessment should provide you with a clear picture of your strengths and areas for development in relation to the

proficiencies. It may also help identify areas of concern. Areas of concern may relate to either aspects of practice in which you are not achieving in

the anticipated time frame or elements of your conduct in practice that is not considered professional. If concerns are identified mechanisms will be

initiated to work with you and your practice educator. The summative assessment will provide you with a summary of your achievements along with

constructive feedback to inform your future practice.

Early in the placement, students are required to negotiate and formulate a learning contract/learning objectives relevant to the placement setting to

identify how they intend to meet the proficiencies. Students are expected to be proactive in the assessment process and use all of the opportunities

available to them in order to provide evidence of their learning (formatively) and achievement (summatively). Formal supervision on a weekly basis

should record progress against each learning objective whilst providing the opportunity for a range of evidence of achievement to be reviewed and

also recorded by both student and practice educator. Informal supervision opportunities should be used to provide regular ongoing feedback.

All of the proficiencies detailed in this document which have been mapped to theoretical modules must be passed before a student can progress to

the next stage of the programme. Each proficiency should be signed (not ticked) by the named practice educator. If a student does not achieve a

pass in one or more of the proficiencies they will be deemed to have failed their assessment.

To support your ongoing learning and development and to meet regulatory requirements for supporting learning and assessment in practice it is

essential that you understand that you will be required to share the contents of your OAR with practitioners, academic staff and your personal tutor.

Sharing your documentation ensures that any issues can be identified and addressed in order to give you the opportunity to achieve the

requirements in placement that will enable you to progress to subsequent years or qualified status.

BSc(Hons) Occupational Therapy

Evidencing Placement Achievement – Placement 1

During each placement you are required to evidence your placement learning and achievements as

part of your assessment and overall portfolio. The selected evidence should demonstrate what you

have learnt to do and the associated reflections capture what you have learnt from the experience

and how it influences your practice. This part of the portfolio has several purposes:

1. For you - It ensures you start to capture examples of how you are progressing in your

development towards being an Occupational Therapist and how you can critique this

development. In the future as a registered Occupational Therapist you will be required by

the Health & Care Professions Council to maintain a reflective portfolio which evidences your

continuing professional development and life-long learning in order for you to be eligible to

re-register. This is your opportunity to start to develop this skill.

2. For you and your practice educator to use as evidence to monitor your progress and

acknowledge your achievements in relation to the Assessment of Practice Tool (APT).

3. For you and your personal tutor to review and discuss your next stage of development.

4. For the placement team to use as a moderation process

The components of Evidencing Placement Achievement are:

A: Completed Assessment of Practice Tool

B: Learning contract and learning log

C: Records of supervision

D: Matrix of evidence and supporting reflections

E: Training Certificates

F: Hours sheet

How to complete section D

Consider the evidence you have documented in your learning log which has been verified by your

PE. Using the reflection proforma given to you reflect about your learning in relation to this

evidence.

Use the checklist matrix below to record evidence you are reflecting on, the title of the relevant

reflection, and dates that reflections are completed.

It is anticipated that one reflection will be completed each week of placement and that this

should be no more than 2 pages long. You should therefore have 7 completed reflections by the

end of your placement. It is important to relate each reflection to an area of proficiency within the

assessment of practice tool. The areas of proficiency may be addressed in any order. You will need

to share your reflections with your practice educator who is required to verify on the checklist

matrix on a weekly basis that this has been done. You will also share your reflections with academic

staff and/or peers as part of the mid placement support mechanism.
