KUL2012

1. To what extent did KUL2012 reach its goals?

Matrisfråga

- c. too early to say d. did not participate in these»
- Take away the administration and we have possibly 100 teachers at KUL out of some 1500 teachers at Chalmers. Too few but the number is increasing!»
- There was more space for discussion this year which was good. Hwoever, there were alot fewer presentations than last year which was a little disappointing.»
- ??Is question b really a goal for the KUL-conference?? I thougt feedback on their teaching was given by the students in ordinary course evaluations...»
- Too much one way communication. In more than one direction perhaps, but not room for substanital interaction.»
- teachers in general at Chalmers or teachers attending KUL?»
- If formal pedagogical qualification means giving an oral or poster presentation, or writing a paper, then 3, if not, 1.»
- I didn"t really hear teachers getting feedback on their teaching or their CA. Most of the discussions I heard where of a different character and as always there was a fair bit of whining.»
- As far as I remember, constructive alignment was not on the agenda.»
- The long planned time for discussions made exchange of experience promoted. I do not have enough input to rate all questions.»
- I am not a teacher, so some of my answers is what I think - not what I exactly know. »
- inspired.»
- KUL2012 uppfattade jag som mindre givande än KUL2011, främst för att föredragen 2012 inte var lika intressanta som 2011. Jag tycker heller inte att de föredrag jag var på tillförde något väsentligt vad det gäller problematiken kring implementeringen av Constructive Alignment (CA), trots att jag försökte välja de presentationer där CA skulle tas upp. För övrigt tycker jag nog att de abstract jag läst innan KUL-dagen inte alltid hade samma fokus som det som presenterades.»

- I don"t understand the question.» (?)
- I really dont understand the question...» (1)
- To much general stuff, not enough ideas that I feel I can apply in my teaching.» (2)
- It is still only a small percetange of all teachers that participate» (3)
- Only pedagogy freaks attend.» (3)
- inclusive: everyone is invited to attend and to submit exclusive: » (3)
- Some speaches were too worried about their own subject. And there were ppl in the audience who started to argue about where in a programme that particular course would fit rather than discussing the pedagogical techniques and how they could be applied in other fields. I also think some in the audience (esp. physics) liked putting the speacher on the spot - asking questions to make him look stupid.» (3)
- Om man menar "inclusive" inom Chalmers.» (3)
- The choice of word "exclusive" can be missleading here! "Very fine" is an alternative meaning to "Not inclusive".» (3)
- Very open atmosphere, but for many discussions I felt the need for more beckground information of both science and systemso comprehend everything.» (3)
- Seemed like all groups were represented.» (4)
- there were a range of different people» (4)
- Very inclusive in its organisatin and openness to all teachers. Yet I felt too strong a focus on constructive alignment. It is not the only thing to think about when it comes to teaching, and I felt that other questions are overshadowed by constructive alignement ideology. » (4)

- Some people have very naïve ideas about what teaching and learning is, and what the relationship between the two are, but that is also why the conference is so badly needed. There were also some really good presentations at the conference, and I think the idea of having a keynote speaker makes a lot of sense. It would be nice if we could use that keynote speaker or a team of commentators to briefly comment on what they have heard during the day towards the end. Such a session has to be short (10-15 minutes) but that would be a nice way of giving people something to think about for the future.» (2)
- It"s not crucial to have world class presentations, it"s more important to have a vital and living discussion and a platform to meet.» (2)
- hard to scale quality content - according to goals mentioned above or in relation to other conferences? i chose the latter» (2)
- I"m not quite sure the criteria had the impact that may have been intended + a surprising number of participants could do with polishing presentation skills ...» (2)
- Straggly, high and low» (2)
- Good quality. People attending are generally well read in the area of teaching and learning.» (3)
- V. mixed ( as expected)» (3)
- Most presentations were good» (3)
- Most talks I attented were interesting.» (3)
- Could be even higher quality in the sessions» (3)
- The quality of content varied from session to session. However in these early stages of implementation of the conference it is more important to promote teachers to actually participate in the colleagual discussion rather to hold a world class quality.» (3)
- stor skillnad i kvalitetsnivå men jag gillade det» (3)
- Quality varied. Some were very good.» (3)
- I think KUL should be a forum for teachers at Chalmers to discuss, communicate and exchange their teachng experience. The goal of KUL should be a bit different from publishing in international conferences and journals. » (3)
- Jag tycker inte att kvalitetskraven skall vara alltför höga för då avskräcks våra lärare från att försöka vara med.» (3)
- Some poster pitched were of fairly low quality.» (3)
- Most of it well worked through and interesting. Though some was of a more speculative nature, with the discussions the most developing parts.» (3)
- It"s not necessarily the very high quality that is needed, but rather an increased average quality. It should not be about elitism but rather about getting the average teacher to continously want to improve his/her pedagogical/didactical skills.» (3)
- I belive that the quality drop a little the further the day went.» (3)

5. Which new thoughts for your own teaching have KUL2012 induced?

- How to vary assessments»
- To concentrate even more on the pupils learning outcome.»
- See previous question»
- TO continue as we are doing! The discussions I went to reflected the interests and concerns that we have.»
- Only for the future, if we have students with a lack of confidence to cope with their studies and with out support, what kind of engineers will then take on wicked problems in the future? Thoughts connected to Marie Bernelo"s presentation»
- Many new thougths»
- Not entirely new, but anyway: to let students act as teachers ("TICKING") seems to be a good idea, and I am thinking of implementing it.»

- Nothing directly related to the presentations, but I started reflecting on other issues that I will try next time (more student interaction). »

- To explore more the use of pingpong. But Pingpong is still not so easy to navigate. »
- The difficulty colleagues face as they embark on CA simply because there is (rarely) any discussion between course managers on a programme.»
- Thinking more about the process in writing and presenting: How can these aspects be more elaborated in ILOs and assessment. How should be give feedback to the students in a good way. 3 sentences!»
- Möte över gränserna ger mer»
- I want to try ticking and systematic feedback. I also want to test Ulf Jäglids ideas of learning by teaching in other settings than Chalmers, like Universeum.»
- I have been inspired to work more on the examination part of my courses.»

- Sorry to say this but the topic doesn´,t fit me so well so there was quite few new thoughts.»

- But not through the conference.» (Yes)
- Yes and now, I haven"t got a topic yet.» (Yes)

- Yes and yes.»
- More presentations, more variety to choose from.»
- Smaller groups in sessions.»
- If I remember right, the talks were somewhat shorter - some of the talks I attended this year did not need all the time scheduled.»
- More presentations (I believe?) More topics that I found related to my teaching. More hands on ideas. »
- Själva byggnaden med "små" rum skapade hemtrevligare atmosfär. Men å andra sidan så var det väldigt smidigt att byta sal i år (2012) och alla rymdes i den största salen. Så det kanske trots allt inte var "bättre förr".»
- Chalmerska huset is difficult to beat.»
- -»
- Higher quality in the parallel sessions»
- Did not attend KUL last year»
- -»
- The venue. Even though Chalmerska Huset is old fashioned, it is cosy and has flexibility in space. Also, there was not enough lunch for everyone this year.»
- huset - det gav en trevlig känsla och uppmuntrade till prat»
- Almost the same»
- A wider variety of topics.»
- Kind of liked the venue better last year and the food (lunch) was better too. I also got the impression (not verified) that there were more sessions last year and a larger number of participants. Having said that, it was a good crowd anyway.»
- Chalmerska huset is a beatiful and nice place to have a conference at.»
- Chalmersska huset är trevligare att vara i, men det var för litet. Speciellt var det kass under lunchen.»

- Det är bättre att ha jämnare rumsstorlek så att man kan välja på stående fot och det är bra att ha rummen nära varandra så att man lätt kan byta. Det kändes mindre stressigt i år. Bättre med rejäla kaffepauser. Förra året var det så många parallella sessioner - bättre att inte ha alltför många. Förra året en del talare som fick väldigt få åhörare besvikna på det.»
- The conference site, much better conference rooms this year. »
- Innehållet, men eftersom det var år 2 så är det inte riktigt rättvist. Superbra konferens, värdefull för Chalmers»
