STUDENT CONFIDENCE
The British HE system strives for excellence in student support.
Student support provision should never neglect the importance of helping students to become confident and autonomous.
THE THEORY
Re-visit and explore the concept of Academic Self-Efficacy (ASE):
Students’ confidence in their ability to accomplish specific academic tasks or attain specific academic goals (Bandura, 1997).
THE TECHNOLOGY
Use technology to connect with students in large class modules.
Employ Student Response Systems like ‘clickers’ to engage, interact, assess, but also use them to increase students’ ASE.
TEACHING APPROACH
• Interactive Lectures + online Feedback Reports to stimulate engagement and provide guidance.
• Flipped Workshops + Formative Seminar Quizzes to promote self-assessment and raise ASE.
• Extra-curriculum Facebook Challenges + Presentations to elicit ASE through demonstration effect.
EVIDENCE-BASED VALIDATION
• Rich learning analytics + demographics identify correlation patterns.
• Focus groups and questionnaires narrative to interpret quant. analysis.
•Research into the role of clickers no literature on their impact on ASE.
STUDENTS AS PARTNERS
• Continuous dialogue identify ways to improve learning and teaching.
•Student interns support the research, offer insights and ideas, gain employability skills.
