Aim: to support students in their learning
How: potential gaps in a student’s study skills should be addressed through targeted skills development within the curriculum rather than as bolt-ons e.g. include as a learning outcome, module content, provide in transition weeks to prepare students for the next stage of study.
During a lecture ask students to swop / compare notes (provides a break and develops note-taking skills)
Considerations:
- What are the skills required? E.g. digital literacy, academic writing, numeracy, listening, note-taking, time management, literature searching
- Where are these skills addressed and assessed (formative feedback or summative assessment)?
- Support a growth versus fixed mind set
- Provide opportunity to pursue subjects at depth, choice over subjects and study method
