Verbatim Student Comments

“Another research methods unit with the BEST lecturer EVER!! Very interesting, informative, and just plain BRILLIANT! He made research methods FUN and exciting! The first few slides of each lecture was a great intro which got you motivated to stay for the rest! keep up the great work, I love your motivation!” “Fantastic lecturer! Makes the material fun and interesting (and surprisingly easier to comprehend!)” “Loved the lectures... very entertaining and proved very successful in improving my learning and comprehension of some often very difficult concepts!” “Great lecturer! Very entertaining. Made difficult topics less daunting, more interesting and provided some great examples to enhance understanding. I felt he understood where students are coming from. Approachable, friendly, helpful -‐ really good!” “Best lecturer I've had. He makes the boring lecture content interactive and easy to engage. Fantastic lecturing technique” “Although he is an entertaining character, he is very knowledgeable and really good at teaching and explaining things. His lectures were based on the harder parts of research methods, and I found his teaching helpful in grasping difficult concepts.” “Adam is definitely the most captivating lecturer i have ever had. I have never enjoyed lectures as much as i enjoyed Adam's (despite the dry content of ANOVAs). Fantastic lecturer.. deserves a medal!” “Adam was amazing, very approachable and he made learning fun and explained difficult topics really well. One of the best teachers at Deakin!”

“Amazing lecturer. I would go to any of his classes. An eclectic way of teachings. Loved the style of lectures, hilarious, clear, helpful, informative. The best!”

VIII. COURSE/CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

Developer of a 4th year psychology unit (PSYC401H -‐ Altering Consciousness) at the University of New England. Director and primary developer of the first-‐year Psychology program at Deakin University, which consisted of two subjects: Introduction to Psychology A and B. In addition, developed a 12-‐part first-‐year Psychology tutorial series delivered in a synchronous virtual environment using an online teaching technology referred to as Elluminate-‐live! (E-‐Live!). This led to the formulation of a preliminary 'cyberspatial' pedagogy consisting of effective teaching strategies that were designed to be implemented in an online environment. The aforementioned pedagogy was presented at domestic (Rock, Wilkie, Hooley, & Wig, 2009) and national (Rock, Hooley, & Wilkie, 2009) teaching and learning conferences.

APPENDIX B: STATEMENT OF TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

My teaching is guided by a pedagogy of desire, which focuses on neglected aspects

of teaching and learning (e.g., joy, happiness) in order to catalyse the desire to teach and

learn and, thus, produce teachers and learners who are “creative, imaginative agents”

(Pignatelli, 1999; Zembylas, 2007, p. 340). This principle is particularly pertinent in light of

the observation that for many students the prospect of studying research methods and

statistics is “boring” or “terrifying” (Gal et al., 1997). If learners experience boredom or

anxiety rather than desire, then one might wonder how a teacher of statistics promotes a

pedagogy of desire “…as that which produces and seduces imaginations instead of being

associated simply with repression and coercion” (Zembylas, 2007, p. 332). In the following

paragraphs I explain how I achieve this goal.

My teaching style is energized and passionate. I unpack complex statistical material in

a logical, systematic manner and use humour to instil calm in anxious students. In an

unsolicited Moodle post titled “Shattered preconceptions” dated 4 March 2015 one

student wrote, “If anyone told me two weeks ago that I'd enjoy statistics lectures I'd 've

thought they'd lost their mind. But Adam Rock is animated and passionate and freakin

hilarious. For a subject that could've been banal and tedious, it's refreshing to find it lively

and personable.”

I have worked hard to deliver stimulating lectures using, for example, humorous

anecdotes coupled with analogies grounded in students’ personal experiences. For

example, in one lecture I unpack a statistical test referred to as a correlation, which

ADAM J. ROCK

32

measures the strength of a relationship between two variables. To illustrate the concept

of a correlation, I invoke the character “Barney” from the U.S. sit-‐com “How I met your

mother.” See Figure 1. I describe the episode in which Barney is outlining the relationship

between being hot (i.e., aesthetically pleasing) and crazy. As a class, we discuss that

Barney is arguing that: (1) the correlation is high (i.e., strong); and (2) the direction of the

relationship is positive (i.e., as hotness increases so too does craziness). At this point,

students typically like to offer anecdotes of their past romantic relationships with hot and

crazy individuals. The following representative student feedback supports the

effectiveness of my “real life and relevant examples”: “Dr Rock was able to take what is a

notoriously feared, difficult and very dry subject and add humour, real life and relevant

examples and make the subject fun. Dr. Rock is a fantastic teacher and made me

understand and interested in a subject that just a few months ago absolutely terrified me.

Whatever you pay him, he deserves at least double.” (PSYC202 teaching evaluation,

external, Trimester 1, 2013.)

Figure 1. “Hot and crazy” PowerPoint Slide

I have invested significant effort into producing engaging PowerPoint slides avoiding

clutter and containing fun and meaningful images designed to inspire students to learn.

For example, Figure 2 is a PowerPoint slide from my PSYC202 Introduction lecture. During

ADAM J. ROCK

33

this slide I invite students to gaze into the abyss, a statistical abyss! I pose the following

rhetorical question, “Who would have thought that the squiggly little lines on the right

side of the slide could, for many, constitute such anxiety provoking stimuli?” The idea is to

use humour and a visually engaging slide to acknowledge that many students attending

this lecture are likely to be feeling anxious.

Figure 2. “Gaze into the statistical abyss” Figure 3. “Exorcise your statistical PowerPoint Slide demons!” PowerPoint Slide

The PowerPoint slide depicted above in Figure 3 follows directly the slide depicted in

Figure 2. In this slide, the numbers that I superimposed onto the levitating rabbit are

animated and swirl around the screen as I explain to the students that one of my roles is

to serve as a statistical exorcist; that is, to help them relinquish their statistics anxiety.

This slides provides an opportunity to express to students that I am sensitive to their

anxiety around statistics and that I am a nice, approachable person who is here to help.

The efficacy of my PowerPoint slides is evidenced by the following representative student

feedback: “This is my 4th university degree/diploma and Adam would be hands down the

absolutely best university lecturer I have ever had! He is an amazing lecturer -‐ hugely

knowledgeable but able to impart his knowledge in an engaging, fun and targeted way. I

ADAM J. ROCK

34

was so worried about doing stats!! But I now love this subject so much…His style and his

brilliant powerpoints facilitated my learning.” (PSYC202 teaching evaluation, external, T1,

2014)

I have created and implemented numerous innovative demonstrations to inspire

students to learn. For example, in statistics lectures I will invite a volunteer from the

audience to pour a carton of milk into a saucer and then write a cat’s name (e.g., “Felix”)

on a slip of paper and place the paper in the saucer. I say to the class: “Felix initially

appeared quite dehydrated but now he seems replenished!” Students invariably laugh

and I ask them what is humorous about this scenario. The students explain that writing a

cat’s name on a piece of paper does not constitute a real cat. I say, “Yes!” I suggest that

the linguistic term (i.e., word) “cat” is a signifier that is referentially linked to an object

(i.e., the signified) in the external world with whiskers, fur, a tail and a tendency to

“meow.” I further state that,

feeding milk to a linguistic term is an example of confusing the signifier with the

signified. It would seem to follow that I have never seen a number and, in fact,

don’t know what a number is. Why? If I were to write, for example, “8” on the

board, then this would constitute a symbol (i.e., the signifier) that is referentially

linked to a number (i.e., the signified). However, to assert that “8” is a number is

to confuse the signifier with the signified just like I confused the slip of paper with

“Felix” written on it with the physical object in the external world.

This demonstration encourages students to reflect critically on the nature, essence and

existence of numbers and, thus, statistics.

In another demonstration I elucidate the relationship between the reliability (i.e.,

consistency) and validity (i.e., accuracy) of psychological tests (e.g., an intelligence or IQ

test). I invite a volunteer from the audience up on stage. I tell the students that I have

developed an innovative new method for measuring a person’s IQ. I pull out a tape

measure and measure the circumference of the volunteer’s head. On three separate

occasions I demonstrate that the circumference is, for example, 24 inches, so, I say, “Lets

conclude that our volunteer’s IQ is 24.” I further state that, “My innovative measure of IQ

is reliable because I obtained the same result on three separate occasions. However, my

method is not valid because an inch is not a metric that is interchangeable with an

intelligence quotient or IQ score. Thus, if a measure is reliable it does not necessarily

follow that it is valid.”
