20. Triple Impact Feedback with Dipesh Vadher
In this episode of "Educate to Self-Regulate," we dive deep into the world of self-regulated learning with the delightful addition of Dipesh Vader, substituting Rory's Irish charm with his own British flair. This marks the second episode of our third season, where we've begun integrating insights from practitioners in the field to enrich our educational community. Dipesh, with a robust background in teaching and leading in the UK and Australia, shares his expertise in self-regulated learning and the science of motivation, shedding light on his innovative "Triple Impact Feedback" approach. This method, evolved from the UK's triple impact marking, emphasises meaningful, actionable feedback over mere marking, encouraging students to engage actively with their learning process. Dipesh's approach uses visual cues (think pink, go green) to foster a deeper understanding and application of knowledge, proving especially effective in his examples from teaching forces to Year 7 students. Furthermore, Dipesh and Shyam discuss practical strategies for both teachers and students to enhance their self-regulation skills, offering insights into their personal practices for staying engaged and reflective. Whether you're a teacher looking to refine your feedback methods or a student seeking strategies to improve your learning, this episode provides valuable perspectives on fostering a more interactive and supportive educational environment. Join us as we explore these innovative approaches to teaching and learning, aimed at making feedback more impactful and learning more self-directed.Remember to subscribe to Educate to Self-Regulate to receive updates on future episodes.
