CIQ Wednesday 17th October

For CIQ please comment as you would for Paul...

In the meantime, can you link these two films, A and C, using degrees of separation? i.e. Clint Eastwood worked with actor/actress a in film A, who worked with b in film B, who worked with Geena Davis in film C.

You have clues for films A and C, film B and actor/actress b are the missing link:

Film A?____________ . Also starring with Clint Eastwood is actor/actress a? _________

Actor/actress a starred with actor/actress b? _________ Film B? ___________

Actor/actress b also appeared with Geena Davis in Film C? ___________

Geena Davis' co-star in film C (for bonus points)? ______________

Thanks!!!

Thanks for the kind words you wrote in the card and Keilan's and James's text's - it is very humbling and appreciated. Joel/Chevy you were wrong - the milkshake is better than a Blueberry Muffin!

Good luck to all of you and I hope you enjoyed the cakes.

Once I have a new email (early next week) I'll pass it on to you all.

Thanks once again for being a good group over the last 13 months. Keep making, taking risks but most of all enjoy what you do - it's half of the battle.

Here endeth the lesson.

CIQ: Thursday 13th September and Declaration

Dear participant/Student

I would like to ask you to participate in the data collection for a work-based study into the use of an electronic Critical Incident Questionnaire (CIQ). For the purposes of this work-based study the questionnaire will be used to discover how you are experiencing teaching sessions. Its usefulness is underlined by the experience that student responses often differ markedly from what teachers have expected on the basis of their own feelings in the classroom (Brookfield 1995: 95-96).  

The CIQ requires you to answer five questions that describe aspects of teaching sessions, prompting teachers to think about what is helping or hindering their learning so far. Your responses are anonymous and you are encouraged to keep a copy too for review at the end of the course and for your own records. You will be asked to complete the CIQ at the end of each class and are the same every week. 

Brookfield began giving students a voice, in this particular way, in the era of carbon paper! But nowadays the facilities available to us include electronic mail and virtual learning environments. Therefore, we will be asking you to submit your electronic CIQ to the specific CIQ page on the course blog.

Your participation in this work-based study is entirely voluntary. Filling in the survey will take no more than 5 minutes. The information you provide is confidential. All of your CIQ responses are anonymous and therefore no participant’s names will be used. If you request confidentiality, beyond anonymised quotes, information you provide will be treated only as a source of background information, alongside literature-based research and potential interviews with other participants.

Your name or any other personal identifying information will not appear in any publications resulting from this study. The information gained from this interview will only be used for the above objectives, will not be used for any other purpose and will not be recorded in excess of what is required for the research.

Even though the study findings will be published in a Thesis, international conferences and journals, only relevant researchers will have access to the anonymous CIQ responses. These researchers will be bound by the principles outlined above. There are no known or anticipated risks to you as a participant in this work-based study.

If you have any questions regarding this study or would like additional information please contact the work-based study researcher (p.smith7@unimail.derby.ac.uk).

By filling in the CIQ (every occasion) you indicate that you understand its purpose and consent to the use of the data as indicated above. This is a completely voluntary request and should you decide not to complete the CIQ at any point during the work-based study, the data you have already entered up to that point will be used.
Thank you for your cooperation

Paul Smith, University of Derby Research Student
