Student engagement with PDP: developing the discourse. Paul Jackson – University of Leicester
The Challenge • the student experience of PDP; • clarify the messages staff wish to convey about the nature and relevance of PDP ; • how these might be conveyed to students; • developing practice and ideas that can be taken forward by the Forum.
Methodology • Guidelines • Institutional Policy and Practice • Hoodies and Anoraks • Personal Journey • The method • Sampling stakeholders/one take/pre-warned about learning !
The Stakeholders • 1st Year Students • 3rd Year Students • Postgraduate • High School Student • P.T. Returner to Study • Employer • Graduate Engineer • Graduate Trainee • University Teaching Technician /Demonstrator
PDP – a reality Talking Heads Questions • Viewing the Clip. • What are the messages you are hearing (for student engagement ) • What would you want to say to them? • How?
Some Questions • Visible vs Invisible • Compulsion vs Voluntary • Embedded vs Stand Alone • Structure d vs Free Format • On-line vs Hardcopy vs Person to Person
From some research • Purpose • Communication • Delivery Communication • Concepts • Discussion • Explaining, what?, why? how? • Importance • Interaction with tutor • Communication with staff
Some Reflections • It is everywhere • What’s in a name • Talking about learning • Feedback to teaching! • The “e” thing • It is valued – where it has purpose and is a meaningful process • The non graduate job workplace/P.T. learners • The vast scope of approach • It is not 2005 – expectations of past experience and future experience
Concluding Thoughts What are the implications: • For your PDP practice • Institutional Practice Actions • For the forum
