Progression Beyond the Classroom: Actively Teaching and Learning

Description

This project will evaluate methods used to teach fieldwork skills, with a view to increasing student self-reflection, improving assessment, and developing student understanding of the importance of personal development plans (PDP). This will help students maximise opportunities on other departmental research projects, and enhance their employability within the archaeological profession.

The project will evaluate the different types of group teaching and learning currently employed at the Silchester Field School. It will make transparent the variety of skills which can be gained during practical fieldwork, and assess their importance for student employability. It will ensure that the student assessment is appropriate for the learning experience, and will provide a yardstick for measuring student ability in the field.
