In 2002, Dr Cheryl Travers set up a module to fill what she perceived as a gap in Learning and Teaching from her experience of being an academic occupational psychologist. This gap was the extent to which the SBE finalists have developed their \u2018soft\u2019 skills in their final year after their placement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/teaching-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/01\/DSC_0217.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3455 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/teaching-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/01\/DSC_0217-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/teaching-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/01\/DSC_0217-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/teaching-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/01\/DSC_0217-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/teaching-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/01\/DSC_0217-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/teaching-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/01\/DSC_0217-448x300.jpg 448w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/teaching-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/01\/DSC_0217.jpg 1936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Her research is about her \u2018Reflective goal setting model\u2019 and the module puts this into practice- asking students to reflect on themselves, set goals, use the \u2018power of written reflection\u2019 to measure the impact of those goals. She asks the students to write a diary which for the first time this year will take the form of an electronic portfolio thanks to her new innovative system for students to log their thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion that followed focused mostly on her actual pedagogic research, and how other disciplines can apply her reflective goal setting model, from Arts students to STEM students, and even students wishing to learn a language while at University.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, it was an enjoyable afternoon with lively discussion, an abundance of food, and a wonderful talk by Dr Cheryl Travers.
