CollectivED Working Papers

Support is needed to assist international students to assimilate into their institution of choice, and the broader community. The traditional structures and pedagogies of higher education, specifically teacher-centred approaches to classroom management, fail to maximise on the peer resources within the student group itself. This paper proposes that peer learning is an effective tool to develop communities of learners, by moving the locus of power from the teacher. By facilitating peer learning opportunities, it is possible to create more meaningful engagement and enable international students to develop agency in their learning.
