Session Abstract
This reports on research conducted into faculty perceptions of student transformative learning potential in placement courses at United Kingdom universities, and which pedagogies might be more supportive of TL. Specific actions to support faculty working with placement learning courses are recommended.
Target Audience
Instructional and research faculty interested in courses and programs involving placements, internships, co-ops, service-learning, tranformative Learning, and assessment. Also people interested in faculty professional development may find this of interest.
Session Description

This report on research explores the faculty assessment of student TL potential in placement courses. This is intended to help faculty learn and perhaps use pedagogies that could support or enhance student TL experiences.
