- Getting us to do the Myer Briggs - it was very engaging and helped us see the validity of the test and other issues

- Perhaps debriefing more about personality and getting student contribution (although it was hard in the little amount of time)

- I would go through a little more theory before doing the test...OR do the test then ask if students they thought that was consistent with what their personality. You could also ask students to describe each other although you would have to think about interpersonal aspects of student relationships.

Overall that was super fun!!

People are always interested in themselves, so it's a good way to generate interest.

I liked how you guys used two different personality tests. It was a good way to discuss strengths and weakness of the test.

Perhaps a bit more theory, but I guess you were pressed for time so you probably would've done that anyway.

Maybe students could work in groups after completing the activities and compile a table of strengths and weaknesses on personality tests to extend their knowledge?

Question 2:

More structure in the instructions would've been better, as well as a little bit of background information about personality types/tests etc.

The Simpsons personality test

background information/ actual content knowledge to back up activity

Have provided the simpsons activity as an engagement activity, done some content then jumped into the more professional test to build on the knowledge learnt in the lesson. Also breaks up the period nicely.

1. (5) to an extent, the task wasn't really differentiated but it allowed people to reflect on their own understanding, and reflect on their own ideas

2. (7) Great one to use to lead into the strengths and limitations of the theory.

+VE Great fun!

-VE might be good to have the simpson stuff on the table so we can look at it.

4.5 Well: Using the Simpsons as a cultural tool to provide that extra level of student interest Class was really incorporative Improved: Less time for discussion, but it was obviously a small time period Extension: Have students complete the MBTI on a scale of 1-10

yay

Liked doing the personality test and seeing which simpsons character i was, perhaps let students do the test and have some other popular characters from show/movies where they students could "find" thimeselves

Engaging because it's about us of course!

Good energy from presenters :)

Good to compare validity by doing two different tests

The Simpsons activity was engaging and linked to information that I know. Was

Really Interesting! - 4

I think this lesson perhaps didn't leave much opportunity

to cater to individual students due to the way it was organised.

The simpsons activity and getting us to do the online test was very good.

Perhaps checking the website beforehand could be an improvement ;)

You could get students to attempt to create their own test?

Well done, thanks

One aspect that worked well: The Simpsons hook
One aspect for improvement: Find an online quiz with a scale option and less questions, perhaps one where you don't need to sign up with details, etc.
Modifications: Discuss what the different scales/types are, what do these results mean, implications

Worked well: The learning activities were highly engaging.

Improvement: Maybe find another personality test with less questions. Takes too much of class time.

Modify/change activity: Provide more theory or notes on the topic.

Overall it was really engaging and fun!

1. 3 - no obvious differentiation, some students had to ask for the slides to be moved back

I think the 'Simpsons Activity' worked really well as it could be understood through extrapolation. Students would be able to easily understand the content knowledge through this task.

When looking at the statistics for the Simpsons activity from the United Kingdom you could have included general terms e.g. intellectual around the box. Maybe you could have got the students to stand up so that we compare class results to research results and bring in some Research Methods.

In terms of modification of the lesson I understand that there were time constraints and this would have allowed you to move onto activities that would have extended students knowledge

Needed more explanations that related to the topic and activities.

The Simpson's activity was good. I used it in my class, and got students to stand in their 'character' groups to discuss whether they agreed with their characters, and whether they had/did not have similar personalities to each other. That's a suggestion to draw the activity out a bit more.

I'm not sure that the lesson differentiated students. We all did the same thing.

Perhaps make the quiz a bit shorter so that there is more time for discussion afterwards
