The home stretch - Module 3

Completing your Portfolio

for the Professional Inquiry

This work for the professional inquiry includes your blogs and professional networking that you can use as evidence and to illustrate your thinking and learning journey…

ALSO it is useful to mention other related activities that have helped you to understand your topic/area – e.g. going to performances you have been a art of or have seen, workshops, training

The idea of the ‘portfolio’ is to relate your entire experience!

Critical Review

Professional Artefact

Oral Presentation

Module 3 Assessment will be in 3 main partsAll of the parts come from having done the professional inquiry as a portfolio of coursework…Part 1: The Critical Review – this is you explaining the inquiry for an ‘academic’ audienceIt 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?).

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

Part 3: The Oral Presentation an in person/ audio-visual demonstration A final summary that shows your progress and shares knowledge and understanding that is based on your ‘inquiry’

A few notes about completing your Critical Review

Critical Review - 4 main sections – other slideshares have talked about the first 3 sections

3. Analysis and Findings – completing this section to indicate what you found out from doing the inquiry + outcomes from using new knowledge and understanding about professional practice

4. Critical Reflection – the last section – what did you learn? In your own words – this module and connections to your learning journey

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

Oral Presentation a celebration of what you have achieved

Preparation for the oral presentation –graduates have left up examples of their work

• 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

A schedule will be sent out via email – we ask that everyone stays for a ‘slot’ in the am or pm (you can stay for both).

Note others from the course are also invited to attend…

Oral Presentation a celebration of what you have achieved

This time is for your to show off your achievements – so don’t forget the positive learning elements from your inquiry.
