Module: 7MG009

Credits: 30

Period: 1

Type: Core

Locations: Wolverhampton City Campus

This module aims to provide you with an educational forum in which you can examine your own experience of work and take the necessary action based on reflection. The aims of the module will be met when you examine and reflect on your own experience, derive the appropriate theory and then develop action related to both the demands of work and the programme of study. These will be met more fully when you understand the concept of critical reflective practice in relation to action learning and experiential/action learning. The module requires you to reflect critically on theory and practice from an ethical and professional standpoint, explore the implications for professional practice, and ultimately provides opportunities for applied learning and continuous professional development. This module supports the concept of Continuous Professional Development, and you will be expected to keep a CPD reflective learning journal. The purpose of this will be to provide further evidence of self-managed personal improvement and development specifically resulting, from reflection and learning from your work and professional experience.
