Reflection on the reading Addison 2014 – Doubting Learning outcomes
Summary
This resource covers themes of the history of learning outcomes, a critique of learning outcomes and alternative perspectives and ideas. It also critiques the impact on art and design education and makes recommendations to move away from a rigid framework for leaning outcomes to allow creative freedom and experimentation. To conclude, they have the potential to stifle creativity if they’re too rigid.
Reflection
In context to the Diploma in Professional Studies this resonates with me because industry is not as academic and is led by briefs and process rather than learning outcomes. We do need the framework for our formative and summative assessments but we addresss this by allowing more creative submissions for example videos of their self initiated projects and critical analysis as verbal, rather than written format.
Specified next steps in learning
We have adapted our course so it can remain experimental by introducing video recordings as a more experimental method of sharing and addressing and feeding back on progress. We allow video submissions as part of the summative assessment, too.
