Description of the modifications to the Q3 2020-2021 assessment procedures (Covid-19)
The evaluation will consist of two parts: 1. A written exam which will focus on the subject seen during the course (see the slides on Moodle): Evolution of language (lexical, grammatical, phonetic aspects), variables and factors of evolution, tests and tools for evaluating language in young children, parental reports. Oral language disorders. Early detection and prevention. Students will be assessed remotely. They will have a limited time to complete the exam; this will include both closed and open questions. 2. A work whose instructions have been revised in view of the health situation and the government rules enacted to control the spread of the virus in Belgium. The new detailed instructions for carrying out practical group work communicated to students on Moodle are as follows: In terms of form: We ask you to complete a work of 30 pages maximum (excluding cover page, table of contents, bibliography and appendices) in size 12 Times New Roman, single spacing of 1.5 and in justified format; Bibliography and sources in the text must STRICTLY follow APA standards (this will count towards the final grade for the practical work); Your work must be saved in PDF format; Your work must be deposited on Moodle ONLY on the deposit provided for this purpose no later than the first day of the exam session in January 2021; In terms of content, you must integrate into your work: An in-depth literature review on your subject (minimum 5 pages, maximum 10 pages) based on a minimum of 10 articles dealing with your subject and dating after 2010; The literature review is a report on your theme which must: (1) analyze the intersection of the basic concepts of your articles by giving results drawn from the literature and findings from research; and (2) explain the interest of the theme by justifying this on the basis of the articles. A definition of the concepts: We ask you to define the basic concepts of your theme (these concepts will be chosen by the teaching team) by writing a review of the literature on the subject based on a minimum of 3 articles (this review must be at least 1 page per concept); One or more research questions: we ask you to develop the main research question; this research question should be based on the literature review you have previously developed. A methodology: we ask you to develop a methodology to answer your research question. You should include the following in your description of the methodology: Description of participants Description of inclusion and exclusion criteria Description of the tools used (tests, questionnaires, parental reports, etc.) Description of the procurement process Tools: we ask you to develop a complete anamnestic questionnaire which will be attached to the work in PDF format in the appendices; This anamnestic questionnaire must contain the classic questions of this type of questionnaire, but also the specific questions allowing you to collect the information necessary to answer your research question; The relevance of the specific questions asked in the anamnestic questionnaire must be justified on the basis of the literature. An explanation of the exploitation you would have made of the results: we ask you to explain how you would have treated the results, that is to say: How would you have calculated potential scores? Would you have used standards? Which ones? How would you have analyzed the data: qualitatively and / or quantitatively? What statistical procedure would you have used? Etc. A bibliography: we ask you to carry out the bibliography respecting the APA standards, by classifying the articles in alphabetical order and it must include all the articles mentioned in the body of your written work; Consent documents: we ask you to develop consent documents (parent and child) and attach them in PDF format as an annex to your work. In terms of presentation: NO oral presentation will be made; Your written work ONLY will therefore lead to the final mark given to your practical work.
