Student peer mentoring : an AfL perspective

Beven, Peter; Sambell, Kay

Abstract

This Red Guide explores our experiences of introducing a
large-scale student peer mentoring scheme by focusing on its
impact from an Assessment for Learning (AfL) perspective. The
Guide is structured into three sections. To begin with, the
context of the peer mentoring project is outlined; secondly, we
explain our view of mentoring, informed by what our students
have told us, given that many definitions of mentoring exist
within the literature. Finally we highlight some students’
perspectives, gathered as part of research undertaken with the
student mentors, which we have analysed from an Assessment
for Learning perspective.
