ENJOYMENT USING MYPORTFOLIO
yes no mostly
SUMMARY
The students were mostly positive about both their learning and engagement (measured by ‘enjoyment’ questions).
The students were also mostly positive about using MyPortfolio although there were some who found it confusing
None of the students said they did not enjoy working in a group. There were some comments requesting more class instruction and
this was a need that I recognised as well. The organisation of the Literary Circles meant that I did not have as much time facilitating the learning that was taking place as I had hoped.
In spite of not being able to facilitate as closely as I would have liked the class presentations affirmed the results of the survey – they managed to gain a good understanding of the poems through the group work and independent study.
