Abstract
With a general aim to improve the teaching/learning in large-scale classes on educational media and teaching methods at teacher-training colleges or departments, we teachers, as researchers, implemented the use of Communication cards, in which our students wrote their comments on the contents of the teaching and the way it is conducted. We teachers responded to their feedback in the following classes, and this cycle was continued throughout the course. This study is a report on bthe content of this activity. It is shown that, judging from the analysis of the comments made by the students and of the questionnaire distributed to them, this activity (1) made them aware that there is continuity in their learning and contributed to the improvement of the classes since we teachers were able to know what the students understood and what they did not on the teaching, (2) motivated the students for the next classes and created an atmosphere in which the teaching and learning take place as a result of cooperation between teachers and students, and (3) provided the students with opportunities to recognize the important roles of teachers and to reexamine their thoughts on the practice of teaching.
