The third featured Workshop focuses on the Smart Study initiative presented by Rebecca Birch and Emma Macey from the Queenwood in Sydney. Their workshop will take a different angle on how to improve student wellbeing through a focus on the Science of Learning.
With rates of student mental health issues rising in Australia, wellbeing programs have risen to prominence across all sectors. While, many programs focus on the overall mental, emotional, and physical health of students, very few address the significant contributing factor of academic stress. Furthermore, very few wellbeing programs are based on research evidence. The Smart Study team at Queenwood, in collaboration with The Evidence Institute at AISNSW and the School of Education at UNSW are working to change all this. Rebecca and Emma will talk about the ways they are drawing upon research about how students learn to develop student self-efficacy in their independent study.
