Approx time: 2 hours

Purpose: Collecting some data about your teaching: In this activity we are looking to gather some data about our own teaching and glean something about how our students see their learning experiences. To achieve this a tool is provided for you to conduct a mid-semester review of the unit or units you teach. The tool is a questionnaire for you to give to your students to fill out in class and evaluates the learning experience of the respondent.

You will then have collected your first real evidence of your own teaching.

PART A 1hr

Collecting some data about your teaching

1. Please download the Mid-Semester Review Questionnaire and give it to as many of your students as possible in the next couple of weeks.
2. Collect the completed forms and keep them safe.

Journal Entry
Please make an entry in your journal about your experience of collecting the questionnaire data

PART B 1hr

Considering the data about your teaching

1. Consider the responses of your students. (Dont let any negative comment get to you).
2. Make some notes on your feelings about what you have discovered.
3. Try to consider how you might be able to accommodate some change in how you teach that unit that might improve how you teach it overall.

Journal Entry
Please make an entry in your journal about how you might make alterations to your teaching strategies to accommodate the findings from the questionnaire.

In the next activity we will consider how we might make use of what we learnt from our experiences and the use of the Mid-SemesterReview Questionnaire to plan for improvement of our methods and skills to deliver a more effective learning experience to our students in the future.
