EHR320 Work Integrated Learning Project (8)
Abstract|
This subject adopts the theoretical frameworks of problem based learning and action research. During their minimum of 140 hours of professional placement, students will design, implement and evaluate an action research project that has identifiable benefits for stakeholders in an industry/university partnership. This experience aims to assist students to fully participate as an emerging professional in the exercise science community, by investigating the operational requirements of the industry, assuming multiple roles and responsibilities, adopting ethical practice, and integrating their discipline, practical, interpersonal and reflective knowledge in authentic, real-world professional contexts. The subject provides opportunities for students to articulate their personal and professional suitability for employment in the exercise science and related fields of the profession. |
