Graham, Jennifer; Westwood, Jenny; Foster, Monika

Abstract

Activity - Providing students with structured opportunities to self-assess a
range of their current skills and attributes and to identify ones that they need
to further develop. These will form the basis of their development planning. In
other words: Where am I now? Where do I want to be? How do I get there?
Group - Any student at Napier University can choose the Personal and
Professional Development Planning (PPDP) module as an elective or as a
prescribed option on several programmes.
Aim - To introduce and develop the concept of reflective practice to inform
personal and professional development.
Context / Background - The PPDP module is seen as one way of helping
students to take responsibility for their own learning, self-evaluate, develop
and practice critical reflective skills and to action plan for their future personal
and professional development.
