STUDY TEAMS
At the foundation of Wesley College's
educational philosophy and practice is the recognition of the
distinction between the younger college student and the student who has
assumed the adult responsibilities of self-determination, financial
independence, and professional development. The focus is on two critical
learning objectives. The first of these is shared participant
responsibility of self-directed learning and small group learning
dynamics. Professional and personal growth require that individuals
develop the skills necessary to manage their own learning. Throughout
the program, participants are expected to seek answers to their
questions, identify and develop resources for their concerns, and take
charge of their own learning. For this reason, the programs are designed
to provide the structure and support necessary to encourage independence
and self-direction.
The second objective is to develop the
interpersonal skills necessary for effective participation in groups.
Student groups are an integrated part of the Wesley College education.
The groups are comprised of three to five students each that meet
outside of class. Study groups function as mutual support mechanisms
through which the students can learn more efficient problem solving from
the professional expertise of peers. At Wesley College, students and
faculty are acknowledged as major learning resources through which
individuals learn by participation in the process of inquiry and
involvement.
Study group meeting locations, meeting
duration, and activities are dictated by the needs of the subject
material or faculty member. Each group meets outside of the required
class time to discuss and prepare assignments and share learning
resources. These study groups are mirrored in the workplace with
collaborative work teams.
