Learning to teach and teaching to learn: A small-group tutorial model enhances postgraduate tutors’ and tutees’ academic experience (Strawbridge et al., 2022)

Aims: To assess the Small-Group Tutorial (SGT) program's feasibility and impact on postgraduate students’ mental health.

Method: Mixed methods were used to examine the feasibility and outcomes of the SGT program.

Findings: Results indicated increased motivation and knowledge, praise of the flexible and interactive environment. Tutees experienced general and specific learning improvements, while tutors’ confidence and enjoyment in teaching increased.

Contributions: This study adds to the existing pedagogical evidence to support the effectiveness of the SGT program. By offering a holistic educational approach, it helps address the evolving needs of modern higher education, where traditional teaching models may face limitations of increased student-staff ratios and reduced faculty-student interaction.
