In practical terms I’ve shied away from setting tasks with right or wrong answers. This prevents a student getting 100% the first time they try while another student gets 20% – a situation that is likely to reinforce the latter’s pre-existing beliefs about their own intelligence. Instead I use concept cartoons with a variety of answers, where students can identify if a conclusion is true or false in the first instance then explore that idea in different ways depending on their level of understanding. All students should feel involved in the conversation, although individuals may be working on different aspects of the task we’ve set.

As ever, the academic evidence could not settle these apparently irreconcilable views. I would respond by citing our famous Bananarama principle: it’s not what you do, but how you do it that actually counts!]]> 2018-10-14 16:29:14 UTC https://padlet.com/dager2_882/zxhrxoj6hc6k/wish/292554059 dager2_882 https://padlet.com/dager2_882/zxhrxoj6hc6k/wish/292554126 MA v.
