Full Description
This book offers an insight into current-day Student as Partners (SaP) practice, presenting reflections by staff and students from global institutions. Student as Partners (SaP) is a practice that involves creating partnerships with students to create their learning journey. It enables student empowerment by giving them agency and a space creating student voice, and allows for close connections and quick feedback on teaching practices and policies. In the past ten years, there has been a rise in SaP practices in Australian higher education institutes, and a swell in dedicated scholarship from educators and researchers, reflecting an appetite for student-led approaches to higher education. Born from the (inter) national Students as Partners Roundtable from 2023, this book engages with "Respect, Reciprocity and Responsibility" (Cook-Sather et al., 2014) as central themes within Student-Staff partnerships. It brings together reflections from students and educators, as well as doctoral candidates operating in a sort of "middle ground." This book also expands on current literature, with reflections on SaP practices across the Asia-Pacific region sitting alongside those from the United Kingdom, North America, and South Africa.
