This subject, SPH514, is the first in a stream of four reflective practice subjects (SPH524, SPH534, SPH544). It introduces you to clinical reflection and reasoning, including goal-setting, which will be utilised throughout other subjects in the course and your future professional practice. The subject includes an introduction to models of learning and frameworks for reflective practice. The subject also introduces professional and ethical frameworks that guide practice such as the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, the Competency-Based Occupational Standards of Speech Pathology Australia and the Code of Ethics of the profession.
In this subject you will be required to demonstrate ongoing reflection on yourselves as language learners and users, your knowledge, skills and experiences, identify goals for your personal learning. You will engage with personal reflections of speech pathologists as well as policy documents to enhance your understanding of the professional scope of practice.
You will undertake online training to prepare for future workplace learning experiences, and participate in a range of online learning experiences that offer the opportunity for you to share your ideas and knowledge and learn from others in interactive activities including completing structured discussion threads/topics, independent study, blog entries and reading/responding to others' blogs.
To demonstrate mastery of these learning outcomes and learning experiences you will develop and maintain a reflective blog that demonstrates your understanding of the role of language and learning in your own practice and the role that language and learning have in communicative competence. You will also create a video outlining the role of speech pathologists in order to demonstrate your knowledge of the scope of practice and frameworks influencing the profession.
You will use the CSU Learning Management System, Interact2, an e-portfolio tool (Pebblepad), and other online and audio-visual technologies to engage in learning activities with your peers and to complete assessment tasks.
