--------- Keep blogging and journal evidence form your workplace --------

Part 1: The Critical Review – this is you explaining the inquiry for an ‘academic’ audience It is primarily written but can contain visual or audio visual elements showing the process of investigating a topic (practitioner research) with analysis that has implications or impact for your practice (any outcomes?). (12th May)

Part 2: The Professional Artefact – this is you explaining the inquiry to a professional audience or community of practice – it can incorporate products/services/outcomes that have come about as a part of the inquiry it can be a document, an event, or an activity (be creative if it is for creative professionals) - it can illustrate to others in your community of practice or workplace - the artefact should emerge from the inquiry and incorporate your ‘findings’ – you are communicating – you might choose to stress certain findings (12th May)

Part 3: The Oral Presentation demonstration/presentation (19th or 20th May) A final summary that shows your progress and shares knowledge and understanding that is based on your ‘inquiry’. Generally in person but can do Skype if away working.

BUILT into the above - you have your blogs, peer conversations in special interest groups and journal extracts – ADD THESE TO YOUR Portfolio in the Evaluation Critical Reflection and appendices

Module 3 Assessment portfolio

repeated questions from March 2017…• Do I use the headings for writing (report style) in the

Critical Review?– Yes the headings will help from the Critical review – you can add

other subheadings as well – like Literature, or the themes from the findings in the analysis section

4 main Headings (see Handbook for details) – Introduction, Evaluation of the Inquiry Process, Analysis of the

Findings - data, literature and experience, Critical Reflection – Title Page– Introduction – 500 words Context and questions– Evaluation of the Inquiry Process – 2500 words Literature and Tools – Analysis of the Findings – 2500 words Conclusions and Recommendations– Critical Reflection – 500 words – Bibliography and Appendices

• What about examples of the artefact?– Look at Reader 7 – and examples on blogs that people have done

previously on the programme

Harvard Referencing From the IWBL Referencing Guide (2013)

• You must provide a reference in two cases: • - When you use someone else’s exact words. In this case you will put the quotation in

inverted commas, insert an in-text quotation with the exact page (see below) which will match the item on the reference list at the end of the work.

• - When you paraphrase someone else’s ideas. In this case no direct quotation is necessary but you will still need to insert an in-text quotation. You might or might not reference to exact pages according to the circumstances. For instance, if you only refer to the general contribution of a book in its field you don’t need a precise page reference. However, if you are paraphrasing something more detailed which is to be found on a precise page, you must reference it.

Completing your Critical ReviewCritical Review - 4 main sections

3. Analysis and Findings – already started? Conclusions and Recommendations – so what does the inquiry mean? Any implications/impact in your professional practice? how was your professional practice affected ( if space allows - why you chose the artefact you did – remember you can also submit an A4 sheet with explanation).

4. Critical Reflection – the last section – what did you learn from your studyThis is thinking about Module 3 but also summing up your achievements from the whole course. What knowledge have you gained – how have you applied your learning? Add the personal to the professional conclusions in the Analysis…

SEND A DRAFT TO YOUR TUTOR for WRITTEN FEEDBACK

Bibliography – this shows the expertise you used to ‘theorise’ your work – arts based research (practitioners work e.g. performance, visual) not in word count

Appendices – supporting material - not in word count – put in blank your ethical consent forms here – make sure to put signed consent forms in a scanned document here or in a separate document.

Completing your Portfolio

This work is representing what you have done for the entire professional inquiry…

Add other activities – e.g. going to performances you have been a art of or have seen, workshops, training.

The idea is that you have done something during the inquiry that you can talk about as outcomes coming from your practice and/or workplace.

Paula’s explanation in pictures…

+ blogs, workplace evidence and networking, and peer/SIG conversations in all elements

Oral Presentation a celebration of what you have achieved – explain it well and illustrate

what you have done

• Rehearse what you want to say before the day and illustrate what you have done for your inquiry in your presentation – what is important to communicate? + be prepared for questions

• Don’t overload slides (ppt or prezi if you use these) with text – they are just talking points (note Paula has Pages but the uni does not – so also format as a powerpoint)

• A rule of thumb is 1 minute per slide – so no more than 15 slides (?)

• You can show a sample of your artefact – if it is a powerpoint – these are 2 distinct pieces for assessment

• You are presenting to peers and tutors – there is an element of formality – but you might also introduce informal elements - we have had people sing songs, do acting auditions and give the audience cookies…

Oral Presentation advice for the presentation

Note others from the course are also invited to attend…

Oral Presentation a celebration of what you have achieved
