A Conceptual Framework for a Proposed Intervention: Interdisciplinary Academic Advising and Mentoring through Personal Tutor Groups
Mentoring & Tutoring: Partnership in Learning, v33 n1 p112-128 2025
Students' engagement and interactions within higher education are limited to domains of sports, cultural events, and extracurricular activities. However, it is important to cultivate an all-rounded enriching experience for them within their university life. Furthermore, due to limited classroom communication with both their classmates and lecturers, it becomes more restrictive to share academic experiences and thus wholly enjoy classroom learning. As a resolve, interdisciplinary interactions have proven to be effective in helping students truly appreciate their university life, particularly academia. We propose an intervention based on a unique approach by adopting interdisciplinary academic advising through personal tutor groups. To propose this as a university-wide initiative, this paper adopts a conceptual framework to recommend the gaps in existing systems in higher education related to the approach and its benefits to the culture and community of a university -- its staff, lecturers, and importantly the students within The United Arab Emirates (UAE).
