On successful completion of this course students will be able to:

1. Apply discipline knowledge and capabilities and critical analysis of observed practice to develop innovative/creative and practical solutions to real world issues
2. Reflect on and provide a critical analysis of the application of discipline concepts and theories as they relate to the practice observed on tour
3. Recognise, interpret and explain the legal and ethical issues facing operators in this field
4. Communicate, both orally and in writing, in an academically and professionally appropriate manner.

A participative, experiential teaching and learning approach underpins this course, with significant emphasis on critical reflection.

This is a residential intensive format. Students will be focussed on learning experiences for at least 6 hours per day on average for approximately 10 working days.
Prior to the tour students will be required to attend a 3 hour workshop to prepare for the tour.
Some assessment work may be required upon return from the tour.

Students will engage in frequent group discussions to reflect on the observations, which may take the form of debates and argument. Students will be required to lead at least one session.
Students will be prepared for and debriefed on experiences using mini seminars and workshops format.
Explicit direction will be provided on what constitutes appropriate academic and professional literacies.

Assessment Task 1: Blog 5%
You are required to contribute to a blog published on the University website. A roster will be drawn up so that each person contributes. Your blog entry is to be emailed to staff on tour who will post it to the professions study tour blog. You can share the link with your family and friends at home so they can follow your progress.


The blog differs from the reflective journal in that the blog is more of a description of what you have been doing and how you are feeling and should be of interest to those following your journey. You may volunteer to make more than one blog entry if you feel excited and want to share more of your experiences with those at home. You can also post photographs to the blog. You should look at the blogs from past study tours at the above link to get ideas on what others have done in the past.

Assessment Task 2: Research & Presentation 20%
In teams of 4, you will be assigned organisations and places to research. Please write approximately one page on each. What you will write about depends on what you have been assigned. Things you may like to consider include but are not limited to: an overview of the organisation/place, its purpose, things of special interest, must do/must see list etc. Three days before our final meeting before we leave you are to email your work to robyn.davidson@adelaide.edu.au who will collate it and distribute it to the entire group. The purpose of this is to give everyone some background information into where we are going. At our final meeting before departure, in your group, you will present your findings to everyone.

Assessment Tasks 3, 4, 5: Participation, Quizzes & Reflection 25% for each segment - UK, France & Germany (75% in total)
Participation (approx. 8.5%)
For all activities you are expected to actively participate. Be on time, listen, ask questions, answer questions, join in group discussions etc. You will be allocated marks as judged by your supervisors at the end of each segment and verbal feedback will be given throughout the tour.

Quizzes (approx. 8%)
Throughout the study tour there may be short assessment pieces, including but not limited to multiple choice tests, short answer questions, and case studies. It is intended that you will be able to complete these at the conclusion of the relevant session. There will be no time to study for them. If you have been actively participating you will be prepared for the assessment. You will be notified at the beginning of the session if there is an assessment and the form it will take.

Reflective journal (approx. 8.5%)

At the end of each segment you should write a short piece (between 700 and 1,200 words) on your experience. Note that this is not a “Dear Diary, I did xxx and saw xxx” exercise. You should reflect in a deep and critical way. Consider the What? Describe the experience – what did you do? So what? Describe what difference it makes, what impact or meaning it has for you and why is it important; and Now what? What are you going to do to continue your professional development in light of this learning?

You should consider the following:
What?
1. Things (think of at least 3) I have learnt/discovered/saw that will benefit my future career.
2. Things I have learnt/discovered/saw that may not be so useful for my future career.
So what?
3. How well will the above translate into the Australian context, in particular South Australia and your future work context?
Now what?
4. Reflect on 3 to 4 aspects of your learning from these experiences. For instance, how can you build upon what you have learnt? Is there something you will do with your new knowledge to increase your job prospects?

Always write in the first person. E.g. I think… In my opinion… The following page gives a few suggestions for words and phrases that might be useful for prompting reflective writing.

Remember that this is an academic piece of work and if you refer to theories, research literature or polices (whatever), then they should still be referenced using the Harvard referencing (Author, Date) style.

Your submission should be made either electronically or may be neatly handwritten by the due time. It will be marked against the rubric provided and returned to you as soon as practical which is expected to be within two days.
