Unit 3: Theories, Principles and Models in Education and Training

Academic Integrity (Note to avoid Plagiarism)

 

Academic integrity is a fundamental expectation for all college/university students and while it is acknowledged that mitigating circumstances might be raised as factors in student behaviour, cheating cannot be disregarded. GBS definition of plagiarism, as contained in GBS Academic Good Practice and Academic Misconduct Policy and Procedure, has been expanded to make explicit that copying from texts or web sources and copying work from other students constitutes plagiarism. Explain how theories, principles, and learning models can be used to promote teaching and learning

“Plagiarism is the act of taking or copying someone else’s work, including another student’s, and presenting it as if it were your own. Plagiarism is said to occur when ideas, texts, theories, data, created artistic artefacts or other material are presented without acknowledgement so that the person considering this work is given the impression that what they have before them is the student’s own original work when it is not. Plagiarism also occurs where a student’s own work is re-presented without being properly referenced. Plagiarism is a form of cheating and is a disciplinary offence.”

Plagiarism is easy to avoid by making sure you reference all of the sources of material that you use in the completion of your work. Pearson has developed Guidelines on Harvard Referencing which are available in Academic Support Area for Students on Moodle (VLE) as well as on respective unit pages.

If you are concerned about referencing techniques, please draw the matter to your Unit Lecturer or Academic Support Team on academicsupport@globalbanking.ac.uk so that you may receive extra advice.

Group coursework may be designed so that the contribution of each student is identifiable, but inclusion of plagiarised material is still the responsibility of the whole group. All members of the group should exercise vigilance to ensure that work is properly referenced; in groupwork, students have a shared responsibility for the assignment.

OFSTED GRADING CRITERIA FOR TEACHERS/TRAINERS IN THE LIFELONG LEARNING SECTOR

In order to gain a grade 3 or above, trainee teachers must also have evidence that they have fulfilled all the Professional Standards for Teachers, Tutors and Trainers in the Lifelong Learning Sector.

 

Outstanding (Grade 1)

Good (Grade 2)

Requires Improvement (Grade 3)

Overview

An outstanding student teacher is not afraid to take risks when trying to make teaching interesting and has the flexibility and confidence to deal with

the unexpected and ‘grab the moment’. A passion for learning, innovation, creativity, and lateral thinking are intrinsic facets of their practice. The student teacher is well-respected by staff and students and demonstrates a clear capacity for reflecting on what they need to do in order to become an outstanding fully qualified teacher

A good student teacher shows a willingness to try out a range of approaches to teaching and learning, knowing how to learn from success and ‘failure’, and know when/whom to ask for support both in trying out new approaches and in evaluating how well they work. The student teacher demonstrates a clear capacity to become an outstanding teacher.

A satisfactory student teacher demonstrates a limited but adequate range of teaching and assessment strategies. The student teacher will recognise s/he may need some help/support with aspects of his/her teaching and is willing to seek out and act on advice given to work towards becoming a good teacher.
