Project activity
Valuing and recognising feedback: Student's perceptions on the use of feedback (2025)
Funded by the Student Experience Grant, this collaborative student project aims to enhance the student academic experience by raising awareness of the different types of feedback students receive and how they can use this feedback to improve subsequent work.
DataFit Project Officer (2021)
Evidence suggests that young people in Scotland have exposure and access to physical activity tracking devices, however associated literacy and understanding the data they generate e.g. step-count, may be poor. DataFit prepares children to use personal health data to become more data literate citizens, allowing them to make positive behaviour changes around physical activity.
PTAS Project: Using Media Hopper to Enhance Peer-Teaching and Develop Professional Judgement and Decision Making Expertise in Student Physical Education Teachers (2020)
This project funded by the Principal's Teaching Award Scheme (PTAS) seeks to use video capturing techniques so that University-based peer-teaching episodes which students undertake in the 3rd year of their ITE programme can be used as a resource to promote a more systematic approach to professional development. The recording of the peer-teaching episodes will provide the opportunity for students to engage in collaborative practitioner enquiry beyond the mentor-mentee relationship of school placements (Girvan, Conneely & Tangney, 2016).
