Please note that staff will respond to assessment related queries on the forum up until 2 working days prior to the due date, but not after this time.

Unit rationale, description and aim: This interprofessional unit introduces allied health students to psychological theories and constructs that are crucial to working within the allied health professions. Students receive an overview of contemporary perspectives in psychology along with an understanding of the alignment of psychological principles with the allied health professions. Students will cover learning theory, memory and intelligence, motivation and emotion, personality, and health psychology. Additionally, students in this unit will be introduced to the framework and context of interprofessional practice. Understanding of how psychological theories apply to the individual and the importance of working interprofessionally are crucial as this knowledge is required by allied health students when undertaking professional practice placements and across their professional career.

-

Ax task 1: Reduction from two quizzes to one

-

Ax task 2 short answer instead of essay

-

Continuation from 2020 of final exam running online via LEO

-

Frequently Asked Questions document

-

Adjust application scenarios to further demonstrate application to each discipline

-

Compilation of a key terms document to assist students with locating and understanding key concepts

SELT surveys are usually conducted at the end of the teaching period. Your practical and constructive feedback is valuable to improve the quality of the unit. Please ensure you complete the SELT survey for the unit. You can also provide feedback at other times to the unit lecturers, course coordinators and/or through student representatives.

LEARNING AND TEACHING STRATEGY AND RATIONALE This unit utilises blended learning with a combination of lectures and face to face tutorials. The blended format allows for the online provision of lecture and resource material focusing on key psychology constructs and the application of these constructs to the field of allied health. Case based scenarios are used to assist the student to understand how key psychological principles apply to the field of allied health. Additionally, students are introduced to interprofessional education and the capabilities underlying interprofessional practice. Tutorials are face to face and comprise small group activities designed for students to engage in interprofessional discussion. Students are encouraged to utilise experiential learning and constructivism to develop their knowledge; exploring

Version: 2021 V1

the application of psychological principles and the elements of interprofessional practice to allied health. LECTURE CAPTURE: The psychology lectures are available under each week’s LEO tab. The application lectures will be recorded and available via the Echo360 tab on the unit homepage.

SCHEDULE: Blended Learning: This unit is a taught utilising a Blended Learning approach. Blended learning refers to a unit that combines both online media with traditional face to face teaching. This unit comprises of: •

1 hour psychology specific content which is a pre-recorded lecture presented in an online ‘lesson’. This material will be delivered by a psychologist.

•

1 hour application lecture (live online OR pre-recorded). This lecture will be delivered by allied health staff

•

2 hour tutorial per week (F2F as per state COVID-19 regulations)

It is expected that students will have watched the psychology lecture before the allied health lecture as the allied health lecture will be looking at how the psychology material applies to your future work in allied health. It is also expected that students have viewed both lectures prior to attending their tutorial. Note: ALHT106 is a national unit which means that the cohort comprises students from Ballarat, Melbourne, North Sydney and Brisbane. The allied health lecture is on a Monday and tutes are on various days of the week. Monday March 8 is the Melbourne Labour Day public holiday, Monday April 26 is Anzac Day public holiday (Bne only) and Monday May 3 is the Brisbane Labour Day public holiday. Application lectures in these weeks will be pre-recorded.

In Melbourne the Monday tute is impacted by Labour Day. For that weeks tute will be rescheduled. Additionally, the unit is impacted by Good Friday. The tutorials that run on a Friday (Melbourne x 1 NSW x 2) will be rescheduled. This information will be provided to those students affected via email or in class.
