8. Developing positive feelings Think of something about yourself that you feel good about - a personal quality or attribute, something that ‘gives you a bit of a glow’ Write down a few words explaining why you feel good about it. In other words, upon what evidence do you base your positive feeling? reactions of other people feedback compliments seeing the results

9. Unsuccessful learning Think of something that you don’t do well - for example, an unsuccessful learning experience Write down a few words describing the causes of this unsuccessful learning experience - what went wrong?

10. Unsuccessful learning lack of opportunity to practise, or to learn safely from mistakes ‘bad’ feedback - critical feedback given in a hostile or negative way no motivation fear of failure couldn’t see why it was worth doing lack of time to make sense of it unable to understand it before moving on

14. Enhancing student learning One of the most effective ways of e ngaging students in learning is to involve them actively “Tell me and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand.” Confucius 450BC

15. Enhancing student learning BUT “Student activity does not itself imply that learning will take place” (Ramsden 2003, 113) “It is not enough just to do, and neither is it enough just to think. Nor is it enough simply to do and think. Learning from experience must involve linking the doing and the thinking.” (Gibbs, 1988, 9)
