Description
The following staff will present their work in this area:
Shelley Li, LUBS; Samantha Pugh, School of Mathematics;
PASS (Peer Assisted Study Sessions) were introduced in the 2010/11
academic session to the Business School and similarly PAL (Peer Assisted
Learning) was introduced in the School of Mathematics respectively. The
main focus of the scheme was to supplement traditional methods of
teaching with student-centred and student-directed collaborative group
learning, to improve study skills and enable students to develop a range
of employability skills such as group leadership. Shelley and Samantha
will give a brief overview of PASS/PAL and its history
Slawomir Raszewski, School of Politics and International Studies
(POLIS).
Over the past few years, POLIS has gradually grown, tested and resourced
a series of initiatives in Student Led Discussion (SLED) and learning.
Students have themselves further developed these initiatives, resulting
in what is now a network of student-led discussion groups that span all
three undergraduate levels. These groups give students a space to engage
in open discussion, explore their understanding of module content and
benefit from the input of their peers. It actively supports and
encourages the transition from early stage first year student learning
to developed third year participation in research-led learning. In the
presentation, Slawomir will focus on current developments and prospects
of the SLED learning and teaching.
