Abstract

Specialist Studies in Education

An outcome from a sectoral benchmarking review of the University of the Sunshine Coast's (USC) approach to the evaluation of learning and teaching recognised the need to change practice related to engaging students in evaluation processes. This paper provides an account of USC's in-progress design of an alternative student feedback process that espouses a Students as Partners mindset. The premise of this mindset is a partnership approach to engage staff and students in the process of student learning and teaching enhancement. Such a mindset offers the possibility for transformative learning experiences that empowers all those involved to be in control of their learning. The challenges to a Students as Partners institutional vision are concerned with creating a shared language of partnership, fostering partnership learning communities, and sustaining transformative learning experiences. Fundamental to this vision is a shift in institutional processes and policies that recognise, promote and reward responsive partnership learning communities.
