Assessment task 2

Assignment 2 is designed to allow you to link education theory to practice by designing an

effective learning session (1- hour duration) in your area of practice.

To complete this assignment, you are required to complete the following:

1. An ePortfolio – this needs to consist of two resources (no word limit applied, and the
resources should be submitted as appendices):

a) Use the provided template to design a one-hour lesson plan with learning activities that
enable students to achieve a set of learning outcomes; one of the learning outcomes must
demonstrate critical decision-making skills;

b) Provide one further resource of your selection, for example, a PowerPoint presentation that
would be utilised in part of the lesson or a checklist for a particular clinical procedure to be
taught

2. Prepare a 2250 –words critique related to the constructively aligned lesson plan and learning
activities (and resources), which must include strategies to encourage critical thinking and
reflective practice in your learners. Your discussion paper should clearly articulate the
rationale for the learning activity; explain how the lesson plan/learning activities will lead
to the achievement of student learning outcomes and how the learning outcomes have been
met. Consideration of diverse student participants, the role of the facilitator/educator and
the resources needed for the session should also be discussed. Your critique should be
supported by the use of contemporary and relevant literature.

This assignment requires you to develop and critique a constructively aligned lesson plan and
learning activities, which must include strategies to encourage critical thinking and reflective
practice in their students.

Purpose: As an educator, you are expected to be clear about what you want your learners to learn
and what your learners have to do in order to demonstrate that they have learned at the
appropriate level (in other words have a clear ‘roadmap’). You are also expected to have
knowledge about how to provide guidance to the learner, and how you can best enact guiding the
learner to learn effectively at the desired cognitive level. This assignment gives you the
opportunity to link education theory with practice by designing an effective learning activity, (1
hour duration) for your own area of practice. To assist you with this you will use a lesson plan
template.

A lesson plan is a document that is used by the educator to not only guide (the roadmap!) the
development of the learning activity, but also assists in considering all aspects/variables and
what will be needed to ensure a successful session. For example, this includes, learner
considerations (who are they what prior knowledge do they have), timing, where and physical
environment. Details included in a lesson plan vary depending on the activity, however usually
include subject being covered, goals, objectives (what the student will learn), teaching
strategies/activities (the method/procedure to assist the student to meet the L/O), content
headings to be covered (and how long is required for each section), what material / resources will
be needed, and how you plan to measure if the L/O have been achieved, and the feedback loop of
evaluation of the session/program.

As this assessment includes a portfolio (with two items) – the lesson plan (you can download
from the HLSC609 LEO site and adapt to suit your needs), will be one of these resources. The
other can be any resource that you choose to develop for the program, such as digital learning
resources, or the evaluation tool you develop.
