Jonathan Newton joins me to talk about running group work successfully. We discuss the skills teachers need to make group work effective, common problems in group work activities and what to do after group work to maximize learning.
Involving Students in Feedback (with David Carless)
Professor David Carless from the University of Hong Kong joins me to talk about feedback. David tells us why our students should spend more time reading and acting on feedback than teachers spend writing it, how we can use examples from outstanding students to help students give feedback to themselves and how much should the content of feedback be based on teachers’ ideas as opposed to students.
