Inquiry 2022 - Teaching Actions likely to Accelerate Student Learning

"Form hypotheses about teaching actions likely to accelerate student learning."

Thoughts after student feedback :-
  • Link what they do future plans and how they can use DVC as 60% of the student replies said that it was an important aspect as to why they chose the subject.
  • Do mindset activities as a lot of the students do not have a good mindset in regards to their abilities in DVC
  • Build skills slowly to give the students confidence
  • Let the students choose to work together on a research activity or by themselves, depending on how they best concentrate and focus on their work.
  • Give regular feedback as to how they are doing as some of their replies are about not knowing where they stand.
  • Build in practice time with activities so it is not straight into the assessed work. This could prove difficult as the students do tend to. get a little too focussed on whether an activity is for credits.
  • Make work available in multiple places.
  • Make clear step by step support material.
  • Teacher made exemplars were more popular than the NZQA ones. I will also pull out past student projects for them to see Tamaki College exemplars.
  • Work one to one with students. This is important as all their projects are slightly different so they all. have unique problems to overcome.
  • Have rewindable resources as the students particularly did not like being told how to do something once then being expected to get on with it.
  • Make sure their is the planning there and the time given for them to aim for the higher achievement levels.
