Study Skills for Health and Social Care Students



August 2012 | 120 pages | Learning Matters
Many students on Health and Social Care Foundation Degree and Access courses struggle with the academic expectations required of them at this level. This book is written to support such students in adapting to self-directed study, understand the assessment process and how they can make the most of their learning opportunities. The authors also cover practicalities such as avoiding plagiarism, using their studies to become a reflective practitioner, and understanding the benefit of research and critical thinking. More than a generic study guide, this book is practice-based and will be of great benefit to health and social care students.

SAGE Study Skills are essential study guides for students of all levels. From how to write great essays and succeeding at university, to writing your undergraduate dissertation and doing postgraduate research, SAGE Study Skills help you get the best from your time at university.

Used by Health Studies students to support their study skills and ways that they can research my topic ( Health & safety)

This text supports well the work that Health and Social Care students are currently doing in their Study Skills sessions. It has been useful to be able to recommend students to read sections of this, e.g. being a reflective practioner and developing self-directed study in order to support the learning that is being completed in class. It will certainly help students who have been out of education for some time to make that transition from Further to Higher Education.
