Learning in vivo: Three main categories of curriculum-related work experience

What is the Sceptic's Tarot?

Buy the course!

The Sceptic's Tarot is about using Tarot cards for ideas, brainstorming, problem solving, decision-making, planning, goal-setting, motivation, self-exploration, creative activities, counselling, relaxation and more.

There is nothing mystical, esoteric or supernatural involved.

The cards are usually associated with divination. They do not have to be. The Sceptic's Tarot offers a different take on how Tarot cards can be used.

Three main categories of curriculum-related work experience

Work experience can take a variety of forms, say Little et al (2001) and identified three main categories (Work Experience Group, 2002: 23), namely:

Organised work experience as part of a programme of study
Organised work experience external to a programme of study
Ad hoc work experience external to a programme of study.

Work experience could be embedded in the curriculum; for example, experience (perhaps project-linked) that is assessed and accredited; or part-time vacation, term-time paid, and voluntary work that students are increasingly undertaking.
