  12. Whole School AfL Project VIEWS on the PROJECT • Academic Student Resistance - • “JUST GIVE ME A GRADE” • Some Teacher Resistance – • “LET ME GO BACK TO A GRADE” • Lots of wide-ranging meaningful reports to Parents constantly over the term

  13. Whole School AfL Project NEXT STEP • SSE – “The Jury is out” • Survey parents of 2nd year at PTM ....SSE • January Croke Park meeting to review with staff .... see handout

  14. 2 Tynan AFL Strategy Survey Feedback Do you prefer Grades or Comments? • 15 Students prefer to get a grade • 5 Students prefer the comments • 3 Students would prefer comment & grade

  15. Where to next with AFL? • Complete survey with the 3 other second year groups. • Next step maybe use both strategies comment & grade feedback.

  16. Why do they want a Grade? • “Percentage to stride for” • “Comment does not encourage me to work” • “It tells you if you need to work harder” • “With marks, it’s like a competition to do better each time” • “It gives you confidence & you can better the grade next time” • “I prefer grades, I prefer grades, I prefer grades”

  17. Do Comments stop you making the same mistakes? • “You are told where you went wrong” • “The comment states what to revise and what to do next” • “Yes, I tend to read over the mistakes, where as I usually skim over them” • “yes, you know where you went wrong in your previous test”

  18. Does Comment only marking Motivate or Demotivate your learning? (Student Resistance) • “Demotivates me because I prefer grades” • “Motivates me sometimes, it doesn’t say if you did well or not” • “It just tells you where you went wrong, it never tells you, you did brillant” • “I would work harder if I sae a percentage” • “Motivates me to get mistakes corrected for the next time”

  19. Motivates your Learning V Demotivates Your Learning
