Abstract

This paper discusses the authors' reflections on the development of a masters unit in a faculty of education. This development, driven by a reflective action framework based on Kemmis and McTaggart's action research spiral, is measured by a qualitative evaluation using three distinct viewpoints: lecturer, educational designer and student. The unit evaluation highlights our 'thematic concerns' of student centredness, reflective practice and designing for active learning as being a cyclical 'action reflection' process. This paper explores the journey taken by the lecturer and educational designer from concept to delivery and the lessons learned through the evaluation of the collaborative and reflective development process. The paper is a follow up to a previous paper that described the development of the unit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
