| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | 1. Keeping a professional development diary. 2. Final essay on the experience in the professional development group, based on self-reflection from the professional development diary. In order to evaluate the quality of the study course as a whole, the student must fill out the study course evaluation questionnaire on the Student Portal. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | 1. Participation in professional development group classes, according to the RSU student regulations, is mandatory. If the student cannot attend one of the classes for any valid reason, the student must contact the teacher of the group class and agree on a way to make up for the missed class. 2. During the entire study course, the student's task is to record his experience gained in professional development group classes in his personal professional development diary. The diary is not graded, but it is an important support for the student to successfully write the final essay. 3. The final essay on the experience in the professional development group is evaluated according to the evaluation criteria: 1) the essay includes an overview of the tasks chosen in the professional development group, descriptively including answers to the questions: What tasks were included in the group lessons? According to the student, what was the purpose of these exercises? For which groups of patients/clients and for what purpose could these tasks be applied? How could these tasks be modified to achieve a goal with another group of patients/clients? 2) the essay includes a description of the student's experience/self-reflection on what he experienced in group lessons, descriptively including answers to the questions: What art therapy techniques in different specializations were used in group lessons? What art therapy techniques from another specialty could I use/integrate into my work while working in my specialty? How did I feel/experience different art therapy techniques? How will getting to know and experience art therapy techniques of different specializations benefit me in my personal and professional growth? 3) the essay includes the student's self-reflection on what he experienced in group lessons, descriptively including answers to the questions: How did I experience working in a group? What did I learn about the specifics of working in a group? What therapeutic processes did I notice while working in the group class? How will the group experience benefit my personal and professional growth? 4) the essay includes the student's self-reflection on what he experienced in the group lessons, descriptively including answers to the questions: How will the experience in the group lessons in general be useful for my personal and professional growth? What emotions, feelings, sensations, thoughts arose in me during and after the group lessons? What revelations, surprises did I experience in group lessons? What difficulties did I face in group lessons? 5) the essay has an integrated theoretical basis (what was experienced in the group lessons and what is described in the essay must be substantiated with references from the literature (scientific studies, books, etc. appropriate sources)). It is possible to get 0 - 4 points for each criterion. 20 points = 10 19 points = 9 18 points = 8 17 points = 7 16 points = 6 14-15 points = 5 12-13 points = 4 up to 11 points = not counted | ||||||||
