D uring my inquiry into the use of robotics in maths to increase engagement in maths learning, and subsequently to improve learner outcomes, I have made changes in my practice. My plan is for this change to filter down through my team to other Year 5 teachers at my school. Here I will critically reflect on my wider audiences using Rolfe’s Model of Reflection . S tep 1 - W hat L ooking at my practice within a wider, national, context I need to consider the future of education and the role of new technologies within this. Bolstad et al (2012) suggest that 21st-century learning is ‘an emerging cluster of new ideas, beliefs, knowledge, theories and practices”. Whilst their research project is now 7 years old, one of Core Educations 10 trends for 2019 is Human Capital which states that “we must keep learning and changing to acquire skills and dispositions that meet the needs of different contexts and emerging opportunities.” Essentially 21st Century Learning for 2019.

S tep 1 : D escribe the data you have collected A s part of my inquiry, I collected data during the “Scan” phase of the Spiral of Inquiry, the aim of which was to find out how my students-to-be felt about learning particularly maths and robotics. This data was used to refine my area of further research. S ince then all of my data collection has been during the “Take Action” phase as per my Action Plan . O n a daily basis, I have been collecting quantitative data on student collaboration and engagement using tally marks on interval behaviour logs, to see if students were actively collaborating and engaged in their learning when using the Bee-bots. Qualitative data has been collected daily in the form of post-observation interviews with each of the four target students, in order to clarify the findings from the interval behaviour logs. N umber Knowledge tests were carried out before and after the teaching intervention to obtain before and after quant...
Mindlab Leaders Assignment Leadership in Digital and Collaborative Learning - Assessment 1 Critically analyse the leadership of a change initiative that you were involved with in the past. Then plan your leadership of a future change initiative. Identify the leadership theories, styles and attributes used and evaluate their effectiveness. Either individually, or in groups of two or three, write a cohesive essay where you begin by briefly evaluating a previous change initiative, and your own role within it, with reference to relevant leadership theories. Building on these reflections, explain and justify how you will lead your main stakeholders through the implementation of the change initiative outlined in your Digital 1 assignment. Demonstrate your critical understanding of multiple leadership theories and key principles, including their strengths and weaknesses, through these two change initiatives.
