1. It can be challenging to obtain meaningful learner feedback and evaluations of learning experiences due to limitations like limited contact hours, stuffed syllabi, and the limitations of formal instruments.
2. The researcher aimed to delve deeper than official surveys to understand the totality of learners' experiences through tools like lesson videos, peer observations, and discussions.
3. Obtaining learner feedback through exploratory practice approaches can facilitate reflexivity in learners and teachers, provide mutual understanding, and cultivate an ongoing dialogue to improve the learning experience. However, it also presents challenges in navigating teacher and researcher roles.

The presentation explored the intersection of student focused social justice interests, civic engagement goals, and community partnership opportunities. The underlying premise was that when students connect with community issues that they are passionately interested in they become more deeply involved with learning objectives and have the opportunity to learn from experts in social justice issues. The end result is an opportunity to immerse students in opportunities to become catalysts and leaders of social transformation. This presentation focused on a student learning and advocacy program at the Thomas Merton Center, located in Pittsburgh, PA. The program engaged over 100 student interns from universities and community colleges located across the country. Students connected with the center as a result of their involvement in their colleges’ service learning and civic engagement programs. Students learned leadership skills that could be applied in their ongoing peace and justice activism. At the workshop, attendees learned how to implement the center’s strategies, while combining student learning outcomes with civic work in the community. Emphasis was placed on creating a values- based framework that links student learning with student passion which manifested in diverse civic engagement opportunities.

Authentic learning, emerging technologies and graduate attributes: Experience...husITa
Internationally, there has been increasing concern by educators regarding developing graduate attributes such as critical scholarship, citizenship and lifelong learning to prepare students as agents of social good dealing with the complexity and uncertainty of the twenty-first century (Barnett, 2004). Conventionally, universities have used constructive alignment (Biggs, 2012) as a means of embedding graduate attributes such as the development of critical and reflective skills into the curriculum. However, the possibility of applying the nine principles of authentic learning (Herrington, Reeves, & Oliver, 2010) within the social work curriculum to facilitate the development of graduate attributes, has not been fully explored in the higher education or social work (SW) education literature. This paper addresses this gap in the literature by examining how the use of authentic learning principles by social work educators could lead to desired graduate attributes for students. In investigating the potential that authentic learning may have for developing graduate attributes SW education, this paper draws on in-depth interviews about authentic learning which were conducted with five South African SW educators from three differently placed higher education institutions. These interviews were part of a larger national study, which investigated the role that emerging technologies (ET) >Veletsianos, 2011) can play in improving teaching and learning in higher education. The transcripts of the interviews were analysed by the authors to establish whether or not authentic learning principles identified by Herrington et al. (2010) and ETs have the potential to develop desired graduate attributes in students. The findings revealed not all nine elements of authentic learning and ET existed in the case studies.
Learning Analytics and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning - an obvious ...Blackboard APAC
The scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) essentially advocates for a research approach to be applied to the improvement of learning and teaching. It encourages teachers to reflect in a scholarly way on their teaching practice and at the more advanced level to undertake research on teaching practice and curriculum. Learning analytics has the potential to provide data on elements of the teaching process which have to date been difficult to measure particularly for the broader cohort of teachers.
This presentation will draw attention to the connection between SoTL and learning analytics and prompt participants to think about how learning analytics can be used in a wider context to contribute to changes in teaching design and practice.
This presentation formed part of the HEA-funded workshop 'Research methods for teacher education'.
This event brought together academic experts in educational research methods with school leaders, to debate, share and determine how student teachers and teachers on part-time Masters-level programmes can best be taught to use research methods to better understand and ultimately, improve the quality of their teaching and improve educational outcomes for pupils and schools.
This presentation forms part of a blog post which can be accessed via: http://bit.ly/1m8vkEW

1. Why is it a challenge to obtain meaningful learner feedback and evaluations of
the learning experience?
Chris Banister, English for Academic Purposes Lecturer, Regent’s University London, banisterc@regents.ac.uk
1. Background
Regent’s Language Teacher
Research Project 2014-16 led by
Dr Assia Rolls, ELT and MFL
teachers, Exploratory Practice
Learners: Undergraduate exchange
students, Upper Int, Advanced
Module: business English, 3 hrs
p/w, student-led components,
blended aspects.
Puzzle origins: modular format,
limited contact hours, stuffed
syllabus + limitations of formal
instruments = reduce opportunity
for informal feedback and
evaluations = disconnect
To shed light on: materials,
activities, methods, interaction,etc.
= the totality of the learners’
experience (Mortiboys 2010)
Aim: delve deeper beyond the
averages of official surveys, obtain
feedback for the teacher but not
necessarily about the teacher
Peer Participation
6. Classroom quality of life: impact
Reconnecting to and in dialogue
with my learners “I have learnt
many new and useful business
words.” “The vocabulary card
quiz’s. It makes you be ready and
updated.” (student feedback Dec
2015)
7. Reasons to focus on learner
feedback and evaluations
Facilitates development of the
reflexivity in both learners and
teachers
Provides mutual access for greater
understanding
Cultivates a learning space with a
shared ongoing dialogue
Adding to the pool of student
feedback and evaluations-
Likely to draw out further puzzles
to explore
8. Challenges in EP Identity and
overlapping roles: teacher,
teacher-researcher
4. Learner voices
Transferable skills
2. 2. Considerations
Establish purpose (Williams and
Brennan 2004) and red lines
Survey fatigue
duplication, ritualisation (Williams
and Brennan 2004)
Psychological: power assymetry
(Richardson 2005; cf. Clayson and
Haley 2011
Interpretation: tendency to “filter
information” (Mortiboys 2010:125)
anonymity v actionability trade-off
Importance of feedback to
learners (Williams and Brennan
2004)
3. Research tools
Lesson videos
Peer observations
Discussions with project leader
and project participants
Potentially Exploitable
Pedagogic activities-PEPAs
(Allwright and Hanks 2009;
Hanks 2015): surveys,
discussions (comparing
learners’ experience with
research findings, reflective
Identification of a suitable puzzle
Clarifying the terminology,
methodology and principles of EP
(e.g. puzzles v problems)
Learners as partners: potential
value of “learner agency (and)
perspectives” (Rowland 2011:261)
Integration of research activities
(PEPAs) into everyday classroom
processes
Dissemination and making public
understanding
9. Conclusions: benefits and
transformations of an Exploratory
Practice approach
Transformative for the teaching-
research relationship. Classroom
events become a “legitimate
source of research knowledge
about teaching and learning” (Borg
2010:418)
Brings teachers and learners
together by foregrounding
improvements to classroom quality
of life and enabling creativity
(Hanks 2016)
CPD benefits: confidence to
disseminate, access research/
teacher research communities
Difficulty and ambiguity
Areas for development
3. Boosts feelings of teacher self-
efficacy (Wyatt and Dikilitas
2015), satisfaction with practice
in a “collegially supportive
environment” (Slimani-Rolls and
Kiely 2014:433)

5. Some enhanced understanding
and improvements
1. Mismatch between some
learners’ expectations and the
stated aim of the modules
Clarification of module aims
2. Desire for greater clarity re:
written assessment requirements.
Introduction of exemplars
3. Need for a boost in the
