This report presents findings and recommendations relating to experiences of students-as-partners (SaP) pedagogy. The research draws on the discipline of Psychology and represents a new approach to the scholarship of teaching and learning regarding partnership with students, through focusing on aspects of learning, feedback, and assessment. In particular, we investigated the impact of teaching and learning methods aimed at fostering partnership in undergraduate students, and estimated how these experiences are perceived by graduates as relating to their current roles. The findings illustrate the value of students-as-partners teaching and learning methods in relation to a range of outcome measures, most notably the development of graduate attributes. We highlight a range of considerations relevant for enabling greater partnership with students; through assessment, dialogue, and experiential learning.

HEA Toolkit on student engagement through partnership
This HEA toolkit has lots of practical advice for engaging students through partnership.
They look at four different areas:
- Learning, teaching and assessment – students as active participants in their learning.
- Curriculum design and pedagogic consultancy – student engagement in formal processes of course design, revalidation and staff development.
- Subject-based research and inquiry – student engagement as co-researchers and co-inquirers within a programme or extra-curricular research projects.
- Scholarship of teaching and learning– student engagement in inquiries into learning, teaching and assessment.
