Slide8Results cont.…
Expected resultsStudents that adopted surface approach and habitual action to learning tend to have lower academic performance
Reflection and critical reflection are determined by deep approach to learning while
Slide9Results cont.…
Surprise resultStudents who are critical and reflective are not necessarily rewarded in terms of marks
Slide10Tentative conclusions
The use of RTQ in real estate subject domain is questionable
Possible influence of “noise” factors not been accounted in this study
i.e. students can do well in some modules but not in others
Appropriateness of assessment criteria
Slide11Thanks for listening!
