CMI Teaching and Learning Project Aims To develop learning approaches and resources to enhance the effectiveness of small group teaching in 2 nd yr Plant and Microbial Sciences:

Using evidence to inform practice in small- group teaching Multi-method study being carried out to identify areas where development should take place Analysis shows what is needed to support small-group teaching Support can be provided with online tools via SAKAI

CamTools – an integrated learning environment

Research wiki

Research Approach: Identification of desirable practices Development of resources Implementation of resources and practices Analysis of effectiveness of interventions

Multi-method research approach

Syllabus tool

Survey – dual scale The left scale relates to practices and this is for you to show how frequently things happen The right scale is for you to show how much you value the activity.

Exemplar essays

Self-tests

Student focus groups Where a small group of students is led in a discussion to identify and evaluate learning practices Prior experience of learning and dispositions towards specific teaching and learning strategies Experience of teaching and learning in supervisions Experience of and attitudes towards assessment
