The purposes for which student feedback is collected and the instruments we use to collect this feedback are important aspects to consider in the renewal of student feedback at SU. Traditionally the SU teaching community approaches student feedback as an evaluation of lecturers and their teaching and relies on the formal feedback surveys distributed at the end of modules to hear students’ voices on their experiences. In this session the two presenters will demonstrate an alternative way of collecting feedback – by engaging class representatives. Their presentation will also suggest that collecting feedback this way serves a different purpose – enhancing student learning. Prof Arnott will describe his use of class representatives at the level of an individual module and Prof Blaine will show this can be scaled up to the level of the programme. The purpose of this session is to encourage the SU teaching community to explore different ways of collecting feedback that can ultimately enhance student learning..
isiXhosa: Ukuhlaziya iNgxelo yoMfundi eSU: Ukusebenzisa abameli beklasi njengenye indlela yokuqokelela ingxelo Iinjongo ekuqokelelelwa yona ingxelo yomfundi kunye nezixhobo esizisebenzisayo ukuqokelela loo ngxelo yimiba ebalulekileyo ekufuneka iqwalaselwe kuhlaziyo lwengxelo yomfundi eSU. Ngokwesiqhelo uluntu lokufundisa laseSU lubona ingxelo yabafundi njengovavanyo lwabahlohli kunye nokufundisa kwabo kwaye luxhomekeke kuphando lwengxelo olusesikweni olusasazwa ekupheleni kweemodyuli ukuva amazwi abafundi ngamava abo. Kule seshoni abanikezeli ngcaciso bobabini baya kubonisa enye indlela yokuqokelela ingxelo - ngokubandakanya abameli beklasi. Iintetho zabo ziya kuphinda zicebise ukuba ukuqokelela ingxelo ngale ndlela kufezekisa injongo eyahlukileyo - ukuphucula ukufunda kwabafundi. UNjing Arnott uya kuchaza ukusebenzisa kwakhe abameli beklasi kwinqanaba lemodyuli nganye kwaye uNjing uBlaine uya kubonisa oku kunokunyuswa kwinqanaba lenkqubo yokufunda. Injongo yale seshoni kukukhuthaza abahlohli baseSU ukuba baphonononge iindlela ezahlukeneyo zokuqokelela ingxelo enokuphucula ukufunda kwabafundi ekugqibeleni.
