10. Learning and Research Skills
10.1 Our curricula at undergraduate level should equip students with the skills to engage in critical enquiry and should promote an increasing independence in their learning. This should lead to PGT curricula that enable critical thinking and develop self-directed learning. Most importantly, such skills should be embedded within the curricula generally and consideration should be given in every module to ways in which learning and research skills might be appropriately developed. In addition, though, a specific study skills module should normally be provided in the first year of undergraduate degrees. This would be credit bearing and form part of the 120 credits of the first year. At PGT level a similar module should be provided as part of the curricula where this is deemed appropriate, or provided as a ‘stand alone’ module that carries credit, though the credit would not contribute to the final award.
10.2 It is proposed that learning and research skills be embedded and evidenced within UG and PGT curricula.
LGoS believes
- The Guild is generally very supportive of this. It is important that students at a Research intensive university are adequately prepared to undertake studies at a research intensive university, and this has to go beyond simply our admissions processes.
- It is important, however, to remember that success in a research intensive university also comes down to the pastoral support that the University provides. We would suggest a review of the pastoral role of Personal Tutors to complement the Curriculum Review proposals. We would also wish to see the work going into the creation of a peer mentoring scheme complement all these proposals.
What kind of Learning and Research skills would you appreciate right now? Do you feel adequately prepared to undertake studies at this University?
Is there anything else you would like to add about this proposal? E-Mail: Edward.Moloney@liv.ac.uk
