ACTION PLANNING AND ASSESSMENT IN GUIDANCE CONTEXTS:
HOW CAN I UNDERSTAND AND SUPPORT THESE PROCESSES WHILE WORKING WITH COLLEAGUES
IN FURTHER EDUCATION COLLEGES AND CAREER SERVICE PROVISION IN AVON.
Jacqui Hughes
Abstract
The thesis presents an action enquiry approach to improving
understanding of action planning and assessment in guidance within further
education colleges and career service in Avon. Within the thesis I integrate
the elements within my enquiry to provide an original holistic representation
of my search for understanding of, and my learning about, these issues
and about my own educational development. Within this synthesis, I also
offer a new understanding of the theoretical origins of action planning
and the ways in which these can influence practice. In addition I proffer
a new 'process' model which incorporates assessment in guidance within
the action planning cycle.
