Project Benefits

The development of the Platform for Advancement of Self (PAS) will mainly benefit students attending social science and humanities courses, since results in the field of learning in higher education cannot be generalized.

A general picture of the results of the particular project will involve the following:

  • Enhance students awareness of their strengths and weaknesses
  • Enhance students self-development;
  • Enhance students readiness to ask for help and support from either academic advisors or professionals accordingly;
  • Support students to develop competencies to cope with difficulties they face with learning or any other situations in the University in more effective ways;
  • Support students to complete their studies in time and engage with learning;
  • Enhance interaction and relations between students and teachers;
  • Support coaching in higher education;
  • Support teachers to ‘tolerate’ students difficulties by providing guidelines that give a direction to the way they go about enhancing students’ learning and development through increasing self-awareness.
