Create a presentation on child protection in australia


Assignment:

Topic that I have chose for this power point presentation is Child protection In Australia and how to help.

• Task

• You will complete a presentation, using PowerPoint [PPT], and following the Presentation instructions below, about an issue that falls within the realm of human services [for example, homelessness, Indigenous issues, aged care, the effects of natural disasters, etc]. You can do this as part of an individual or group project, and upload this work to the Interact site for peer appraisal and interaction [you must check Announcements and the Discussion Board on a regular basis to access further process details, or check in class if studying as an internal student].

There are specific upload details that you must follow in order to engage in the peer appraisal and interaction process:

• You will be advised to upload your work to a designated place either in the WIKI tool or the Blog tool in the HCS102 Interact site where it can be viewed and commented on, by your fellow students.

• As part of the assessment process, you must submit a notification Facing page via EASTS to indicate the task has been completed and ready to be marked. Details and examples of this 'facing page', which will include a checklist of all 10 elements to this task, will be given via Announcements or in a Blog entry, but essentially the one page can be created by you.

Rationale

This is the second assessment item for HCS102, and is designed to involve students in collaborative communication with peers, through effective organisation and creative presentation of information.

The rationale is repeated as for all assessment items, and can be reviewed in the Assessment Information section of this Subject Outline.

In HCS102, completing the three assessment items builds a picture of your communication and learning development, as well as to provide the necessary foundations for working in the human services and social work fields - again, the thinking-doing-being cycle.

Broadly speaking, for this second assessment item, you are presenting research to your fellow peers, engaging them in 'conversational learning' about your work, and following instructions as you would in a place of work, in order to execute [complete] a task. Each developmental stage has coincided with the different assessment tasks up to now:

• What to include in the actual presentation; content & process.

The most effective presentation will be one that gets the balance right, and after all, this is a developmental and learning process. If you are not familiar with either the WIKI or Blog platforms in online learning, these are just examples of media to capture and share information, similar to face-to-face classroom presentations, but in this case, done online; when you put something there, then all other members of that site can see and comment [this works very well in generating and practising 'inter-personal & systems communication'], at their own pace and time.

The PowerPoint presentation will be NO MORE than 12-15 slides maximum - whether you are doing this on an individual basis or within a group. Students engaged in a group project must accept a mark in common.

The presentation, in line with the learning outcomes for HCS102, will be more about PROCESS than CONTENT. Having said that however, the presentation must relate to a relevant aspect of 'human services' and attempt to engage peers in conversational learning [more on this later, but essentially this just means to encourage and motivate others to comment, discuss, debate, and reflect through further research].

The presentation you put together will be on the basis that you could have been in a 'normal' face-to-face situation, talking and presenting for approximately 30 minutes, to 1 hour - hence the 12-15 slide maximum - no audience wants to have 'PPT overload'. Most presenters will talk for 3-5 minutes on each slide. However, this assessment item requires all students to engage with technology; to complete a virtual presentation so that peers can view the work online [via WIKI or Blog]. Students are encouraged to make positive and interactive comments in the same way that useful inter-personal communication is developed.

You should complete a presentation that is creative but not overwhelming; use a combination of styles and fonts, colour and light, visuals and graphs, music and video inclusion, with caution. Remember, this is not about preparing something for the Hollywood Oscars; work is required to be saved and opened without putting a drain on upload and access - if something is too 'huge' and complex for others' systems to try to open, then the chances are that they will not bother and interesting work is then 'lost' to viewing and comment.

Here's how to put together a good presentation that will encourage conversational learning with peers, that is, work that is interesting and well-informed, that covers all the elements outlined in the Marking Criteria Rubric Table, that will engage others, invite comment, raise awareness, and leave viewers with a sense of satisfaction about time well-spent.

Your presentation MUST INCLUDE:

1. Slide 1 - Title of topic, your name [leave off your Student ID - that should be confidential]

2. Slide 2 - Table of Contents - this should list at least the following (you can reword): Introduction - values statement; sub-headings of the next 4-5 slides about your topic; Sociogram; Sociogram Analysis; Learning Styles; Conclusion; References.

3. Slide 3 - Introduction & values statement [Why do you want to do this topic? What influences/events/experiences have made you want to do this topic?] More about this later - you will be shown how to write a values statement that is not too personal, or does not overtly identify others, or that does not breach confidentiality.

4. Slides 4-8 approximately - Content of your topic - this is where your sub-headings come in as you work through what you want to say.

5. Slide 9 [approx.] - Sociogram: this can indicate connections and processes related to your research topic that you want to discuss. The main point however, is to provide a sociogram that shows the communication connections you made, to do your research and reflection in order to achieve this assignment.

6. Slide 10 [approx.] - Sociogram Analysis - this allows you to 'critically analyse' communication that you perceive in the making of this PPT. NB: to ‘critically analyse' is NOT to criticise or be negative, but rather to critique by being honest and open to awareness-raising change.

7. Slide 11 [approx.] - Reflection on learning styles - how did you go about the process; what does this tell you about how you learn, for example? You will be expected to have some reference to Kolb's learning cycle here. If you are in a group, then you might take up 2 slides to complete this element of the task.

8. Slide 12 [approx.] - Conclusion - tell us what you set out to do - summarise the main points, or, in the spirit of praxis, what else could you do for future research on the topic. Make some relevant link to the Matryoushka Doll Analogy from your subject materials.

9. Slide 13 [approx.] - References - and yes, there MUST BE A REFERENCE LIST - for this task, as well as in-text references which should match your References list - approximately 6-8. Use APA Referencing Guidelines.

10. Slides 14 & 15 are there as a 'back-up' if you need to add more Content, or visuals, or if you are in a group and need another slide for the other aspects of the presentation.

 

Requirements

The following five-step process will guide students in the initial stages of thinking about the process:

1. Topic: Think of a topic area - some examples could be: domestic violence; child protection; people with disability; the effects of mental illness; community capacity-building; environmental effects on individual and family well-being - and flag this on the Forum.

2. Group or Individual: Establish whether this will be an individual or group project, and understand why this choice has been made. By flagging on the Forum there may be the chance to collaborate and join forces with others who have chosen a similar topic, but bear in mind that working as part of a group entails specific skills.

3. Undertake research: Organise information and present in the most effective way possible. Ensure that the research is ethical and professional - DO NOT CONDUCT INTERVIEWS OR GROUP WORKSHOPS to find out information about your topic. More information will be provided later.

4. Ideas about presentation: Access information about how to present and complete the work. This information will come to students on the Forum or as part of an Announcement.
