--------- Keep blogging and journal evidence form your workplace --------

5. Part 1: The Critical Review – this is you explaining the inquiry for an ‘academic’
audience It is primarily written but can contain visual or audio visual elements
showing the process of investigating a topic (practitioner research) with analysis that
has implications or impact for your practice (any outcomes?). (12th
May)
Part 2: The Professional Artefact – this is you explaining the inquiry to a
professional audience or community of practice – it can incorporate
products/services/outcomes that have come about as a part of the inquiry it
can be a document, an event, or an activity (be creative if it is for creative
professionals) - it can illustrate to others in your community of practice or workplace
- the artefact should emerge from the inquiry and incorporate your ‘findings’ – you are
communicating – you might choose to stress certain findings (12th
May)
Part 3: The Oral Presentation demonstration/presentation (19th
or 20th
May)
A final summary that shows your progress and shares knowledge and understanding
that is based on your ‘inquiry’. Generally in person but can do Skype if away working.
BUILT into the above - you have your blogs, peer conversations in special
interest groups and journal extracts – ADD THESE TO YOUR Portfolio in the
Evaluation Critical Reflection and appendices
Module 3 Assessment portfolio

6. repeated questions from March 2017…
• Do I use the headings for writing (report style) in the
Critical Review?
– Yes the headings will help from the Critical review – you can add
other subheadings as well – like Literature, or the themes from
the findings in the analysis section
4 main Headings (see Handbook for details)
– Introduction, Evaluation of the Inquiry Process, Analysis of the
Findings - data, literature and experience, Critical Reflection
– Title Page
– Introduction – 500 words Context and questions
– Evaluation of the Inquiry Process – 2500 words Literature and Tools
– Analysis of the Findings – 2500 words Conclusions and Recommendations
– Critical Reflection – 500 words
– Bibliography and Appendices
• What about examples of the artefact?
– Look at Reader 7 – and examples on blogs that people have
done previously on the programme

7. Harvard Referencing
From the IWBL Referencing Guide (2013)
• You must provide a reference in two cases:
• - When you use someone else’s exact words. In this case you will put the quotation in
inverted commas, insert an in-text quotation with the exact page (see below) which
will match the item on the reference list at the end of the work.
• - When you paraphrase someone else’s ideas. In this case no direct quotation is
necessary but you will still need to insert an in-text quotation. You might or might not
reference to exact pages according to the circumstances. For instance, if you only
refer to the general contribution of a book in its field you don’t need a precise page
reference. However, if you are paraphrasing something more detailed which is to be
found on a precise page, you must reference it.

8. Completing your Critical Review
Critical Review - 4 main sections
3. Analysis and Findings – already started? Conclusions and Recommendations – so
what does the inquiry mean? Any implications/impact in your professional practice?
how was your professional practice affected ( if space allows - why you chose the
artefact you did – remember you can also submit an A4 sheet with explanation).
4. Critical Reflection – the last section – what did you learn from your study
This is thinking about Module 3 but also summing up your achievements from the
whole course. What knowledge have you gained – how have you applied your
learning? Add the personal to the professional conclusions in the Analysis…
SEND A DRAFT TO YOUR TUTOR for WRITTEN FEEDBACK
Bibliography – this shows the expertise you used to ‘theorise’ your work – arts
based research (practitioners work e.g. performance, visual) not in word count
Appendices – supporting material - not in word count – put in blank your ethical
consent forms here – make sure to put signed consent forms in a scanned document
here or in a separate document.

9. Completing your Portfolio
This work is representing what you have done for the
entire professional inquiry…
Add other activities – e.g. going to performances you have
been a art of or have seen, workshops, training.
The idea is that you have done something during the
inquiry that you can talk about as outcomes coming from
your practice and/or workplace.

10. Paula’s explanation in pictures…
+ blogs, workplace evidence and networking, and peer/SIG conversations in all elements

28. Oral Presentation
a celebration of what you have achieved – explain it well and illustrate
what you have done

29. • Rehearse what you want to say before the day and illustrate what
you have done for your inquiry in your presentation – what is
important to communicate? + be prepared for questions
• Don’t overload slides (ppt or prezi if you use these) with text – they
are just talking points (note Paula has Pages but the uni does not – so
also format as a powerpoint)
• A rule of thumb is 1 minute per slide – so no more than 15 slides (?)
• You can show a sample of your artefact – if it is a powerpoint –
these are 2 distinct pieces for assessment
• You are presenting to peers and tutors – there is an element of
formality – but you might also introduce informal elements - we
have had people sing songs, do acting auditions and give the
audience cookies…
Oral Presentation
