  1. Action Research – The use of feedback mechanisms to enhance student learning

    Members: Werner Rozario, Wan Nur Farhani, Norazlan, Hisham

    Time line
    T2W1
    Craft research questions
    Decide on levels
    Methods of feedback

    T2W2
    Refine feedback
    Refine research questions
    Design pretest
    Decide how to analyse results

    T2W3ff
    Implementation

    T2W6
    Preliminary results / Analysis

    Research Questions
    1. To what extent does immediate feedback using ICT in lower sec Science help student improve in understanding the concept of forces.

    2. To what extent does explicit feedback on time markers improve the students use of tenses in writing tasks.

    2E – 202 and 203 will be used. 203 will be the control group.
    3N – 313 is the control group / 314 is the experimental group
    Method – to count the number of Tense errors in Personal recount. To teach time markers explicitly to 202 / 313. To count count tense errors in descriptive writing. To measure differences in number of tense errors between control groups and experimental groups.

    Discussed the methodology and how to report results. To use the T test to compare the difference in the mean.
    To write out methodology for both English [ Azlan / Farhani ] and Science [ Hisham ].
    Science – Pretest – on rate and speed graphs – using immediate feedback as a means of intervention. Post test - PAL

    14.4.2010
    Science – realtime feedback during HBL on 20.4.2010 for ½ the class. Post test will be the PAL on 21.4.2010
    English – sec 2E – pretest, intervention and post test conducted.
    Feedback / edmodo discussed.
    Prepare the methodology in the blog.

    Discussion on Sc aspect of the study - to track quality of questions asked and the repetitive questions.
    For English - pre-test has been completed. Post test scheduled.

    25.5.2010
    Items were analysed using the descriptive writing from sec 2
    for Sec3 NA - Pretest was a PAL letter & post test would be exam letter
    Methods of calculation using the differences in the mean of the pre and post test were discussed.

    29.6.2010
    Preliminary findings show that 3NA results were not conclusive

    Sc - encountered difficulties in getting students to access web to give on-line feedback or seek help

    Discussion on the feedback methods for EL/Sc
