Abstract
Learning to learn has been identified as a key educational competence. Over the next two years, as part of the INSTALL1
project, NUI Maynooth is testing the effectiveness of an exploratory group technique, the Narrative Mediation Path
(NMP), which has been developed to promote reflective thinking skills. To date, interviews have been conducted with
200 first year students. Common themes emerging from these interviews regarding student engagement are discussed.
Notable was the number of concerns relating to coping with academic demands. From these 200 students, 20 students
will participate in the subsequent phases of the INSTALL project utilising the NMP.
