Group P

     Watch the presentation Identify the aspects of the presentation that could ( not necessarily will) inform their teaching practice Identify areas for further study Observe Group A’s presentation Feedback to Group A

Streetlaw  Takes legal information into the community  Enhances employability  Constitutes work-based learning  Encourages learning communities  Increases interaction between lecturers and students  Necessitates independent research  BUT do the law students involved actually learn any law?

 How can we tell?

The ‘Sample’  Volunteers, not selected  From across the Law School  All accepted  Mixed ability, age, background

Learning through teaching  Does Streetlaw only work as a learning tool for certain types of learner?

 Do strong positive or negative feelings about the project affect the depth of learning?

The Nature of Student Feedback  Unfocussed without a questionnaire.

 Streetlaw perceived as a teaching rather than a learning experience.

 Self-reflective but not necessarily accurate.

 True?

Student Self-Reflection DVD 10-15 minutes
