”On BOUNCE! Practice based feedback” by Ninnie Andersson

The title ‘Practice based feedback’ refers to formative assessment that takes place during feedback in teaching situations. The purpose of the project is to develop knowledge about knowing that is expressed in a physical form and to develop methods on a scientific basis that can strengthen teaching practices in the school subjects
of dance and theater. The questions raised aim to make visible which aspects of knowing are paid attention to in the feedback situation and to implement learning situations to help develop teaching practice. The analyses will show how the teacher adapts to different student ́s particular needs and can create whole-class teaching of those situations, on bounce. The analyses bring forward scientifically based teaching examples and develops a subject specific language. The design of the study is based on an innovative method, action (re) call, which provides opportunities to stop and pause in the feedback situations and ask questions to teachers and / or students. The method Stimulated recall will then be used for in-depth conversations about those situations. Full- class teaching will be carried out based on the situations with the support of a teaching theory, the variation theory. Teachers and students at Schillerska Gymnasium in Gothenburg and Fryshuset Gymnasium in Stockholm are participating in the project. The teacher ́s team at each school already has prior knowledge of the variation theory, which has also been a selection criterion.
