I spent some time this week connecting with my users and gathering feedback on the station-based learning lessons. I asked each student five questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How much do you\u00a0enjoy<\/strong> the learning stations activity, compared to a normal class?<\/li>\n
  2. How much do you feel that you\u00a0learned<\/strong>, compared to a normal class?<\/li>\n
  3. What was your favourite station (and why)?<\/li>\n
  4. What was your least favourite station (and why)?<\/li>\n
  5. Would you like to have more classes with these learning stations?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Here is what the results showed…<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    75% of students enjoyed the learning stations at least as much as normal (either the same, a little more, or a lot more). The most popular response was “a little more than normal” (41%). Only a small percentage of students rated their enjoyment lower. You can’t please everyone, but that’s definitely an encouraging breakdown.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    How much students learned was even better – 80% rated their learning as at least as much as normal (either the same, a little more, or a lot more). The most popular response was “a little more than normal” (39%). Only 1 student rated her learning as “a lot less than normal”.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    My anecdotal evidence held up: 55% of students preferred “Listen” – time at the board with me and a group of 4-6 other students. Comments here definitely indicated that students like the smaller size, and the opportunity to ask questions or talk about new concepts in a low-risk setting. Each station had at least 5 votes, indicating a definite range of preferences in learning styles. The 2nd most popular station was “Play” (online games\/simulations).<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The least favourite stations were Read (41%) – reading from my OneNote notebook and the textbook, and Watch (32%) – a Youtube video from Crash Course<\/a>. Comments here were mostly along the lines of “I don’t like reading” (a real commentary on our current society, and a discussion topic for another day). Students also mentioned some challenges with the internet connection to watch the video, and that Hank Green talked too fast.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Overall, 54% of students were either slightly or greatly in favour of using the Learning Stations again in future lessons (with an additional 23% on the fence at “I don’t care”). Only 2 students were strongly opposed to using Learning Stations again.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Once again, I enjoyed the data collection and analysis process (Stat Geek!), and it seems like the majority of students had a positive experience. I will have to think about it, tweak my methods (iterate!), and bring back the learning stations later in the year.
