SPEECH 4006 - Speech Pathology Clinical Practice F

North Terrace Campus - Summer - 2024

The Speech Pathology Practice Education courses provide students with a broad range of practice placement experiences across seven separate placements commencing from Year 2, Semester 2 of the four-year program. These placements provide opportunities for students to develop relevant speech pathology knowledge and skills in a range of service provision contexts representing speech pathology practice across the lifespan, and to demonstrate the speech pathology practice competencies to the level required to enter the profession. This course is the fourth of seven practice education courses that students must complete, approximately 20 days in duration, and students? placement-based learning and assessment will be facilitated by a practice educator. Assessment for this course is comprised of the COMPASS? assessment, completed in the placement; and students? reflection and mapping of their knowledge, skills and attributes in their progressive Speech Pathology Professional Standards portfolio. In this capstone Practice Education course, students must demonstrate COMPASS? entry level, and across their practice education program (seven practice education courses), have demonstrated progressive competency development towards COMPASS? entry level in communication and swallowing practice across the lifespan. Additionally, in this capstone Practice Education course, a final practice-based simulation examination is completed to triangulate the `entry-level? practice education attainment of students, and to assure their readiness to enter the speech pathology profession.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
