ABSTRACT

In England, more students from a wider range of backgrounds participate in higher education than in previous generations. This has led to a focus on how students from diverse backgrounds can fit better with existing higher education institutions. This is often framed in terms of ‘deficits’ that these students have to overcome to more closely resemble the ‘implied’ or ‘ideal’ students around which institutions are, often unconsciously, modelled. We flip this focus by thinking about how educational institutions can evolve in response to diverse students. We use the theoretical lens of the hidden curriculum to explore student perceptions of ‘ideal’ students. Findings are based on research with eight students as co-researchers and 24 further student participants in an academically selective English higher education institution. We find that there are many aspects of hidden or assumed practices within universities students encounter when first coming to higher education. Focusing specifically on learning environments and curricula, we found that ideas about an implied student were evident in the institution, that this mattered for the experience of learning – and that consciousness of hidden processes helps. We conclude by suggesting that instead of focusing on how to change students to fit institutions, institutions need to be open and adaptable to all students.

理想的高等教育学生:了解隐藏的课程以实现机构变革

摘要

在英格兰,与前几代人相比,来自更广泛背景的学生参加高等教育。这导致人们关注于来自不同背景的学生如何更好地适应现有的高等教育机构。这些问题通常是根据“缺陷”来界定的,这些学生必须克服这些缺陷才能更类似于通常在不知不觉中对其进行建模的“隐含”或“理想”学生。我们通过思考教育机构如何应对多样化的学生而改变这一重点。我们使用隐藏课程的理论视角来探索学生对“理想”学生的看法。调查结果是基于对某所具有学术选择性的英国高等教育机构中的八名学生作为共同研究者以及另外24名学生参加者的研究得出的。我们发现,初次上大学的学生在大学中会遇到很多隐藏的或假定的做法。我们特别关注学习环境和课程,发现有关隐性学生的想法在学校中很明显,这对学习经验很重要-隐性过程的意识会有所帮助。我们的结论是,建议机构应该专注于对所有学生开放并适应所有情况,而不是着重于如何使学生适应机构的变化。这对学习的体验很重要-隐藏过程的意识会有所帮助。我们的结论是,建议机构应该专注于对所有学生开放并适应所有情况,而不是着重于如何使学生适应机构的变化。这对学习的体验很重要-隐藏过程的意识会有所帮助。我们的结论是,建议机构应该专注于对所有学生开放并适应所有情况,而不是着重于如何使学生适应机构的变化。
