The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

This project sought to understand better the motivations and expectations of students engaging in higher education post-pandemic. Adopting a visual research approach, data in the form of sketches (n=120) was collected from incoming first year students as to their representation of higher education, their current self-image and desired outcome of completion. Our research questioned 1. Whether representations presented by students arriving post pandemic indicted a significant alteration of expected experience to what has been seen as conventional university education; 2. To gain insight into role that students assigned to themselves as learners within higher education in their sketches; 3. The transformation of self that students expected to experience as a result of engaging in higher education.
