dc.description.abstract | In the Fall of 2005, the Faculty of Education at Lakehead University
implemented a twelve-week program aimed at providing non-traditional students
an experience in higher education. The purpose of this study was to describe the
perspective of the students on a) how well the program achieved its objectives, and
b) how the program could be improved. Fourteen graduates were interviewed after
completing the program. Results revealed that the objectives of the pilot program
were accomplished. Recommendations for improvement included developing a
pedagogy that is more appropriate for non-traditional learners and offering a
genuine university-level experience by adjusting the expectations to better reflect
the expectations of a true university course. Implications of results are discussed. | |
