Dear SI-PASS colleagues,
my name is Joakim Malm and I am a certified trainer at the European Centre for SI-PASS. The European Centre works together with researchers from Netherlands and Australia on a project related to “soft” skills/graduate attributes that student participants may develop while taking part in SI-PASS sessions. Based on a focus group with leaders and participants plus a world-wide survey to SI-PASS supervisors we distinguished three main areas that SI-PASS participants most likely develops in sessions: teamwork/collaboration, communication and study strategies. In the next step we constructed a survey that tests for development of these three “soft” skills for participants in SI-PASS sessions (including validation of the survey based on a group of some 300 SI-PASS participants).
We are now ready to distribute the survey to SI-PASS participants world-wide and would like to ask for your help in doing this. Could you as supervisors ask your SI-PASS leaders to distribute the link to the survey to their participants within the next two weeks (the survey takes 5-10 minutes to complete and is anonymous)? The link to the survey is: https://hva.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2hnwPNUIqJJWBwy . Deadline for submitting responses is Friday May 17. Thank you very much in advance!
We will share the survey results with you once we processed the data and created a report. If the results from the survey are positive, they will provide one more argument for getting funding for SI-PASS schemes: that students participating in SI-PASS also develops graduate attributes besides assisting students in the learning of challenging course material.
Kind regards,
Joakim Malm, European Centre for SI-PASS
