What makes learning stimulating? Surveying student views

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Every year students at Balwyn High School (BHS) are required to take a survey called the Attitudes to School Survey, which is administered to all Victorian government schools. One facet of the survey measures the extent to which students feel that they experience 'stimulating learning'. In 2011, the BHS SRC created a survey called the Stimulating Learning Survey. From the survey results, the SRC recommended changes to teacher practice, which have been implemented in professional development sessions from the beginning of 2012. This article provides views on both surveys, first from a student/SRC perspective and secondly from a teacher perspective. [Author abstract, ed]
