CMI Teaching and Learning Project Aims
To develop learning approaches and resources to enhance the effectiveness of small group teaching in 2nd yr Plant and Microbial Sciences:
Improve learning outcomes
Engage students better
Enhance student recruitment and
retention

Using evidence to inform practice in small-group teaching
• Multi-method study being carried out to identify areas where development should take place
• Analysis shows what is needed to support small-group teaching
• Support can be provided with online tools via SAKAI

Survey – dual scale
The left scale relates to practices and this is for you to show how frequently things happen
The right scale is for you to show how much you value the activity.
