In Online Test 1, you will demonstrate your understanding of concepts from weeks 1-4 and your ability to apply these concepts to given scenarios. All questions will be related to the posted weekly learning goals.

The number of marks for each question are allocated based on the depth and breadth of the required response and will be indicated on the test.

During the test you may not consult with any other person via any means or accept any input or assistance from any other person, group or artificial intelligence (AI) regarding the test questions and your responses. Colluding with other students on non-group work is considered academic misconduct. Any identified cases of potential collusion will result in a breach of academic integrity case being raised. Just as for written assignments, you must also acknowledge intellectual content in your answers that is not your own work. Basic statements of facts are considered 'common knowledge' in the context of this unit so they do not need to be cited. However, if you copy any content word-for-word from ANY source, you must put that content in quotation marks and formally cite your source.

This is an open-book assessment. It means that you may access your study notes, textbooks, the unit Moodle site and/or any website. However, the expectation is that you will be familiar with the unit content and concepts. You should not assume you will have time to look up the answer to every question.

It is your responsibility to log on to Moodle and complete the online test during the time it is available. There is no opportunity to apply a late penalty. In the absence of an approved extension, you cannot complete this test at a later time, and you will receive a mark of zero for the test if you have not completed it by the scheduled date and time. If you have an approved extension, you will be assigned a new test date and time as soon as possible after the original test date. It is your responsibility to ensure that you can attend at that new assigned date/time. Please see Section 5 of the University's Assessment Policy and Procedure for details regarding Assessment Management, specifically around assessment extension.

Connections to National Safety and Quality Health Services Standards:

This assessment task activity helps to ensure that you have the knowledge and skills to provide safe and effective care and to be an effective member of the healthcare team in compliance with the Australian Government’s National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards regarding:

• Partnering with Consumers (encouraging participation and collaboration in healthcare processes)

• correct use of terminology
• correct selection and application of core concepts to the specific content of the question
• clarity, correctness, relevance and completeness of the response in addressing the question that was asked
• critical thinking

Overview:

Reflection is a skill that enables you to consider an experience with the purpose of learning and growing from that experience. It is therefore a valuable skill for a health professional, and one that you will use throughout your studies and career. You will be asked to reflect regularly throughout this unit to support your learning.

For this assessment, you will reflect on a single experience you have had in life where you have experienced prejudice. This may be a recent experience or one from your childhood. It does not need to be health care or education related.

The reflection must include the following key aspects of a reflective cycle:

• Brief description of the experience
• Analysis and discussion of the experience (exploring contributing factors of people’s assumptions, biases and emotional responses, why those mattered and what consequences arose)
• Action Plan (addressing what you can take from this experience and from thinking through it and applying this to your role as a student health care professional to improve the quality of care you would provide to patients)

Submission requirements:

• The reflections must use the reflection template provided on the Unit Moodle site.
• The recommended word count is about 500-700 words.
• Submit each reflection as a pdf file.

This assessment task activity helps to ensure that you have the knowledge and skills to provide safe and effective care and to be an effective member of the healthcare team in compliance with the Australian Government’s National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards regarding:

• Partnering with Consumers (regarding actions related to treating patients with dignity and respect, sharing information with them, encouraging participation and collaboration in healthcare processes)
• Comprehensive Care (regarding actions related to the coordinated delivery of health care and the identification and management of risks to the patient)

Each reflection is assessed on:

• Completion of all aspects of a reflective cycle as included on the template provided in Moodle.
• Depth of exploration of the experience in the analysis.
• Relevance of analysis and action plan to the experience.
• Use of external sources to inform learning.
• Communication: clarity of expression, use of appropriate language and terminology.

A scoring rubric will be provided on the unit Moodle site.

Overview:

As future health professionals, it is vital that you develop the knowledge and skills to work effectively within the multidisciplinary healthcare team.

To prepare for this assessment you will use various learning resources to build your knowledge of attributes of effective teams, group dynamics and the contribution of the individual to the success of the team. You will also participate in structured group learning activities to practice teamwork skills. Through these activities you will produce multiple pieces of evidence (‘artefacts' and 'templates') that document your groupwork participation and your development of behavioural attributes that support effective teamwork. You will compile your artefacts into a learning portfolio.

This assessment task has two sides to it. The first is ‘assessment OF learning’ where you provide evidence of your ability to meet the learning outcomes associated with this task. The second is ‘assessment FOR learning’ where the activities you will undertake to complete the task will progress your learning, both about the official curriculum and about yourself.

The goals of this assessment task are for you to:

• apply core concepts from this unit to clinical contexts
• increase your awareness of what is required of health professionals in terms of contributing to effective teams that provide safe and effective healthcare
• build and apply attributes of effective team members to support achievement of the team’s learning objectives
• develop your awareness of the skills and knowledge that you have developed both within this unit and through various life experiences
• apply academic writing skills in organising and communicating your learning

Structured Group Activities:

You will sign up for and attend a pair of group sessions with peers. You will work with the same student group in both sessions. Each session is 2 hours in duration. Each will include a sequence of activities in both large and small groups, with each activity facilitated by a tutorial leader. You will complete pre-session learning activities (e.g. readings and activities) that will introduce topics and scenarios that will form the basis of group activities and discussions for each session. After each session you will summarise and reflect on your session experiences using templates to guide your writing.

To complete these learning activities to a satisfactory level, you will need to actively participate in both of your allocated sessions. If you do not attend or actively participate during both sessions, you put yourself at risk of not meeting the requirements of the assessment task and failing this assessment task.

If you are enrolled at the Mackay campus for this unit, your two (2) group sessions will take place on campus. Your first session is in Week 6 and your second is in Week 8. You will allocate to your timetabled session using your class registration app in MyCQU. You will need to ensure your availability for both sessions.

If you are enrolled in this unit in online mode for this unit, your two (2) group sessions will take place online via Zoom. For all online students, the first session is in Week 6 and the second session is in Week 8. You will allocate to your timetabled pair of sessions using your class registration app in MyCQU. You will need to ensure your availability for both sessions of the pair that you select.

If you are unable to attend either or both of your allocated timetabled sessions, you must contact the Unit Coordinator as soon as possible about your absence. You will be expected to attend (an) alternate session(s) if possible. If you are unable to attend any session and you provide documentation to show reasonable grounds for your absence, alternative arrangements will be made.

Building your portfolio:

A core part of your portfolio are the templates that you will complete before and after your group sessions.

In addition to the templates, you should also include artefacts related to your broader learning and living experiences that address each of the following topics:

• A life experience where you demonstrated professional attributes
• A life experience where you demonstrated collaboration and teamwork
• A life experience where you demonstrated culturally safe and respectful practice in response to patient diversity (e.g. race, religion, disability, age, gender, socioeconomic status).

For each artefact that you include, you will provide an explanation of what you learned from the associated experience and how that learning relates to the selected topic. Note that the goal is not to maximise the number of artefacts but to illustrate your learning effectively through selection and discussion of a reasonable number of artefacts.

Format of the portfolio:

You will organise your collection of templates and artefacts using a Word-document that will be provided in the unit. The structure of the portfolio will be standardised to enable you to focus on content rather than appearances.

Instructions will be provided in Moodle on how to upload templates and artefacts, and how to submit your portfolio.

Connections to National Safety and Quality Health Services Standards:

This assessment task helps you to develop the knowledge and skills to provide safe and effective care and to be an effective member of the healthcare team in compliance with the Australian Government’s National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards regarding:

• Clinical Governance (regarding actions related to the role of leaders and others in safety and quality and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health)
• Partnering with Consumers (regarding actions related to treating patients with dignity and respect, sharing information with them, encouraging participation and collaboration in healthcare processes)
• Comprehensive Care (regarding actions related to the coordinated delivery of health care and the identification and management of risks to the patient)

Your portfolio is assessed on:

• Completeness of the portfolio relative to posted requirements
• Correctness, completeness and relevance of responses in the structured activity templates
• Relevance, appropriateness and scope of selected artefacts
• Degree to which learning in each core topic is demonstrated through discussion of artefacts
• Depth and relevance of reflections on experiences
• Use of external sources to inform learning
• Communication and academic writing
