Socio-cultural Learning: Students as Co-researchers, a Key for Students' Success

Abstract

This chapter explains how a socio-cultural learning model was used in the Marginalisation and Co-created Education project for students to challenge prevailing deficit models of social disadvantage. This chapter draws on accounts of participant engagement in the project to reveal how a supportive socio-cultural model can develop knowledge about the subject of marginalisation and about wider higher education elements whilst also developing self-belief and raising aspirations of participants.
