  1. The more involved, the better the learning: why student engagement matters Thursday 16th January 2014 Yaz El Hakim and Camille Shepherd Learning and Teaching Development Unit @yazelhakim10 Yaz El Hakim yazelhakim

  2. Acknowledging Perspectives

  3. Strategies to help students know what good is, focus on students engaging with learning activities. • Showing students models of good work • Peer marking workshops • Lots of formative tasks with feedback • Plenty of interactive dialogue about standards • Self assessment activities

  4. FASTECH • Feedback and Assessment for Students with Technology • Built on TESTA assessment and feedback principles • Looked to engage programme teams with technology enhanced assessment and feedback • Wanted students to be part of the development…

  5. FASTECH • Students engaged in the developmental/research process as student fellows • Received training on data collection and analysis • Given room to explore best practice regarding the use of technology within the process of assessment and feedback • Identified a range of solutions with programme teams to choose from.

  6. Stories for engaging students and empowering collaboration (and its benefits)… • Liam Digan LAW and Cat Mitchell MUSIC • JazNaeemLAW http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZjPFBzbMOs

  7. University of Winchester • Proposing solutions and/or developments as members of those teams, which take cognisance of the contexts, literature and evidence for both staff and students

  8. Catalyst Fund

  9. Who is in support of the bid… • University of Winchester • University of Exeter • Kings College London • Birmingham City University • Roehampton University • The National Union of Students • Higher Education Academy • Staff and Educational Development Association • Quality Assurance Association

  10. A National Push for Student Engagement http://tsep.org.uk/ • A HEFCE/NUS funded partnership spanning across national associations and Universities for 3 year period, initially.

  11. What is the underpinning theory that can be applied to all student engagement… The Self-Determination Theory (Deci and Ryan, 1985; Ryan and Deci 2000) • Autonomy • Competence • Relatedness • Extrinsic rewards undermine the intrinsic motivation of individuals • Research also showed no marks = better learning (Black and Williams, 1998),

  12. A UK HE goal is to develop critical, independent, autonomous and lifelong learners • When students are engaged in the dialogue and literature of learning, transformations happen from their choices, inputs and shifts in perspective. • How much do our assumptions of students play a part in how we treat and relate to them across HE contexts? • Don’t we want to inspire independent learning in our students so they are empowered to challenge our own beliefs, assumptions and worldviews… and then the world in which they exist?

  13. To find out more… • You can find out more at www.testa.ac.uk, www.fastech.ac.uk or the new Research Centre in Student Engaged Educational Development • Follow us on twitter • @TESTAwin • @FASTECH_UK • Or just pop in on your travels…
