7. What does the learning environment
component of audit tool look like?
In assessing the quality of learning provided within a particular
service, department or directorate, the standards against
which learning environments are audited are seen below. There
may be multiple learning environments within a service, department
or directorate. Standards 3 and 4 are completed following
consultation with a group of students that are representative
of the learners that access the learning environment.
| Standard 1: |
The practice experience takes place within
a culture and setting that enhances learning. |
| Standard 2: |
Staff are adequately supported to maintain their capability
to support learning. |
| Standard 3: |
Students perceive that their practice experience provides
them with adequate learning opportunities to meet their
learning needs. |
| Standard 4: |
The practice learning environment provides orientation
and welfare information which is understood
and valued by students. |
| Standard 5: |
The practice learning environment has adequate facilities
and resources to support learning. |
| Standard 6: |
There are systems in place to consider the experiences
of people who access services. |
Against each of these standards a judgment is made and a
score given dependent on whether the standard is fully met,
partially met or not met at all. There is also a comment section
against each of the judgements. The scoring allows learning
environments to identify their strengths and identify where
improvements can be made across the standards.
