New learning context and welcoming: Gathering student feedback on reciprocal interview activities

Abstract

This communication presents the student feedback on the Reciprocal Interview Activity carried out in the 2022-2023 academic course in two management subjects. The activity can be framed in the ‘Welcoming’, one of the four learning environments that are conceptualized within the frame of the New Learning Context (NLC) implemented at La Salle Universitat Ramon Llull. The activities were designed to promote interaction from the very first day of class, in addition to present the syllabus and the instructors. Findings show that the Reciprocal interview Activities carried out during the first session of class of the subjects were appreciated by the students, valuing highly the level of ‘comfort with approaching the instructor’ and the ‘student comfort with class participation’
