Reflection - what I observed re AUD115 Production I

AUD113)

q More production group-based discussions over class-based?
q More conscious questioning (CCQ, ICQ, focused questions)?
q More discussion of their Final Product expectations (realistic)?
u Remove Signal Flow exam (?)
u Change learning space to more discussion conducive space?

Reflective practice – my education & learning practice?
u I overlooked my pre-assessment of learners (Gen Y)
u I mistakenly expected students to be self-reliant (even though I provide an
enormous amount of resources for them to access outside of class)
u I overlooked the need for scaffolded tasks for this learner group
u I possibly reduced my focus on questioning with this group
q Concept checking questions
q Instruction checking questions
q Focused questioning
u I was accepting of the provided space
u I perhaps did not consciously engage reflective practice of my teaching
practice as much as I could have in this Trimester
u I did not consciously proactively pursue research of my teaching practice

u I have consciously returned to my roots to remind me of my practice (eg my practice
blogs)

u I not longer accept the limitations of the provided space
