learning then is here partly reconstructed, as the collaborative engagement of mutually supportive teaching teams, in our learning about how we teach and disseminate that learning beyond our disciplinary and professional silos. This in addition to the well documented and evidenced benefits to students in terms of employability and citizenship. The modest proposal which might follow from this observation then might be framed as a question for further discussion and experimentation: How might the human and social sciences effectively adopt and adapt this model of LTA? Video-based feedback improves physiotherapy student self-efficacy and satisfaction in healthcare education Benn Digweed ([email protected]) Abstract: Purpose: To improve the learning of university-based modules and prepare physiotherapy students for clinical placements, students used video recordings of their assessments with real clinical patients. As part of the newly formed Keele University Physiotherapy Clinic more innovative ways of learning which help bridge the gap between the classroom and clinical environments have been trialed. The aim of this project was to evaluate the effect of video-based feedback on physiotherapy students’ self-efficacy and satisfaction in healthcare education. Method Six students who undertook a 12-week placement within the clinics ‘AU Sports injury clinic’ trialed using the video analysis system. Student’s self-efficacy’s overtime and satisfaction were used to measure this feedback tools effectiveness, using a questionnaire and module evaluation form respectively. Results Video-based feedback resulted in meaningful improvements of physiotherapy students’ self-efficacy from Baseline, to weeks 6 and 12. The largest improvement was seen after the first 6 week period. Student feedback, obtained through the module evaluation, indicated high levels of satisfaction associated with teaching which used the video recordings of real clinical 42  cases. Conclusion and Importance: The results of this small study highlight the use of video as a feedback tool for students could give added benefits to the confidence and learning of physiotherapy students. Undergraduate lecture to United Nations: social dimensions of teaching-led research Adam Moolna ([email protected]) Abstract: The research-led teaching paradigm implies directional transfer to students, yet teaching offers fertile territory for co-construction of understanding - and socially grounded research that connects outside the academy. This example of writing an undergraduate lecture for an overview of sustainability aims to make the case for teaching as a social learning opportunity for researchers as well as students. Composing an overview crystalised a narrative highlighting disconnects between scholarship and the emergent Blue Economy approach to ocean-based sustainable development. Wider discussions with students stimulated working towards a peer-reviewed opinion piece. Giving a seminar at the UN Environment Programme headquarters, however, practitioners stressed the urgency for these arguments to feed into the real- time policy process alongside the first global UN conference on the Blue Economy. This timeframe made peer-review unfeasible, so the arguments were published instead as a discussion paper shared by social media (Moolna & Thompson, 2018). This engaged key figures, including the former president of Seychelles who led on establishing the Blue Economy approach at Rio+20. The social processes of such teaching-led research are central to real world impact, as well as to high quality, if we are to embrace the trend for increasing cross-working of universities with society.
