Context-based students will spend much of their time based in a local church context from which they will come to Trinity for academic engagement. This unit provides for evaluation at Level H / 6 of performance in context in the student's second year of training and provides the opportunity to integrate experiential learning within a given context with theoretical learning through college lectures. Personal theological reflection is encouraged and collaborative reflection in the cohort group with a mentor.
Aims:
The unit aims to structure & focus learning in a church based context so as to enable an integration of academic study with practical experience of ministry, nurturing the skills of reflective practice and collaborative learning.

This unit comprises regular activities in the context church and wider community throughout the year of study. Student context and collaborative learning facilitated by a supervisor in the context (usually the incumbent of the church(es)), together with a College tutor who will ensure that the content of this second year adds to and complements that of the first year.
Formative assessment will be carried out by the context supervisor and context tutor who will observe and report on the student's participation and performance in the learning opportunities throughout the duration of the unit. Summative assessment will be through a portfolio of evidence of 8,000 words based upon a required list of contents [attached].
Note: The purpose of this assessment is to provide evidence for the work-based learning that has taken place throughout the whole academic year. As such, the evidence inevitably contains descriptive material regarding the work-placed experiences upon which the analytical and reflective essays that follow are based. For this reason, the overall word count for the portfolio is higher than that for other 20-credit units at level H / 6 (6,000).
