Not in a good mode!

I was not in a good mode at all while I had a meeting with Allyson after a long time. Even, my eyes got wet when I was on the way, so tired and desperate...

She had a teleconference and I was waiting outside for few minutes.

I started with my coding categories:
Overall, she was happy about my coding category, but she gave some points:

  • Creativity and innovations/ Innovative thinking (what components reflect creativity). I said that problem solving skills might be a reflective of innovative thinking. 
  • Ethics and Health requirement might go to another category such as professional responsibilities, but I thought that I can shift health and safety requirement to Multidisciplinary (name can be Multidisciplinary knowledge) I think I also need a better definition for that. 

As I understood, she said that I need to work on cross of these. Like grouping. And I had my grouping in my mind (based on Habermas):
Technical: 

  • Apply Knowledge
  • Design & Development
  • Computer Skills


Practical:

  • Understanding
  • Analysis and Synthesis
  • Practical Implementation


Emancipatory: 

  • Soft Skills
  • Multidisciplinary Knowledge


Then we moved to questionnaire:
She said that each questions might be refer to:

  • Students need
  • Major problems
  • ? Mobility (the persons who trained here are good enough for other places)

More comments:


  • Student demands-> Student voice
  • Students do not own attrition and retention
  • Philosophy of assessment task: e.g. there must be an exam
  • Pedagogical trends-> Novel pedagoy 
  • Students background (TER or something like that refer to Entrance point)
  • I also need to ask about their philosophy of curriculum. 
She also said I need to start writing!!

She said we can arrange a time for having Elena as well after 4th March.
