Promoting Learner Autonomy through Mentoring

Overview

This project aims to evaluate and develop existing SHU mentoring techniques by working with six students who have Asperger Syndrome. Although the Disabled Student Allowance is able to fund mentoring, and research evidence suggests that students do find this useful, there has so far been no systematic interrogation of whether this promotes learner autonomy. The overall goal of this project is to produce good practice guidelines which will have application beyond SHU.
