As part of my inquiry this year, I am wanting to use my class site as a total support system for my students working through their projects.
In order to help me to move forwards with this, I have asked my Y11 and Y12 students to give me feedback about their workflow at the moment across all of their lessons.
Things of notes from the results
- Students like quite a varied way of receiving their work
- They like a website / workspace to be well ordered and visually appealing
- They like a mix of verbal and written instructions, with examples to look at and refer to
- They appreciate having instructions and examples rewindable so they can look back at them
Here is the form that I have sent to them.
I have made a copy of the actual form response sheet so I can change and remove any reference to particular teachers, subjects or he/she.
Across all of your classes, which is the way you find your work most often? | Of the choices listed in Question 1, which do you prefer. Why do you prefer these methods? | What is the best way to make work clear to you? | Can you please explain why you chose the answers in Question 2. | Of all of the teachers websites / class sites that you work from, which ones do you find the easiest to follow, find your work, understand your work. Please also explain why you chose these ones and what it is about them that makes you choose them. |

For me, the most important parts are the reasons why they chose certain selections. In order to see that and for it to make sense, they need to be side by side like this.
