Reflecting current concerns in health and social care to bring theory and practice closer together, this is a comprehensive guide to integrating assessment, learning and practice. The authors - an academic, a training officer and a practitioner - present complementary perspectives on the problem. They argue that a holistic approach to learning can fit with a competancy approach to assessment, promoting both efficency and creativity in evidence-based professional practice. They demonstrate how their combined assessment and learning tool, the ''signposted portfolio'' (which forms both a summary of what the social work student or health care practitioner has learnt and the foundation of a potential assessment report) can work in practice.
Part One: Learning and Assessment. 1. The relationship between learning and assessment: Is the tail wagging the dog? 2. Principles of assessment in professional education: does the hand fit the glove? 3. Experiences of the Signposted Portfolio: A sign for the better? Part Two: The Signposted Portfolio. 1. Introduction. 2. Planning. 3. The early stage. 4. The Work phase. 5. Processes. 6. Endings. 7. Evaluation. 8. Power and oppression. 9. Other perspectives. Part Three: Other Signposts. References, Index.
The volume marks a fruitful collaboration between two authorities on practice learning. Doel and Sawdon, and Morrison, who provides her portfolio for a post-qualifying award as an example.
