8 Section 2 Things to Do Related Information: Secondary school and university compared Secondary school and university differ in several ways. These differences relate to how subjects are presented and structured; reading and research requirements; assignment characteristics; the learner, and the learning environment. Academic requirements in secondary school and in university are compared in the table below.

9 Section 2 Things to Do Secondary schoolUniversity Subjects ★ Selected aspects (not all) of a subject are taught in a carefully structured way. ★ Students are introduced to a subject and are expected to become increasingly knowledgeable about it during their university study. Students are exposed to a wide range of information, principles, theories and debates in their field. ★ Teachers direct students to the most important information and ideas in a subject. ★ University staffs select and structure the most important aspects of a subject. Lectures and guides take students systematically through these concepts.

10 Section 2 Things to Do Reading and research requirements ★ Teachers direct students to what they specifically have to read. Reading only the set textbook is often enough. ★ University lecturers usually give out long reading lists. They may point out what is essential to read from the list and what is desirable to read but not crucial. ★ Students may use the Internet and newspapers for research. ★ Students need to develop good search methods and skills using periodical indexes and online databases, as well as Internet search engines.

11 Section 2 Things to Do Assignments ★ Students are expected to reproduce the core knowledge they have learnt. ★ Students are expected to take a more critical and questioning attitude to the knowledge they acquire throughout the course of their university studies. ★ Teachers set smaller and more frequent assignments, and correct and comment upon them. ★ There may be fewer but longer assignments.

12 Section 2 Things to Do The learner ★ Schools take some responsibility for students’ learning in various ways. Teachers regularly monitor student progress, and even report to parents. ★ Students are regarded as adults and fully responsible for their own academic success or failure. The learning environment ★ The ‘lesson’ is the usual teaching mode. ★ Lectures, tutorials, seminars and lab sessions are features of university teaching. These are conducted face-to- face and, increasingly, online. ★ Time spent in class takes up most of students’ learning time. ★ Students have to learn to manage their unstructured time outside contact hours. back
