In this five year project, My First Six Months (MF6M), teachers aimed to create a learner-centred environment by using facilitative, rather than directive, teaching strategies in a studio-based context.Students collaborated in small groups to investigate a project brief and produce an artefact outcome. They engaged in studio practices of research and prototyping, pinup presentations and peer review along with self-assessment. Most students had not experienced learning in these ways before. Focus groups with students explored their experience of the courses and unearthed valuable insight into students’ expectations about learning at university and the design discipline. Students were overwhelmingly positive about collaborating in their projects, while diverse expectations about learning and teaching roles and bemusement about the different emphasis on assessment featured prominently in students’ reflections. Recommendations arising from their perceptions include providing an ongoing narrative about independent learning throughout each course and ensuring support and expectations for independent learning are more explicitly designed into the course delivery.Editorial Universitat Politècnica de ValènciaRepositorio Institucional de la Universitat Politècnica de València Riunet20232023-06-16book parthttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_3248VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPartapplication/pdfhttps://riunet.upv.es/handle/10251/207063reponame:RiuNet.
