Plenary talk with Martin Parrott |
Martin Parrott's talk "Learner preferences and affective learning" delt with the factors towards effective learning. According to his research, although affective factors are important, cognitive ones are key. In a questionnarie he gave to his students, cognitive factors got higher scores than affective ones:
 |
Of the five factors students rated as LEAST important, four are affective! (10, 11, 14, 15) |
 |
Of the top eight factors, five are cognitive (2, 3, 6, 9, 12). Nr 8 could be both affective and cognitive. |
In the questionnaire, the last item was "What else helps you to learn?". Most of Parrott's students wrote: "A teacher who is...", and these three characteristics appeared over and over again :-)

Later that day I learnt the basic rules of the game of croquet. I found out I was quite good at it, actually!
