Enhancing teaching and learning through effective feedback and assessment

This video presentation is about students’ perceptions of mathematics as well as statistics and their impact on students’ engagement, enthusiasm and academic self-efficacy. The author has discussed in her presentation the strategies she developed to improve learning and teaching in statistics and mathematics courses designed for non-specialist university students. She has successfully used these strategies in classes consisting of approximately 15 students as well as in lectures to large audiences of over 200 students. She argues that such an approach could enhance students’ perceptions of the subjects and their engagement in teaching rooms. She demonstrates how it can help create and maintain students’ interest in mathematics and statistics as well as promote student interaction in classes and lectures.
