College Award
Helen Bowstead (Study Skills) and Dave Harris have won a College Teaching Award. The project involves getting students to 'think aloud' as they undertake various typical tasks such as taking notes from lectures or reading academic articles. Students will be given standard questionnaires to establish their learning styles to see if this relates to these specific learning behaviours.
Subsequently, lecturers will be asked to 'think aloud' as they design typical tasks,and the results compared to those of the learners. Implications will be explored for both learners and teachers.
Outcomes will include the production of learning materials, perhaps in the form of RLOs, and some publications at various levels.
Helen and Dave would also like to acknowledge the useful input made by the Deputy Dean for SSPEL, Dr Ian Luke.
