EVALUATION OF FIELDWORK
SITES
Evaluation of Level
I Fieldwork Sites
Evaluation of Level II Fieldwork Sites
EVALUATION OF LEVEL I
FIELDWORK SITES
The UND Academic Fieldwork Coordinator will review the
objectives and purpose of Level I fieldwork
with the representative from the facility, and will provide
examples of learning opportunities that will
meet Level I fieldwork objectives. The representative
from the facility will provide feedback to the
UND Academic Fieldwork Coordinator regarding their ability
to provide learning experiences consistent
with the UND curriculum.
After a Level I experience, students will complete a
Student Description of Level I Fieldwork form.
Students will also provide verbal evaluation of the fieldwork
site on the first day of class following
fieldwork. Instructor of the course will compare the feedback
from the students with the objectives of
the course and the purpose of Level I fieldwork.
Prior to contacting facilities regarding arranging a
fieldwork experience at the facility, the academic
fieldwork coordinator will view the Student Description
of Level I Fieldwork forms to ensure that
learning experiences consistent with the curriculum design
are available.

EVALUATION OF LEVEL II
FIELDWORK SITES
Each facility offering Level II learning experiences
will complete the UND Fieldwork Facility
Evaluation form to determine whether they are able to
offer learning experiences consistent with the
UND curriculum design. The review, which includes review
of fieldwork program and objectives, is
completed by the UND Academic Fieldwork Coordinator, who
then routes the form back to the facility
indicating approval or asking for further clarification
or information. Final evaluation results will be
sent to the facility and a copy placed in the fieldwork
office. This process might also be supplemented
through telephone or e-mail exchange, and may involve
curriculum updates, student evaluations of the
fieldwork site and fieldwork visits.
Facilities who are not approved as fieldwork sites will
be provided specific rationale as to the decision
made, and will be provided with suggestions should they
wish to pursue approval as a fieldwork site in
the future. Conversely, if a fieldwork facility chooses
to withdraw from offering fieldwork experiences
to UND students, they are also expected to notify the
UND Academic Fieldwork Coordinator of this
decision and the reasoning behind it. The information
concerning that facility is then identified as
“inactive” within the UND fieldwork binders
Data will be gathered in the areas of evaluation and
assessment, primary treatment conditions,
interventions, client participation, student resources
for learning, supervisory models and consistency
with the UND occupational therapy program objectives for
fieldwork.
Information collected will be used to:
-
Assist student in the fieldwork selection
process.
-
Inform fieldwork facilities of curriculum
content, expectations and learning experiences currently
offered in the UND Occupational Therapy Program curriculum.
-
Determine whether fieldwork facilities
are offering learning experiences compatible with those
presented in the UND Occupational Therapy Program curriculum.
-
Provide a method of objectively evaluating
existing fieldwork facilities.
-
Provide an instrument to guide faculty
in selecting new fieldwork facilities in an objective
manner.
