  4. As he enters the room, the year seven maths teacher's voice raises above the cacophony of noise, "alright class, I will be talking to you for the rest of the class; get out your books and copy the equations I put on the board". I have to hold back from groaning, as this not only brings back some unwelcome memories of my own school years, but is also contrary to everything I have been learning about best teaching practices and student orientated learning.

  5. Embedding the survey

  6. The metaphysics of existentialism are reflected in my personal philosophy. I strongly believe that we learn through choice. Action and consequences are incredibly valuable learning tools, particularly in the social construct. The notion of education as a means of awakening the freedom to choose resonates strongly with me. I believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it cannot be prescribed or dictated.

  7. The second time I completed the survey I found that 47% of my answers remained exactly the same, while the remaining 53% altered minimally. My answers only moved up or down one answer on the scale. This shows me that throughout the semester I have been able to consolidate my thoughts and/or am flexible enough in my thinking to adjust my thoughts when provided with new, robust information

  8. Bank of feedback statements for assessors

  9. Using a feedback template to mark against criteria

  10. Analytics - reports on feedback to students

  11. Feedback from academic staff • Online reflective survey and blogs great source of materials for class discussions • Higher standard than previous word doc • Design mitigated the effects of poor practicum placement • Webfolio easily revisited in final year

  12. Changes the second time around • Practicum now placed at the end • Retaining activities but reordering
