Findings
Background of system

5. An Australian Context National standards implementation underway
Program learning outcomes need to be aligned to these standards
Teacher employment process relates directly to demonstration of standards
Mobile technologies are on the increase
Hattie and Timperley (2007) identify feedback that is immediate, specific, positive and corrective as having the most powerful influence on PST learning.
Blended learning and mobile learning
Expectations emerging from mobile penetration of learning environments include immediate access to educational content – anywhere and at any time (Moldovan & Muntean, 2012)

6. Do pre-service teachers want immediate feedback?
If they do, is this the best time for them to reflect?

7. PTT Concept Formation
Explore how a mobile device might assist pre-service teacher assessors and students in the formative and summative assessment processes.
Inconsistencies in summative assessment decision making about new standards
paper notes
use of non-standardised criteria and assessment rating scales.
Little structured and documented formative assessment that can promote on placement learning.
Increasing validity (measuring what is supposed to be measured) and reliability (consistent across a cohort) of the school based assessment

8. Focus on assessment of skills requiring observations
In practicum experiences there is a video streaming system (m-View) and connection systems including Adobe Connect, Skype and manual use of Pocket Camcorders (Gronn, Romeo, McNamara & Teo, 2013)
One-off samples of performance might not reflect the overall performance of the Preservice teacher (Mackaway et al., 2011)
Soft skills identified in teacher accreditation standards.
are very effective in promoting learners’ resilience
demonstrate enthusiasm for working with children and young people ***

11. Pre service teacher assessment on Mobile

12. The Trial 6 participating schools in Sunshine Coast region
4 week trial
Pre-service teacher placements as part of UG program
7 Users of mobile and 9 users of the web only system

13. System outputs The system tracks the data of all users
It stores this for generating reports
Reports can be tailored to the needs of user
Video and photographic data can be collected over time as evidence of training and to verify progress

14. Quantitative results Positive findings
System helped mentors to be more effective in providing feedback
System helped mentors to stay focused on learning outcomes
System helped to set goals for development
System helped pre-service teachers identify own teaching skills
