Document analysis (objective 2a)
The purpose of this objective is to determine the curriculum alignment using document analysis as a method. The process I will be following is:
Gather all relevant information from department stakeholders:
Module descriptors (contains learning outcomes, assessment methods, credit values, basic content overview, teaching methods)
Assessment tasks (assignments, test papers, exam papers, practical worksheets)
Course readers (layout, headings, page numbers, content covered)
HPCSA policy on professional outcomes
UWC graduate attribute policy
UWC assessment policy
SASP policy
HEQF exit level outcomes
Determine if our departmental objectives / outlines (i.e. our curriculum) is aligned with our professional objectives / outcomes
Design 2 data capture forms:
Policies that should inform the curriculum
Determine if curriculum is actually based on policy (Is it possible to use the new module descriptor template as the data capture sheet, or is it too detailed? What information am I looking to capture?)
Pilot the forms using external documentation
Determine if modules are constructively aligned
Identify a set of modules that are appropriate to be adapted to a blended approach
The set of modules that is the outcome of this objective will be used as a starting point for the Delphi study that will seek to determine the most appropriate module to be developed.
