EE and Assessment in Practice Learning Event. London 1 April 2011
Judy Kerr, University of Stirling
In existence in the seventies, firmly established as part of CCETSW’s DipSW regulations
Pivotal role in the collaboration between HEIs and agencies in assessment of student practice and ‘readiness’ to qualify
Quality assurance through monitoring of:1.Those assessing practice2.The process of assessment3.The learning opportunities provided to SW
students
Judy Kerr,University of Stirling
Structural layer(HEIs) in the moderation of assessment decisions
Advisory role >Exam Board Critical to HEI processes given
subcontracted nature of ‘off campus’ teaching and assessment
Partnership representation between Universities and employers
Judy Kerr,University of Stirling
Principle of advisory or assessment panels continues in Degree programmes
Interpretation across programmes varies both in process and membership
HEI responsibility for QA –role/need for agency involvement?
Demands on practice colleagues- shifting priorities
Judy Kerr,University of Stirling
Strong support for principle and practice Commended by staff and EEs for partner
links and voice in assessment of practice Maintains standards given changes in role
of PTs Robust approach to evidence Needs commitment from agencies
Judy Kerr,University of Stirling
Valuing of practice ‘Equality’ of membership Strong team and feel part of it Increased ‘academic’ confidence Consistent decision making ‘We work well together and have influenced
standards of reports’
Judy Kerr,University of Stirling
Principle is ‘sound’ ‘It’s not fair I was asked for more evidence
and my friend wasn’t’ ‘I pinned my hopes on it overturning my
PT’s recommendation- it didn’t.’ Feed back – ‘brief’, ‘helpful’, ‘useful for my
next placement’
Judy Kerr,University of Stirling
Attendance requirements- need for panels to be quorate
Fairness of assessment processes- student anonymity, conflicts of interest, consistency
All portfolios v sample? Balance of evidence- student or PE?
Judy Kerr,University of Stirling
PAPs remain fit for purpose and worth keeping but:
1. In the current climate are they sustainable?2. Is the constitution the sole prerogative of
HEIs?3.Has the shifting ‘landscape’ of practice
learning impacted on consistent and reliable assessment of student practice?
