Using the Generic Learning Outcomes enables you to structure evidence of learning that otherwise may be labelled as unscientific or anecdotal.
Take these steps to reduce bias:
- Use more than one tool - Triangulation
Multiple methods used within one research project can give you data that can be compared and contrasted to give a more detailed, reliable and rounded picture. Using the same method with different types of participant can give you different perspectives on an event, activity or process.
- Be systematic and structured
Use the GLOs to help you structure the learning outcomes when collecting and reporting on your evidence. Work with a colleague to see how your judgement about the GLOs compares with theirs. Over time you will begin to form a systematic way of judging the GLOs yourself.
