PDP and curriculum design
However, most importantly there are implications for the curriculum, especially the kinds of assessment practices which are increasingly being used that facilitate the development of critical self-awareness. These include formative assessment; group (or team) work and projects; seminar presentations (self- and peer-assessed as well as tutor-assessed); independent group projects; learning diaries and logs; and development of student portfolios that are assessed both formatively and summatively.
Some of the above ideas are explored more thoroughly in the work of the Quality Assurance Agency on the Effective Learning Framework. See also:
