Although the factor that correlates most strongly with retention and degree outcome is previous educational attainment, when this is controlled for there remain strong patterns that correlate with gender, disability, socio-economic background, ethnicity, nationality and type of entry qualification. A weight of quantitative evidence and qualitative research concludes that teaching and learning pedagogy and curriculum design in higher education advantages students from backgrounds that have a long tradition of attending university, and that other groups of students are disadvantaged. Some key issues that arise for these students include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">understanding the academic values and expectations of higher education;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">being equipped with the appropriate academic skills;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">having access to the same level of assets as other students, e.g. money to buy books or to undertake unpaid placements, time to study and engage in extra-curricular activity, personal support networks to provide informal words of encouragement or guidance when things are tough, or access to work experience opportunities;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">developing a strong sense of belonging - feeling isolated, different or that they have no 'right' to be at university;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">shared social or cultural capital, i.e. not being able to recognise or decode the implicit codes of behaviour.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">An inclusive approach to curriculum design and pedagogy takes all of these factors into account and is proactive in:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">recognising the challenges that different students experience;<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">fostering a sense of belonging amongst all students;<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">clearly articulating academic values and expectations;<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">explicitly equipping students with academic skills they will need for successful study.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-466-0-1-1\" class=\"widget_text so-panel widget widget_custom_html panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/curriculum-framework\/academic-skills\/\">\n\t<div>\n<div class=\"topicWrapper employability\">\n\t<h1 class=\"topicHeading\">\n\tAcademic Skills\n<\/h1>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<br>\n\t<br>\n<p>\nScaffolding skills-development throughout the curriculum to enable student success \n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Engaging Everyone What is Inclusive Practice?
