Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
The Learning and Teaching Strategy has been guided by the Curriculum 2021 Framework, Attributes, and Hallmarks, and as such, all module content will be informed by current and cutting-edge research in the relevant subject area(s). The module has been designed with a focus on global citizenship, by ensuring that students are given the opportunity to collaborate with their peers. This will enable students to build their confidence by sharing their own experiences, as well as helping them to understand how their learning might be applied to different healthcare settings and international contexts. The module will primarily be delivered through a series of e-lectures/seminars. These will cover key concepts and theories on strategic leadership and problem solving in a healthcare setting. Videos will cover topics such as implementing strategy from both a theoretical and practical perspective. Individual online tasks and discussion boards will be used to develop and apply learning wi thin the healthcare setting and the students’ own work contexts. These will be moderated by the module instructor to ensure individual and group feedback, and to foster skills in critical self-reflection. Students will also be directed to key academic and practitioner readings to further develop their learning. Unscheduled Directed Student Hours: 24 hours Description: The e-Lectures/Seminars will equate to 3 hours/week over 8 weeks undertaken asynchronously. Additionally, one scheduled synchronous seminar will be delivered. If there are issues with time zones another seminar will be provided. Peer discussion and questions will be encouraged. This session will be recorded and moderated by the module instructor. Scheduled Directed Student Hours: 2 hours. Description: The scheduled seminar will equate to 2 hours undertaken synchronously. The date and time of the seminar will be
confirmed at the start of the module. The scheduled seminar will enable all students access, in a peer setting, to a tutor led discussion. Ideas from individual students can be commented on and explored by others, demonstrating the value of multiple perspectives in team working. Self-directed learning hours: 124 hours Description: This will involve directed and independent reading, independent research into strategic planning and complex problem management. |
