A narrative approach to considering the role of the lecturer in developing autonomy in final year undergraduates
Abstract
This paper reviews the process of adopting a collaborative approach to enabling final year students to develop autonomy through the use of a negotiated learning plan and co-constructed curriculum. The students undertake a collaborative project that models real-world working practices. The lecturer supports the students objectives. This piece takes a narrative approach to reflecting on the experience of the lecturer.
