Assignment Task B -

Description of Assignment Two, Task B - Academic article for Broadside

This exercise combines the academic skills you have developed so far into writing a short article on YOURSELF as a professional, based on one of the issues identified in the unit readings: What is a professional? Am I a professional? What is it that I do that makes me a professional?

Broadside is a quarterly feature newsletter of the Community Child Care Co-operative Ltd (NSW) covering political issues and news affecting the early education and care sector. Each edition provides in-depth analysis of key issues of the day, giving you all the information you need to stay at the forefront of the sector.

Step 1 Review the lecturer's notes and complete the readings for Topics 1-5

Step 2 Your paper must be written as an academic essay, with headings.

DO NOT USE DIRECT QUOTES. You must demonstrate that you can summarise in your own words the ideas that you find in the literature. This is called paraphrasing. Please review Quiz 2 to ensure that you are paraphrasing correctly.

NOTE: A submission for Broadside must be presented as an A4 manuscript; with formatted title and headings. Do not format your submission in two columns.Marks for use of information communication technologies (ICT) for this task refer to formatting a submission (margins, fonts, headings), and inclusion of appropriate figure(s) or table(s).

Step 3 Choose the focus for your article

It is an article about yourself as a professional. You only have 900 words so you cannot write about every aspect of being a professional. Instead, choose one idea from the lecture notes and readings in Module 1 as your focus. Create a suitable and interesting title for your article.

Step 4 Search the literature

Use your skills and knowledge from the library quiz (Quiz 4) to locate peer-reviewed articles and book chapters from the UNE library about your topic.

Step 5 Plan your article (Your plan must be submitted with your article)

Use either linear or non-linear planning.
Your plan must indicate each paragraph, and the one point it will present/argue. It should also indicate what literature you will use to support the point in each paragraph. Also include an interesting title for your article (like those in other editions of Rattler). This will help you to focus your writing.
A 900 word paper would usually have 5-6 paragraphs: an introduction, 3 or 4 points (paragraphs) (they have have sub-headings too), and a conclusion.
You must include at least one reference to a peer reviewed article in each of the body paragraphs.
You must refer to at least two of the readings from the Unit.
You must refer to at least one peer reviewed article/book that you have sourced yourself from the UNE Dixson Library.
You must have a minimum of four different sources in your references.
You must include one or more images (tables, figures, diagrams, photos). Any image included in your article must be specifically referred to in your writing, that is, it must have a purpose for being included; and it must be labelled correctly. Follow the ASO guidelines for labelling and referring to a figure: Tables and figures.
You must include your plan when you submit your article.

Step 6 Write your article

Your article must have:

a title
an introduction and a conclusion
three or four subheadings - one for each of the paragraphs in the body of the paper
a list of references
word count

To address Learning Outcome -

1. You MUST critically appraise yourself as a professional. This means to think about your experiences and yourself as a professional, then critique yourself, (analyse and assess your abilities, actions and thoughts), in relation to the literature.

2. Requires you to acknowledge the importance of ECEC. This means that, somewhere within your paper, you need to link your discussion of professionalism in ECEC to the importance of ECEC.

3. Requires you to demonstrate proficient academic literacy.

Word length: 900 words.

Word length: 150 + 900 words. Guidance for Task A - This exercise has a word count of 150 words. This includes every word from the first word in the title to the last word of the paragraph. Use your computer word count and document the exact number of words on your submission (remember it should only be 10% either side of any word count). Take care with paragraph writing! The first sentence of the paragraph is the topic sentence, followed by several explanatory sentences that develop the idea of the paragraph, and conclude with a summing up sentence that draws out the point of the paragraph. Make sure you link the concluding sentence back strongly to the topic sentence. Usually, for an academic paragraph, the topic sentence and concluding sentence should be written in the 3rd person; however, for this article you will use 1st person. A paragraph is never one or two sentences. NOTE: Do not take a new line for sentences within a paragraph.

Give your entry a meaningful heading (headings are always counted in your word count). You must refer to your image in your writing. DO NOT use an identifiable image of children in your workplace. Figures are not decorations. They must add meaning to the reflection and help the reader gain clarity about the point you are making. Do not use clip art, slogans or ‘cute’ images. As this task is about both reflecting on yourself as a professional (Learning Outcome #1) AND practising constructing academic paragraphs (Learning Outcome #4) your comments will be most useful for your colleagues if they address these issues.

Some questions to guide your reflection include: (1) has the professional reflection been written in the first person, and does it refer to actual experience? (2) does your colleague critique him/her-self? (3) does the paragraph have an appropriate topic sentence and concluding sentence? (4) is the image labelled, referred to and correctly sized? (5) is the title interesting and relevant? (6) is the writing grammatically correct and easy to understand? This task is designed to demonstrate critical thought. Critical thought is not about being critical in the sense of being negative, but it does involve you providing authentic honest feedback. We do not want to see general comments such as "I enjoyed reading your story". You need to highlight why you enjoyed it; what was it that resonated with you? What was it about the story that was well constructed? What can you identify that could be improved?

WRITING TIPS: Always watch word count. Penalties apply in assignments where word count is over or under 10% of the designated total. Make sure you are writing formally. Academic writing differs from speaking. Avoid colloquial phrases and abbreviations. Watch acronyms: write the term in full the first time you use it with the acronym in brackets next to this so the reader knows. From then on, you use the acronym. Please refer to ECEC as a profession, rather than an industry. We do not produce a product.

Be very careful when writing about others that you write ethically and maintain a professional tone. The use of pseudonyms is required for ethical reasons. Ensure you state that pseudonyms have been used at the end of your paragraph (this statement will not be included in word count). Please avoid language such as "allowing" children. This suggests adults hold all the power and does not reflect the co-constructed nature of our work with young children. Please do not refer to children as 'kids' in academic writing. 'Kids' are baby goats. Be careful not to generalise when you write. The world is complex and diverse. Avoid statements such as "all educators are" or "parents are confused" or "it is difficult to understand" and so forth. This is not professional writing and does little to evidence yourself as a professional.
