This seminar provided an opportunity to launch a report on how the shifting policy landscape particularly in relation to fee increases has affected students’ approaches to higher education.
Dr Michael Tomlinson will seek to broaden our understanding of how contemporary students approach their learning including their attitudes motivations and orientations towards formal learning in HE. He will explore the extent to which students’ goals and expectations are framed by the changing policy context and how this shapes approaches to learning in higher education. Also to what extent do students see themselves as ‘consumers’ of an educational service and product within a market-driven system or are there potentially alternative approaches to the learner experience in higher education?
