Thrive 33 - what feedback lead to innovative outcomes?

 This year, five of my students concurred with D&T awards. I wonder if it is my student's innate ability or something that I had done in terms of the feedback given.

Student Ax - widening the gap for student A to fill by expecting aesthetically appealing and yet simple design

Student Jz - "forcing" student to work with what remains after mistakes made during realisation instead of redoing

Student N - co-triggering of ideas - When student ideas triggered your ideas, re-trigger their idea towards yours without telling them it's your idea

Student S - Playing with the material and its structure- why a watch cannot be made of wood? Design awareness and movement

Student D - what value can you add to an ordinary product?

How can we train students to provide feedback that lead to creative thoughts?

How dialogic feedback come back about deeper understanding for both the teacher and the students?

e.g balancing your physical and intellectual growth - reading book shelve.

2024 Thrive 3 - Self-evaluation of sketching using pen

First lesson with 2I (80-min) 20 pax (10 boys & 10 girls) - The use of Ideo video as a resource to test current students' design capability through reflection was not carried out. It is more of checking for understanding rather than facilitating self-reflecting as a class community. If I were to do it again, how can self-assessment be better embedded in the activity and facilitated? How to design a worksheet that embeds self-assessment? You see what we draw so we can improve our drawing - use a pen not pencil. In my research in 2018, it appears that student improves their sketching faster when they sketch with a pen. Why? they can't erase. They dare to explore  (1) Diagnostic assessment of sketching. Students at this age can identify if their observation sketch is accurate. When they are directed to evaluate their first attempt of sketching from observation using rules (isometric or perspective rule). All followed my instructions to improve. However, a 3 uses correction ta...

My reflection with AI about the STEM project

 I have just completed a STEM workshop with my students. I would like to reflect about this workshop to any of you. ChatGPT That sounds great, Joon Yong! How did the workshop go? What activities did you and your students work on, and what were some key moments or challenges you encountered? 4o We are working on building a chair using a cardboard. The requirement is to be able to withstand three kilos of weight, and also have a leg that is 15 cm long. However, based on my knowledge about knowledge building, I decided for them to make a wheelchair that the humans can sit on. ChatGPT It sounds like you extended the challenge to make it more engaging and relevant. How did your students respond to the new requirement of designing a wheelchair? Did they come up with any innovative ideas or encounter any specific difficulties? 4o Indeed, the outcome surprises us. Everyone is game to attempt, and all the groups have come up with a real-size chat at the end of the day. ChatGPT That's impres...
