Learning through work

Page history last edited by Norman Jackson 13 years, 7 months ago

CoLab provides a real world environment through which students can gain valuable learning, personal and professional development. SCEPTrE developed a number of frameworks to support the recognition of learning while students were working in CoLab.

 

In 2007-09 CoLab students used the Leraning through Experience Certificate.

In 2009-10 The Learning through Work Certificate was developed

The Learning through Work Certificate aims to provide university recognition for informal learning and personal development gained when students are involved in part-time or temporary fulltime (paid/unpaid) work which is not part of a Professional Training programme or necessarily related to their subject or programme of study. CoLab students participated in the pilot to trial and evaluate the procedures and supporting guidance.

 

To join the programme  a student must make a commitment through a learning agreement to evaluate and make explicit the learning, personal and professional development you gain through a minimum of 100 hours of work experience. There is no upper limit to the amount of experience that can be included.

 

In order to receive University recognition for learning and personal development the student must

1)      Complete a skills and experiences self-evaluation questionnaire and personal development plan

2)      Reflective diary or blog to record and make sense of experiences and the learning and personal development you are gaining from them

3)      Reflective account – to connect, synthesise and integrate the learning you have gained from their experience.

 

The Certificate is underpinned by a Capability and Values Statement.
