Overview
Adhering to policies mandated by ESSA, this unit provides you with an opportunity to undertake a minimum of 140 hours at an external sport and/or exercise science practicum site. The focus of this practicum is health or performance amelioration and not the treatment and/or management of a clinical condition or injury. Engaging in this unit will expose you to the scope of practice of an Exercise Scientist.
This unit is the first of three WIL opportunities you will engage in to fulfill the practicum requirements necessary to be an AEP.
Practicum units are distinctive from other course offerings in that there is a deal of preparation needed and a number of formal requirements that must be completed in order to allow you to complete your placement. Practicum expectations and obligations are detailed in the Unit Information Document available on the SES Community Canvas site.
This is a designated unit which is essential to your course progression. Designated units include professional experience units, units requiring the development of particular skills, and units requiring demonstration of certain personal qualities. If you fail to achieve a satisfactory level of performance in a designated unit, you may be excluded from enrolment or will be put on academic probation. If you fail a designated unit twice within your course, you may be excluded. Supplementary assessment is not available on designated units.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Apply sport and/or exercise science knowledge and understandings; demonstrating satisfactory technical skills and competence in practical situations as appropriate to the placement context
- Exhibit a range of ‘soft’ skills, including interpersonal communication, to perform independently or collaboratively and facilitate effective engagement in diverse settings
- Understand, respect and practice in accordance with, the ESSA Code of Professional Conduct and Ethical Practice
- Engage in reflective practice, planning and action for ongoing learning
Content
ESSA stipulates that you must complete a minimum 140 hours of placement during the Sport and Exercise Science Practicum. At least 80 of these hours must be related to exercise assessment, prescription and delivery, whilst the remaining hours may be in any area that reflects the Exercise Science standards. Some examples of these areas include: coaching, sports first aid or trainer, match/performance analysis, haematology/biochemistry, etc.
It should be noted that you can complete all your practicum hours in exercise assessment, prescription and delivery or a combination of exercise assessment, prescription and delivery hours and the 'other' aforementioned activities.
Typically, you will attend settings such as gymnasiums, sporting clubs or schools. You have a degree of autonomy with your site selection to accommodate your professional and personal needs. In some instances, you will have the opportunity to apply for placements with elite level sporting organisations.
During your placement you will have the opportunity to observe, have face to face client contact and attend to administrative processes. Additionally, you will have scope to develop your 'soft' skills which encompass capabilities such as leadership, communication, teamwork, problem solving, adaptability, etc.
The Exercise Sciences Practicum Lead and Health Work Integrated Learning Support Team (WILS) play an integral role in the preparation and implementation of the practicum program. Consequently, you will be expected to be attuned to the information disseminated by them across a variety of platforms and engage fully when requested.
Learning Approaches
Practicum affords you the opportunity to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical application in professional work environments. Adopting a professional mindset is critical to your development whilst on placement. Such a mindset requires you to not only demonstrate suitable knowledge, understandings and skills, but to also be a critical and discerning learner and accept that feedback is imperative for your growth as a skilled and reflective professional.
Note: Students may only enrol in this unit in the Summer Semester with Course Coordinator permission
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
Feedback to Students
Supervisors will be expected to provide you with regular, considered and informative feedback. Formal feedback will be provided via the Midpoint Self-Evaluation and Endpoint Supervisor Evaluation tools. It would be expected that if you are at 'risk of failing' your placement, you would have received explicit feedback during the collaborative completion of your midpoint self-evaluation and been provided with specific strategies to improve .
Relative to assessment tasks associated with practicum, you will receive timely feedback from assessors and be given opportunities to modify responses in the event that you do not attain a grading of 'satisfactory'.
Assessment
Overview
General Assessment Information
The assessment component of the course is through a:
- Midpoint student self-evaluation
- Endpoint supervisor evaluation
- Record of Student Engagement; and
- Practicum Logbook
All tasks are assessed as either being satisfactory or unsatisfactory. Students will need to receive a grading of satisfactory for all the assessment items listed above in order to pass the unit.
Unit Grading Scheme
S (Satisfactory) / U (Unsatisfactory)
Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Practicum Performance Evaluation
At the midpoint of your practicum, you will complete a self-evaluation with mandatory input from your supervisor. You will receive explicit feedback on your performance and be provided with specific strategies to address areas that need improvement. Your supervisor will complete an online evaluation of your performance against a set of criteria at the end of the practicum. It is expected that you and your supervisor will have an opportunity to discuss your results in depth.
Assessment: Record of Student Engagement
The Record of Student Engagement details the total amount of practicum hours and nature of the activities undertaken. Additionally, it requires you to reflect on how your practicum enhanced your professional capacities as an exercise scientist.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Assessment: Practicum Logbook
The practicum logbook will enable students to record the activities undertaken while on placement and the time devoted to them.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
