Implementing Inquiry to Engage Student Voices: A Learning Investigation

Abstract

On May 9, the students in my course completed the end of course survey for the chosen objectives determined to monitor if student expectations for the course met my perceptions regarding how I thought I was meeting those same objectives.

Twenty-five out of 27 of the students replied to the end of course survey.

Below, survey results from the students are followed by a brief narrative addressing each area. The narratives are summaries of my journal entries throughout the semester. Overall, I was happy to note that the majority of student responses matched my own feelings regarding my perceptions of my performance in class. It is nice to have these “answers” so that I can feel more confident in my ability to meet my students’ needs.
