Re: Week 8 - Discussion Forum by Carlos Palma Valladares - Tuesday, 4 June 2024, 2:49 PM Preparing for the Final Exam To prepare for my final exam, I will implement a structured and systematic approach. A week before the exam, I will start by revisiting the instructor’s guidelines regarding the exam content and question types. This will help me focus on the most relevant material. I will review my notes and outlines, ensuring they cover the key points emphasized in class. Creating flashcards for key concepts and reviewing them during downtime will aid in reinforcing my memory. Additionally, I will schedule consistent study sessions throughout the week. Each session will be dedicated to different sections of the course material, allowing me to cover all topics comprehensively. I will prioritize studying in a quiet, well-lit space like the library to minimize distractions. Turning off my phone and avoiding social media will help maintain focus. If I plan on studying for extended periods, I will take short breaks every hour to stay refreshed and maintain productivity. Managing Test-Taking Anxiety I do experience test-taking anxiety, which can be challenging. To manage this, I will practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and mindfulness exercises. These methods help calm my nerves and keep me focused. Another strategy is to simulate exam conditions during my study sessions. By timing myself and working in a quiet environment, I can become more comfortable with the test format and reduce anxiety on the actual exam day. Furthermore, maintaining a healthy routine is crucial. I will ensure I get adequate sleep, eat nutritious meals, and engage in physical activities to keep my body and mind in optimal condition. Staying organized with a study schedule and knowing that I am well-prepared will also boost my confidence and reduce anxiety. By combining these preparation and anxiety-management strategies, I aim to approach my final exam with confidence and perform to the best of my ability.

Assessment 2 - Digital Story and Paper Students are required to produce a 5 minute (4.5mins to 5.5 mins) Digital Story based on their reading and research on the topic: Deficit discourses, Virtual Schoolbags, Turn Around Pedagogies and Teaching. Whilst you do not have to cover all three concepts, you must explicitly engage at least two. The video is to be accompanied by a 1080-1320 (1200) word paper that needs to be prepared using the the pro-forma provided below. There are detailed submission notes provided on this Moodle site. Due 30th March by 11.59pm. Students are required to produce a Digital Story based on their sociological reading and research on the topic: Deficit discourses, Virtual Schoolbags, Turn Around Pedagogies and Teaching. Students are encouraged to emphasise research-based pedagogical initiatives/responses to the issues posed in the video. Adequate time should be provided, in the video, to outlining these initiatives/responses. Don’t rush this part of the video. Please note that you are asked to adopt a sociological perspective in this task and as such psychological and medical issues e.g. ADHD, ASD students, and food allergies, should be avoided. Pedagogical responses in the form of ‘Turnaround Pedagogies’ should also draw upon sociological perspectives, rather than psychological approaches. The textbook, modules and subject readings can help with this. Students are also required to write a 1200-word analysis of the theoretical concepts that they have used to inform their digital story. Your analysis should explicitly refer both to the sociological and pedagogical theory that underpins your story and to specific events depicted in your story. Markers will watch your story and first and read the paper second. Please do not ‘retell’ the events of your story. Instead you should focus on analysing those events, relating them to relevant research and theory, and demonstrating your understanding of differentiation and inclusion. Marking criteria: Understanding of the question or issue and the key concepts involved • Depth of analysis and/or critique in response to the task • Familiarity with and relevance of professional and/or research literature used to support response • Structure and organisation of response • Presentation of response according to appropriate academic and linguistic conventions Rubric For the digital story: - A highly sophisticated understanding of the concept is interwoven skillfully throughout the video. - Highly sophisticated identification and discussion of sociological issue. Strong location of specific practices within social/cultural context - A highly sophisticated and contextualised understanding of social inclusion & relevant research underpins the responses. - The video is highly sophisticated and engaging. It is creative. It features clear ideas, which are skillfully communicated For the 1200 word essay: - A highly sophisticated understanding of the concept/problem is interwoven skillfully throughout the paper. - Sophisticated academic engagement with theory, policy and practice - Uses readings from subject outline and a sophisticated range of highly relevant independent research (e.g. academic literature, policy, media). Analysis is theoretically advanced.
