Abstract
Peer-Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) - also known as Supplemental Instruction and Peer-Assisted Learning - is a student-led, student-focused approach to academic learning support that has a long tradition in higher education institutions in Australia and around the world. It is a non-remedial program that most commonly targets core first year units, those that may be particularly challenging and that experience high failure rates, or any unit where supplemental peer-led communities of learning are sought. PASS is designed to provide students with opportunities to better understand the unit content (what to learn) and to develop academic study skills (how to learn) relevant to the particular discipline. The intent is not to re-teach unit material but rather to promote learning through collaboration and discussion between students.
