Comparison of the usage of a grading rubric by supervising radiographers and teachers

What is it about?

Professional work‐integrated learning (WIL) that integrates the academic experience with off‐campus professional experience placements is an integral part of many tertiary courses. Issues with the reliability and validity of assessment grades in these placements suggest that there is a need to strengthen the level of academic rigour of placements in these programmes. This study aims to compare the attitudes to the usage of assessment rubrics of radiographers supervising medical imaging students and teachers supervising pre‐service teachers. Methods WIL placement assessment practices in two programmes, pre‐service teacher training (Avondale College of Higher Education, NSW) and medical diagnostic radiography (Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Sydney, NSW), were compared with a view to comparing assessment strategies across these two different educational domains
