Module summary

This module introduces ideas concerning self-leadership through personal development planning (PDP) activities and peer supported learning. Students work on personal target setting, self-review and reflection to examine issues of concern to themselves and to various communities.
Self-leadership as a basic and pivotal component of leadership is introduced and various aspects of it are explored throughout the year. Specific attention is given to authentic leadership and equality, diversity and the development of inter-personal skills that support the learning process in group contexts. This includes opportunity for students to reflect upon the ways in which adults develop and work together for common aims. Students are encouraged to identify ways in which self-leadership strengthens community work and can promote individual learning and reflection.

Balance of independent study and scheduled teaching activity

The module teaching and learning is based on weekly 3 hour lectures and interactive seminars and workshop sessions supplemented by on-line activity. This will include a variety of delivery styles based around small group and individual activities.

Theoretical input will be through lectures followed up in seminars. There is a significant emphasis on PDP on this module and various self-assessment exercises revolve around PDP issues and students have the opportunity to reflect on their PDP.

The face-to-face teaching pattern comprises a one hour lecture/presentation and a two hour workshop weekly. In addition students will be expected to undertake regular private study, including weekly practical tasks related to the workshops, to a total of 210 hours per year.

On-line activity will include access to module materials and multi-media with links to ethnographic, community based and other research resources, e.g. online reading and research and analysis activities in preparation for class discussions.

Students will benefit from a blended learning approach through the use of Weblearn for online and ongoing access to lecture notes, additional materials including articles and research reports, links to E-books.

There will be opportunities for students to engage on informal peer review and evaluation to enhance their work. Ongoing reflection on student learning will be part of the teaching and learning strategy for the module.

Assessment strategy

This module is chosen to be the first year PISO module for Leadership and Community Development course where there will be a formative assessment on week 3.

The first summative assessment is a podcast for 15 minutes, which will be submitted on week 14. It is based on an independent piece of research on how to set up a community initiative to tackle a local issue in the community.

The final assignment provides an opportunity for the student to review their development across a range of learning activities to date and to realise their specific area of interest within the field of community development. It will be a reflective account on learning from various aspects of the module and students’ reflective journey through this learning. The final assignment will be 2400 words.
