Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 1:
Discussions reflect a clear understanding of the major systemic factors that affect the cultural, socio-political, economic and health of the broader South African population and include in-depth interrogation of the various approaches required for the diversity encountered within the various South African populations.
Range of Diversity includes, but is not limited to, aspects as gender, sexual orientation, social standing, socio-economic status, religious belief, political affiliation, physical disabilities or abnormalities.
Presentations reflect the appropriate application of the relevant concepts, methods, ethics, theories and analytical processes in therapeutic group work.
Written work on therapeutic group work displays critical analyses and a degree of intellectual independence, as well as insight into the context of trauma, theoretical constructs and methods of intervention.
Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 2:
Current literature and research are accessed, analysed, organised and evaluated systematically in the chosen focus area.
Evaluations demonstrate clear evidence of effective application of the principles of research practice in the chosen focus area.
Conclusions and recommendations are justified by the use of appropriate evidence and arguments.
Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 3:
The research inquiry is planned and conducted on the basis of a range of appropriate research designs, methods, techniques and technologies for the specific research problem.
Research themes are appropriately identified and demarcated.
Analyses of the research themes include a comprehensive and critical review of current literature and investigations.
Selected research methods, techniques and technologies show evidence of a clear understanding of relevant research theory and practice.
Research reports critically and coherently describe theoretical arguments, the research process, methodology, results, conclusions and recommendations.
Research reports display skill in extrapolating key findings, justifiable conclusions and making feasible recommendations.
Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 4:
Motivations of own position to specific debates are based on sound integration of relevant theory, practice, research and independent, creative thinking.
Discussions demonstrate an understanding of one's position and its feasibility about major debates.
Written and oral formats clearly and cogently communicate explanations of their own position.
Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 5:
Analyses of the problems and issues, including trauma management, post trauma stress and related disorders, reflect a purposeful and critical application of advanced theory, current knowledge and expertise in therapeutic group work.
Interventions and recommendations reflect purposeful and creative plans to seek solutions based on theory and proven methods applied in therapeutic group work.
Discussions and interventions reflect the advanced application of appropriate skills, strategies and techniques following corresponding theoretical assumptions in therapeutic group work.
Research and interventions include the appropriate and creative use of various techniques, including psychodrama, and data relevant to therapeutic group work.
Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 6:
Evaluations comprehensively describe outcomes of interventions, techniques, strategies or processes about the stated goals and following corresponding theoretical assumptions.
Evaluations critically analyse outcomes following the identified needs and issues within the chosen focus area.
Evaluations are purposefully used as the basis for planning, implementing and making recommendations.
Integrated Assessment:
Integrated assessment criteria and methods are designed to capture student capability/applied competence. Multiple and continuous assessment methods will be used, enabling students to demonstrate the integration of practical, foundational and reflexive competencies. A holistic inference will thus be made by an assessor(s) based on a variety of performances including integrated tasks such as planning, implementing and evaluation of intervention and presenting and writing up of such intervention to peer group.
Assessment will be both formative and summative through the use of:
i. Course assignments.
ii. Portfolio development and keeping of student logs.
iii. Seminar preparation and presentation.
iv. Demonstration of advanced group work skills.
v. Written and/or oral examinations or tests.
vi. A research proposal.
vii. Mini-dissertation. |
