Supporting Student Learning. You will come across these words, spoken by a senior academic, later in this book (Forson, Chapter 11). You may have heard people say the same kind of thing or you may have expressed similar concerns yourself. Lying behind such concerns are dramatic changes which have seen higher education move from an elite to a mass system. Not only are there now many more students in higher education, but they come from far more diverse backgrounds. In accepting many more students, and students with considerable diversity and preparedness for higher education study, comes the question of how they can be supported to succeed.
Supporting Student Learning. One approach is to deny any special responsibility on the part of an institution to help students: as the quote above dramatically expressed, if they struggle, ‘they shouldn’t be at university’. However, most institutions recognize that this leads to unacceptable wastage: wastage of resources in teaching and then failing students, not to mention wastage in terms of the hopes and aspirations of the students themselves. On the other hand, we know that failing students who access learning support programmes often become successful students. The area of student learning support has therefore become a recognized and important aspect of higher education and it is the focus of this book. Supporting Student Learning.
