Work Based Projects in the Humanities: autonomous learners and satisfied students?
Aims
This project seeks to establish quantifiable evidence of 'worth' for the development of Work Based Learning across the Humanities in terms of student awareness of becoming an autonomous learner; enhancement of degree/university experience and relevance to graduate employability. The project's key objectives are to engage students in a transparent research exercise in assessing their perceptions of self as autonomous learners before, during and after the year long module; examine the suitability of tutor delivery and support for this module; gather feedback from partner/stakeholder agencies on their perception of our students' learning/skills; and to create a researched resource in support of the wider agendas of recruitment, retention and transition to employment.
