{"product_id":"9780415662352","title":"Researching Student Learning in Higher Education : A social realist approach (Research into Higher Education)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMany contemporary concerns in higher education focus on the student experience of learning.With a larger and much more diverse intake than ever before, linked with a declining unit of resource, questions are being asked afresh around the purposes of higher education. Although much of the debate is currently focused on issues of student access and success, a simple input-output model of higher education is insufficient. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book turns this conversation on its head, by inserting a full consideration of student agency into the context of higher education.Working sociologically, it explores the influence of the social context on what the individual student achieves. The theoretical tenets of a social realist approach are laid out in detail in the book; the potential value of this approach is then illustrated by a case study of student learning in engineering education.Employing Margaret Archer’s social realist theory, an analysis of student narratives is used to work towards a realist understanding of the underlying mechanisms that constrain and enable student success.Building on this analysis, the book develops a novel set of proposals for potential ways forward in improving student learning in higher education.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52279433593143,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":400.87,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9780415662352-1.jpg?v=1783110192","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/ja\/products\/9780415662352","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
