Dr. Frank Lyons, PDP Co-ordinator and Lecturer in Music at the University of Ulster, emphasizes the importance of Personal Development Planning (PDP) within music courses. By integrating PDP as a fundamental aspect of the curriculum, students are encouraged to engage in self-reflection and initiative, leading to enriched learning experiences. This approach includes ongoing feedback mechanisms, resource sharing, and the use of e-portfolios to enhance student reflection. Future plans involve extensive training for staff and students, aiming for deeper PDP integration.
