Session 4 - Reflections

Today's lesson began with a recap off LE. A whole list of words related to LE were listed out which would define. We learnt to categorize them and apply the Moo's scheme to see the relations. A better insight into the various instruments available to assess LE was given by Dr Quek. Again dimensions of the instruments were related to MOO's scheme .

Both quantitative and qualitative studies have been involved in LE. Quantitative studies usually involve the various instruments like SLCEQ, QTI, WiHIC.

A group activity involving the case studies of school A ,B ,C was an interesting session. After 3 sessions of Learning Environment learning I realized that we were analyzing the case studies very critically using the knowledge gained over the 3 sessions. We commented on it based on the Relationship aspect, personal development, system maintenance and system change.(MOO'S SCHEME)

Second half of the session involved us directly in a survey conducted with our class. based on the data collected we consolidated our responses onto a excel and transported the values to the SPSS software to analyze them.
Though tedious it was a new experience with lots of trial & error.
Throughout today's session we tapped heavily on the online learning platform GMAIL! It was so convenient to use it to share info with everyone in class so fast and efficiently.
