FASTECH• Students engaged in the
developmental/research process as student fellows
• Received training on data collection and analysis
• Given room to explore best practice regarding the use of technology within the process of assessment and feedback
• Identified a range of solutions with programme teams to choose from.

The Self-Determination Theory (Deci and Ryan, 1985; Ryan and Deci 2000)
• Autonomy • Competence• Relatedness• Extrinsic rewards undermine the
intrinsic motivation of individuals• Research also showed no marks =
better learning (Black and Williams, 1998),
What is the underpinning theory that can be applied to all student engagement…

A UK HE goal is to develop critical, independent, autonomous and lifelong learners
• When students are engaged in the dialogue and literature of learning, transformations happen from their choices, inputs and shifts in perspective.
• How much do our assumptions of students play a part in how we treat and relate to them across HE contexts?
• Don’t we want to inspire independent learning in our students so they are empowered to challenge our own beliefs, assumptions and worldviews…
and then the world in which they exist?
