  1. Identify valued learning outcomes which include but are not limited to achievement outcomes
  2. Profile: Investigate the nature of the students’ strengths and gaps in relation to valued learning outcomes in detail
  3. Generate hypotheses : collaborate to identify possible explanations for issues (especially teaching)
  4. Test hypotheses using agreed approaches and judge these against agreed criteria
  5. Intervention design: Use research evidence and other expertise to design a solution to the problem you have profiled
  6. Intervention implement and monitor
  7. Evaluate and profiling

Effective selection and use of the research literature

Describe your process for developing hypotheses (hunch) e.g. what you read, who you talked with.

Explain the hypotheses about teaching that you decided were MOST worth testing, and why.

Developing hypotheses about how teaching can be changed to be more effective.

3 of 5
