These two young men are participating in this assessment, practising the desired skills, understanding how the patient may feel and building communication strategies.
It seems like very detailed assessments! Are some of them linked to the course of praxis? I think many are formulated in a way that you need to be in a real setting to be able to show your knowledge and professionalism.
ReplyDeleteThis one we do in a simulated clinical environment to check that the students are safe to practice
DeleteAre the goals for the courses of practice taken from different subjects i yor school? Here different courses often containes some goals that you can only achieve in practice.
ReplyDeleteLooks good that the students learn what it feels like to be a patient. It is so different to do something on a patient and to have the treatment done to yourself.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Evalena that there is much value in the students learning how it feels to be a patient - vulnerable, dependent and often not well.
ReplyDeleteMarie I will try to answer your question, as Wendy and I work together. The way we do it in Nowra, the students have to demonstrate decent workplace skills to pass any Units (subjects). You can see the names of many of the Units at the beginning of Wendy's assessment. We have spent many hours deciding how to assess each Unit, and it is usually a combination of written work, practical tasks, holistic assessments like the one above, and their placement (Practical experience in an aged care facility). So yes, some of the goals/outcomes of the Unit can only be achieved in practice.
Do the supervisors in practice get education from the school/teachers in guiding the trainees and how to assess what the students have achieved?
ReplyDeleteIn assesing the students skills is it possible for a student to reach a high mark? Or is it only possible to reach the status of approved?
