Example reflection – Learning launch

Challenge

Secondary level of education is very important for every students. Especially their performances in  examination determine their status, cleverness, logical thinking etc. I am owner of a secondary  educational institution in my village and starting level of entrepreneur as well. And there are eight  (8) teachers and more than 100 students in my institution. And my challenge is to improve student’s  examination grade or performance. I will focus on what our teacher’s and student’s activities  considering to be ineffective with regard to the student’s examination grade or performance. As far  as I know, Students those who studying in my institution are average level of students and they  belongs to rural area. And I can sure that they don’t have quality of education too.

Selection

I and my teachers of this institution had analysed several design thinking tool but, it was better to try  the Learning launch tool. And learning launch tool leads to the experiment. We can test the idea as  soon as possible.

Application

I started to my learning launch, first and foremost I gave more prioritization and consideration  regarding the facilities and looks of my institution such as available wide space , comfortable table  and chair , fan or air conditioner and etc. Then I wanted to see if I could update my institution look  like a modern institution in an effort to make the student more active and interesting to study. This  tested the assumption that, this updating were the one of the causes of student’s grade or  performance challenge. Not only but also I introduced the smart board system in each class room  while students can access relevant practical videos which are related to what they have studied in  class room and this video lectures will simply explain with great analogy as well. And those set of  videos was made by our panel of teachers and old students which took almost six months to create  and complete all videos. And we had created this videos in order to understand the study concept in  free of charge as well.

In addition, I focused on changing the teaching methodology of our teachers look like a friendly  manner and explaining relevant analogy to understand whole concepts. For that we have conducted  a workshop for our teachers with experts. We specially advised the teachers that you all must give  sufficient concern to each and every student in order to clear their doubts and misunderstanding of  study materials. And I have appointed a teacher who is specialize in student counselling regarding  the student’s examination fear and frustration. This tested my assumption that, attractive teaching  methodology was the main cause of our student’s grade or performance challenge. Personally by  myself conducted an observation of teacher’s teaching style and student’s response after the new  implementations.

Insight

By applying the learning launch tool, at the very beginning students surprised about new updating  and aesthetic view of our institution. As I expected I can able to realise the interesting faces on all  students. And also I never increase fees of students after the updating of my institution as well.  Which is also plus point to the students. And teachers also shared the great effort in attractive  teaching style and involved in individual concern about students including contacting frequent  assessments and small exams. And eventually we contacted the year end examination. As I  expected, almost every student got excellent grades. By myself found out the students who  struggled financially to study in my institution, I gave an opportunity to those students and said that  if you all get the highest grade in upcoming examinations I will release you from fees. And after that  they got best results in those examinations.

Approach

I already gone through different design thinking tools but learning launch is the best and appropriate  tool. I can review the insight gained from my launches. Future launch designs make impact on  student’s grade or performance in the examinations. An attractive approach in teaching will leads to  the student’s great performance. Not only but also, more students may get admission in my  institution this also added advantage financially for me. This approach is like Losing one and gaining  other.
