Hello All,

 

I am new to the network – in as much as I haven’t posted before, but do read avidly in the sidelines, so hello! J

 

I am currently thinking about the ways in which we, as learning advisers (but broadly as institutions), can encourage students to engage as partners in their academic development (or shall we say the skills and competencies needed to achieve deeper learning of their subject) and I would really value hearing about any great ideas you have in your hubs? Of course I am familiar with many of the seminal texts around the value (or not) of Study Skills as a model, but I am very keen to hear about the very pragmatic steps we can take to improve engagement in this area.

 

How far can reflecting on your learning bring about a deeper engagement? Has there been success in your experience in engaging students with content, structure and delivery of ‘study skills’ type provision either stand-alone or embedded in the curriculum?

 

All thoughts will be gratefully received! J

 

Ruth
