What led to this learning?
Year 7/8 Learners were reluctant to collaborate with learners outside of their immediate friend group. We wanted to build into their learning the concept of diverse perspectives.
Summary of learning design:
Learners were told that the world was about to be hit by an asteroid and they had to design a future colony on Mars! Learners were assigned a group and had to research and pitch an idea for how they believed the colony should work
Reflection on Learning Design
This went really well for some, but not equally well for everyone! 'Below' and 'At' literacy learners demonstrated a significant shift (up to 16%) in their self perception of collaboration whereas Above and Well Above learners didn't respond as well. Boys also shifted way more positively than girls, despite girls having a higher self perception to start with.
