Transitions and transformations: ways of conceptualising specific contributions by learners in higher education to the development of active citizenship (2003)
Presentation / Conference
Jones, I. (2003, September). Transitions and transformations: ways of conceptualising specific contributions by learners in higher education to the development of active citizenship. Presented at Education in a Changing Environment, University of Salford, UK

In this paper I argue that giving voice to learners’ reflections on their experiences emphasises the complexity of the relationship between national policy objectives and local practices. A critical social science perspective is applied to an evaluat...

Supporting student 'success': what can we learn from the persisters? (2003)
Presentation / Conference
Roberts, C., Oakey, D., Watkin, M., & Fox, R. (2003, September). Supporting student 'success': what can we learn from the persisters?. Presented at Education in a Changing Environment: Inaugural Learning and Teaching Research Conference, University of Salford, UK

It is suggested that the current research focus on withdrawal from the first year in higher education (HE) provides a limited account of what may influence persistence. In particular it provides little account of how persistence is facilitated in the... Read More about Supporting student 'success': what can we learn from the persisters?.

Using 3D modelling and dynamic thermal simulation software tools to facilitate student understanding of complex principles in 'passive' building design: an experiential learning approach (2003)
Presentation / Conference
Dowdle, D. (2003, September). Using 3D modelling and dynamic thermal simulation software tools to facilitate student understanding of complex principles in 'passive' building design: an experiential learning approach. Presented at Education in a Changing Environment, University of Salford

Students today are much more PC and IT literate than their counterparts of five or ten years ago. The huge increase in Internet usage, PC's in schools and interactive game play are surely a contributory factor in this. Students enjoy using IT, both d...
