Defining Student Engagement Caroline Heaton Dr Helen Kay Student Experience Team, QESS set@shu.ac.uk Learning and Teaching Conference 11th July 2012
The representation of the student view, by formal and informal mechanisms QAA Code of Practice: B5 Deliberate steps to engage all students… as partners in the assurance and enhancement of their educational experience http://www.qaa.ac.uk/Publications/InformationAndGuidance/Pages/quality-code-B5.aspx
How do we…? … create and maintain and environment within which students and staff engage in discussions that aim to bring about demonstrable enhancement of the educational experience? (Indicator 2) … engage in evidence-based discussions based on the mutual sharing of information? (Indicator 5) … disseminate and jointly (with students) recognise the enhancements made to the student educational experience, and the efforts of students in achieving these successes? (Indicator 6)
How do we…? … ensure that student representatives and staff have access to training and ongoing support to equip them to fulfil their roles in educational enhancement and quality assurance effectively? (Indicator 4) And finally… What is our definition of student engagement within this context (or more broadly)? Should we draw together our principles and objectives for working with the student voice and student engagement in learning, within one framework?
