Overview
Module aims and purpose
The personal project encourages the programme member to identify themes of personal development as a coach/behaviour change practitioner, over the duration of the Masters programme. Programme members will draw on a range of sources of evidence upon which they can reflect in their final write-up. Sources of evidence are likely to include their learning log, feedback from external sources and more formal personal reflections (such as in previous assignments). The overall intention is that the personal project provides the opportunity for programme members to reflect on their own personal development as a coach/behaviour change practitioner. This includes identifying strengths as a coach/behaviour change practitioner including competencies, values and capabilities and why/how these are important for effective and ethical coaching. Engaging in the personal project will also encourage the programme member to identify ongoing areas of development and provide a plan as to how these will be addressed.
Module learning outcomes
By the end of the module, it is expected that the student will be able to:
1. Personal Development: Programme members will demonstrate self-awareness as an independent, reflective and self-critical learner in a wide range of learning contexts and be able to apply learning to new situations
2. Personal Development: Programme members will understand the nature and process of personal development and recognise the value of personal development
3. Critical Reflection: Programme members will be able to effectively synthesize theory and research with their reflective examples to illustrate their understanding of how theory and research applies to their own practice
4. Coaching Skills: Programme members will demonstrate the importance of both values and capabilities for effective and ethical coaching
5. Coaching Skills: Programme members will develop a strategic, holistic and integrated coaching perspective
Module content
The topic/themes for the personal project will be selected by the programme member, with assistance from tutors on the programme. Coaching input from other programme members will also contribute to the clarification and development of the project. Guidelines will be supplied with the course materials. The personal learning log, which is kept throughout the programme, will form a core element of the project.
Structure
Teaching and learning methods
Input and guidance will be given at intervals throughout the programme, during the workshops. Written guidelines for selecting and scoping the personal project, and writing it up in a reflective style, will be supplied with the programme materials. The student will learn from reflecting upon their own experiences, and gathering feedback from those they have been working with. They will be encouraged to think about their own evidence procedure for understanding the impact they have on others and about their success criteria for their practice.
Study hours
At least 0 hours of scheduled teaching and learning activities will be delivered in person, with the remaining hours for scheduled and self-scheduled teaching and learning activities delivered either in person or online.
