Hot Topic Theme: Student Agency and Teamwork
Are you looking for different ways of introducing students to teamwork? Preparing students for teamwork is time well invested because teamwork is a social activity that does not happen automatically. One strategy for teamwork preparation is using short films to trigger self-reflection and collective action. Films can be used as a case study analysis. They are a great medium that is non-threatening, creative and fun. In this workshop we will generate ideas together on how to use them as a preparation resource to strengthen student agency and the capacity for doing teamwork.
Participants will learn to use short films as a:
- Preparation tool for team building
- Safe medium for students to practise critiquing teamwork scenarios
- Strategy to stimulate self-reflection, empathy and team agency
- Pre-teamwork assessment task.
