• Supervised Online Quiz 1 (25%) will occur in week 5 on Friday 12th August, 2022 at 9.30 am. It will assess content from weeks 1-4 inclusive.

This supervised online quiz will consist of up to 45 questions (worth up to 60 marks) and will have a time limit of 90 minutes. The questions will be identical for all students, however they will be randomly generated from a question bank so that the quizzes may appear differently for each student. This quiz is a closed booked assessment, which must be completed at the scheduled time. It is recommended that a laptop be utilised for this assessment, however a tablet is permitted.

Supervised online quiz will consist of some or all of the following categories:

• Multiple choice questions
• True/ false questions
• Short answer questions
• Fill in the missing word(s) questions
• Questions relating to multimedia material (e.g. images, videos)

Refer to Moodle for further information and additional resources.

All questions will be marked numerically and an overall percentage mark awarded.

Late arrival to Assessment

You should aim to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the official assessment commencement time. In the extraordinary circumstance that you are late, you will be permitted late entry to your assessment of up to 10 minutes after the official commencement time. The period of lateness will be deducted from your overall assessment time. If you are denied access to the assessment due to lateness (i.e. arriving beyond the permitted late entry period), you should make an application for deferred assessment, which may or may not be approved in line with CQU policy. If the application for deferred assessment is denied, you will receive a grade of zero percent (0%) for the assessment item.

• Online Quiz 2 (40%) will occur in week 12 on Thursday 6th October, 2022 at 8am. It will assess content from weeks 1-11 inclusive.

This online written examination is in the format of an online quiz and will consist of up to 65 questions (worth up to 90 marks) and will have a time limit of 150 minutes.

There will be two hurdle assessments:

• Hurdle 1 (Attainment of a Satisfactory Grade for the Observational Placement): This unit includes up to four (4) hours of observational learning. This clinical observation placement is designed to give you the opportunity to observe children interacting in a non-clinical environment. The location of these observational placements will be in child-care centres, educational facilities, community-based events, non-profit organisation or similar. These observational placements will be scheduled outside regular timetabled sessions, which may include the mid-term break. All pre-clinical requirements must be completed prior to the observational clinical placement and attendance at the placement is mandatory. Following your observational placement, feedback will be provided by the supervising to the Clinical Educator Coordinator on the following constructs of physiotherapy practice: professional behaviour, communication and assessment (observation). A satisfactory grade for the observational placement is required in order to be eligible to PASS this unit. Results for this hurdle will be available once all clinical observational placements are completed and satisfactory performance is confirmed by the clinical educator coordinator.

• Hurdle 2 (Attendance): A minimum attendance rate of 85% for practical and tutorial sessions is required in order to be eligible to PASS this unit. This minimum attendance requirement is recommended by the Australian Physiotherapy Council and thus has been integrated as a requirement into the CB85 Physiotherapy course. If there is a genuine reason for being absent, you must inform the unit coordinator as soon as possible and submit a medical certificate or other supporting documentation via email within five days of missing the session. The monitoring of attendance will take into consideration legitimate requests for absence such as those outlined in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (5.21 and 5.22) (e.g. medical or allied health, compassionate, misadventure and exceptional circumstances). You will be notified by the unit coordinator when you reach the 85% threshold. If you require a prolonged absence (>3 sessions) for a health-related condition, you will be required to have a face-to-face discussion with the unit coordinator and Head of Course to discuss your progression in the unit. Attendance rates for this hurdle will be calculated in week 12.

Refer to Moodle for further information and additional resources.

Hurdle 1: Attainment of a satisfactory grade on your observational placement is required to PASS this hurdle. You must PASS this hurdle in order to be eligible to PASS the unit.

Hurdle 2: An attendance rate of 85% at practical and tutorial sessions is required to PASS this hurdle. You must PASS this hurdle in order to be eligible to PASS the unit.

The Practical Assessment will be in the format of an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) and is intended to assess your theoretical knowledge, practical application of assessment and treatment skills, and clinical reasoning. The OSCE will be scheduled for either week 1 or week 2 of the university's examination period. The weighting of the Practical Assessment is 35% of the overall unit grade with each scenario weighted equally. All content from PSIO12004 and prerequisite units is examinable in this assessment task.

The OSCE will include two clinical scenarios of children who each require physiotherapy assessment and/or treatment. One scenario will be assessment focused and one will be treatment focused, however both scenarios will require you to demonstrate comprehensive knowledge and clinical reasoning skills. Your OSCE will have a total time limit of 60 minutes (30 minutes preparation, 30 minutes examination). The examination will commence with 30 minutes of preparation time, at which point each scenario will be provided to you. You will then be allocated 15 minutes to complete each scenario. For each clinical scenario, you are expected to:

• Demonstrate appropriate clinical reasoning, that is evidence-based to guide assessment/intervention item selection and takes into consideration the age and condition of the paediatric patient.
• Demonstrate an understanding of neurosensory motor development and common paediatric conditions.
• Demonstrate effective communication and interaction with both the paediatric patient and their parent/guardian.
• Demonstrate an understanding of patient-centred, family-centred, strengths-based, culturally responsive practice embedded within paediatric frameworks such as the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.
• Demonstrate knowledge of age-appropriate assessment techniques (e.g. subjective examination, postural reactions, fine motor assessment, gross motor assessment, musculoskeletal assessment, sensory assessment, neurological assessment).
• Demonstrate knowledge of age-appropriate intervention techniques (e.g. facilitating transitions and appropriate positions, challenging limits of stability, improving neuro/sensory/fine motor/gross motor functioning).

You should be attired in your full clinical uniform and attend your corresponding CQUniversity campus at the allocated day and time for this OSCE. You will be using a doll to demonstrate assessment and intervention techniques.

A peer student/volunteer will play the role of the parent.

A timetable for the Practical Assessment will be published on Moodle at the end of week 12.

The assessment rubric for this task is based on the Physiotherapy Practice Thresholds in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. This quality framework is mapped against the CQUniversity Graduate Attributes and is intended to give a holistic understanding of standards expected for the assessment task. The rubric for this assessment will be based on the following categories and weightings:

• Safety and Risk Management (Pass/Fail)
• Professional Behaviour (Pass/Fail)
• Communication (20%)
• Analysis and Planning (30%)
• Practical application of intervention (50%)

Refer to Moodle for the assessment rubric.

Late Arrival to Assessment

You should aim to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the official assessment commencement time. In the extraordinary circumstance that you are late, you will be permitted late entry to your assessment of up to 10 minutes after the official commencement time. The period of lateness will be deducted from your overall assessment time. If you are denied access to the assessment due to lateness (i.e. arriving beyond the permitted late entry period), you should make an application for deferred assessment, which may or may not be approved in line with CQU policy. If the application for deferred assessment is denied, you will receive a grade of zero percent (0%) for the assessment item and will not be eligible for a re-sit but may be eligible for a supplementary assessment in line with CQU policy.
