Enhancing attainment and belonging at the London College of Fashion: a proactive, personalised approach to address limitations of the academic support provision
Authors: Shackleton Emma , Peel Jo 
Published: November 2023

This paper shared a proactive approach, developed by the Academic Support department in London College of Fashion (LCF), designed to enhance equity of take up of the department’s tutorials and contribute to reducing awarding differences. The paper uses the term Black, Asian and minority ethnic students because University of the Arts London (UAL) uses it as one of the categories for students as part of its collection, analysis and reporting of institutional data. We recognise and acknowledge the terminology is overly broad and contested. Since the paper used UAL’s institutional data, it was working with UAL’s definitions, terminology and categorisations.
In late 2019, examination of university data indicated lower bookings by Year 3 Home Black, Asian and minority ethnic students (Malik et al., 2021) and International students, and lower enhancement for degree awards, compared to Home White students. LCF has an open-to-all offer of tutorials and dedicated final-year workshops. However, research identifies systemic obstacles encountered by some students within and outside universities (Snoussi and Mompelat, 2019; UUK, 2019). While the department’s offer appeared popular, it required self-initiation by students, which could be a barrier for students experiencing a limited sense of belonging within the College.
Drawing on compassionate and solutions-focused approaches, the generic offer was adapted to enable a lecturer-team to offer personalised support to students identified as having the greatest opportunity to benefit from tutorials. Now in its third year, the Proactive Approach has led to greater equity of take up of the department’s provision and higher outcomes for students taking it up. The intervention is being evaluated for the UAL Access and Participation Plan, and data to date suggests it can contribute to enhancing a sense of belonging and unit grades.
This learning development offer was tailored to be flexible for delivery within restricted time frames and the existing resource of the Academic Support department. Our hopes when sharing it with delegates included giving space to consider its benefits, limitations and potential opportunities to use institutional data to stimulate a redesign of a learning development offer to contribute to universities’ work for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.

What’s in a name? study skills? academic skills? academic literacies? Does it really matter and to whom does it matter?
Authors: Mossman Maddy 
Published: November 2023

As a growing and maturing profession, Learning Developers are still crafting their space within their institutions and face constant conversations with academic and professional colleagues, as well as students, as to who we are and what we offer. Whilst we are protective of the terms we use, and resist using ‘study skills’ to describe our work in favour of the concept of Academic Literacies, it seems that the rest of the academy is slow to follow suit.
Working on a joint project with our Careers service to develop an institutional capabilities framework really highlighted the difference in terminology used, and the sense that, no matter how much I tried, academic and professional colleagues were unwilling or unable to engage with our service offer as delivering anything other than ‘study skills’, despite our insistence on using Academic Literacies to refer to our embedded teaching. It made me wonder whether the terminology matters or might even be counterproductive. Does the term ‘academic literacies’ serve as a barrier to staff and students, even when intended to explain the pedagogical approach that informs our practice? Our students won’t necessarily understand what academic literacies or Learning Development means, which results in using two names to describe our service – one a student-friendly ‘Skills@Library’ name, and the other ‘Learning Development’, intended to demonstrate that we are an academic unit that staff can consider peers in curriculum development and design. Does this approach just serve to dilute our offer to both parties, and cause confusion as to what we actually do?
Through three small open discussions, held as part of the mini keynote session, we explored how LDers refer to their service, why they have chosen those terms, and how they think they are received by their colleagues. With the aim of identifying barriers that this terminology causes for engagement from both staff and students, the following questions were used as prompts for the discussions.
Questions:

Is using the term ‘study skills’ really that problematic? Does it truly challenge our professional identity, and if so, is that challenge significant?
How do you refer to the service that you run?
How do your cross-institution colleagues describe your service?
What have you done to challenge their assumptions?

Exploring the Relationship between Team Sports Participation and Academic Performance in Zagreb, Croatia
Authors: Joseph Carole 
Published: November 2023

Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the potential correlation between participation in team sports and academic achievement.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low-cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The findings revealed that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the relationship between team sports participation and academic performance in Zagreb, Croatia. Preliminary empirical review revealed a positive association between team sports participation and self-regulation skills. Students who engaged in team sports demonstrated higher levels of self-regulation, which, in turn, predicted better academic achievement. Concerns about positive correlation between team sports participation and self-esteem showed that students who engaged in team sports exhibited higher levels of self-esteem, which in turn, predicted better academic achievement. The study suggested that middle schools should promote team sports participation as a means to enhance students' self-esteem, which can positively influence their academic achievement were found in most of the studies reviewed.
Recommendations: The Self-Determination Theory (SDT) Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) and Achievement Goal Theory (AGT) may be used to anchor future studies on exploring the relationship between team sports participation and academic performance in Zagreb, Croatia. Educational institutions, including schools and colleges, should encourage and support students' participation in team sports. Additionally, educators and coaches should collaborate to foster the development of important skills, such as time management, self-regulation, and self-discipline, which can positively impact academic performance.

Authors: Gitau Gertrude Wambui , Lewa Susan K. 
Published: November 2023

Purpose: The factors impacting the implementation of strategic plans in Nairobi County's church-based SACCOs were the subject of the study. It examined the research on how strategic organizational resources affect an organization's performance. The study's four goals were to ascertain the impact of human resources on church-based SACCO performance, investigate the impact of financial resources on church-based SACCO performance in Nairobi County, establish the impact of intellectual resources on church-based SACCO performance, and ascertain the impact of physical resources on church-based SACCO performance in Nairobi County.
Methodology: The 95 management personnel in Nairobi County's church-based SACCOs served as the target group for this research project, which used a descriptive survey methodology using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect primary data for this investigation, which was collected directly from respondents. Questionnaires were used to collect qualitative data, which was then evaluated using descriptive statistics and represented using percentages, means, and frequencies. The information also was also presented by use of frequency tables .Pilot study was done on 9 companies which is 10% of the sample drawn from Nairobi County. The pilot study's results demonstrated the validity and dependability of the research instruments. The Cronbach's Alpha for each variable was more than 0.7. Descriptive and inferential analysis were used to analyze the data that was collected. In this investigation, a multiple regression model was applied. The predictive ability of the model was assessed using R 2, and its fitness was assessed using the F-statistic. The P-values of each variable at the 0.05 level of significance were used to determine the importance of the research factors in impacting SACCO performance.
Findings: The study's findings showed that while strategic human, financial, and physical resources were used to a moderate level, strategic intellectual resources were emphasized to a greater extent. The findings also revealed a positive association between performance and all independent variables, with the exception of strategic human resource, which had a negative correlation. In addition, strategic human, financial, intellectual, and physical resources all had a statistically significant impact in predicting the effectiveness of Nairobi County's church-based SACCOs. The study came to the conclusion that church-based SACCO performance in Nairobi County was significantly influenced by strategic resources.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Based on these findings, the study suggests that CB-SACCO management should place an emphasis on acquiring and optimally configuring strategic resources so that they may use them effectively to maximize performance.
