Presenting my work-in-progress presentation – my work and findings on the project so far – I received some formative feedback from peers and tutor.
Questions posed regarding project :
- Is there something you are hoping to find?
- Will you propose change to your own teaching based on what your colleagues say?
- What is your intervention?
Responses to these:
- I am open to any findings through this process. Broadly I am looking for some answers as to how I can make my teaching more inclusive for students when I use objects that are not representative of the UAL student body. To do this I hope to come across ideas, practices and possibilities in my reading a research that I can pull together to enact change.
- This process is very much about developing my own teaching.
- I am still considering what my intervention will be, I want to be lead to some degree by what my findings are. Possible outcomes are: an activist toolkit for staff; plan for a staff development workshop; an action plan for changes to my teaching practice.
Feedback for formatting and content of presentation, and my actions in response:
- Include definition of object based learning (OBL)
- I will add a definition of OBL to my context slide, and make sure to explain terms etc in my presentation script without assuming knowledge
- Include some quotes on your rationale slide
- I will use notes from my reading to find and include quotes from UAL publications e.g. anti-racism action plan
