Fairly useful feedback
Research has shown that teachers and students are mismatched in their perceptions of feedback fairness. The characteristics of feedback comments that students perceive as fair have received relatively little attention in the literature. We present two experiments which consider whether characteristics that have been shown to relate to “effective” feedback also relate to fairness. Participants were presented with excerpts from fictional assignment…
What’s the use of being nice? Characteristics of feedback comments that students intend to use in improving their work
Although teachers spend a lot of time striving to provide high-quality feedback, students do not always act upon it and may rate it as unhelpful. The current study attempted to determine the characteristics of feedback that influence students’ intentions to use teachers’ comments in their future work. Participants rated real feedback comments for clarity, tone and encouragement as well as their intention to use those comments if they had received…
Collecting the Past, Facing the Future
The archives of the former Wellcome Historical Medical Museum [WHMM] and Wellcome Historical Medical Library [WHML] comprise nearly 600 boxes’ full of correspondence files, hundreds of thousands of 6” x 4” index cards, handwritten registers, ledgers and handlists, shorthand notebooks, typescript reports, and printed auction house sales catalogues. This profusion of documentation reflects more than a century's worth of museum and library activity …
Climate change education through the You and CO 2 programme
While there has been an international call for action from the United Nations secretary general, individuals’ abilities to engage with climate change and actions to mitigate it can vary. In 2020 and 2021, COVID-19 and related school closures caused significant upheaval across the world; schools made immediate shifts to remote delivery, increasing workloads and decreasing access to outdoor spaces and opportunities to connect with nature. In this p…
Playing for Change
We designed and pilot tested “You and CO 2 ”, a program designed to encourage students to reflect on their personal impact on the environment, while also appreciating their place within society to bring about positive societal change. Over three interlinked workshops, students analysed the carbon footprints of some everyday activities, which they then explored in more detail through interacting with a bespoke piece of interactive digital narrativ…
Assyriology at the Margins, the Case of William St. Chad Boscawen (1855–1913)
This study presents the career of late-nineteenth-century Assyriologist William St. Chad Boscawen (1855–1913) as a case study in recovering contributions to knowledge-making by low-status, marginal actors. Boscawen took Assyriological knowledge and expertise, gained at the British Museum, into a new disciplinary setting: a private museum of history of medicine, owned by pharmaceuticals entrepreneur Henry Wellcome (1853–1936). Yet his relocation w…
The effects of allowing a second sequential lineup lap on choosing and probative value
When presented with a sequential lineup, witnesses see each member of the lineup individually, essentially making a yes/no decision for each person shown. An important policy question is whether witnesses should be allowed to see an additional lap of a sequential lineup. We investigated the impact of a second lap on eyewitness decision making and on the probative value of suspect identifications. We recruited a large community sample of participa…
