abstract |
Students on work-based professional programmes experience a range of challenges in
their learning and are often required to move between roles to balance their personal,
work and study lives. This small-scale qualitative action research considers factors
that help and hinder distance learning nursing students in establishing their student
role identity. It reveals that students value recognition by work colleagues of their
formal learner status and benefit from the peer support of other students within face-to-face
and on-line tutorials. The paper draws out the risk-laden nature of embarking on professional
education programmes as an experienced but unqualified practitioner. It argues that
the support structures within both sponsoring employer organisations and higher education
institutions, necessary to underpin successful learning, need to be flexible and student-centred.
Encouraging the development of study skills and good academic ‘habits’, as a form
of psychological stroking (Hartwell and Farbrother, 2006), is central to building
learner confidence. |
