Student-led peer learning and support: Part 3 - Mapping peer learning and support practices: findings from a sector-wide survey

Abstract

Student-led peer learning and support schemes can provide a vital sense of community and belonging to students in higher education (HE), as well as offer the potential to improve academic confidence and contribute to improved attainment, retention, progression, and completion. Across the HE sector both within the United Kingdom (UK) and internationally, peer learning and support is commonly situated across a variety of institutional contexts, featuring a diverse range of approaches, models, and terminology.

Edited by Dave Lochtie and Dr Catherine McConnell, this compendium of evidence maps the provision of student-led peer learning and support, primarily across the UK HE sector, identifying multiple perspectives, opportunities, challenges, good practice and potential avenues for future research.
