“…Access programmes should provide a nurturing and supportive learning environment (Daniels & Jooste, 2018;Ogude et al, 2019) where students can develop self-efficacy and learn to cope with failure (Ogude et al, 2019) while building self-confidence (Daniels & Jooste, 2018). Many access programmes offer relatively small tutorial classes, which students view as a positive feature (Potgieter et al, 2015) supporting learning development (Daniels & Jooste, 2018). In smaller classes it is possible to reduce the pace of teaching which aids learning when students are less prepared for HE study (Engelbrecht et al, 2010).…”

“…Individualised learning to internalise and connect new knowledge with previously learned knowledge is also important (Vygotsky, 1978). Peer support and collaboration is crucial as a form of academic support in access programmes (Ogude et al, 2019) and should be incorporated into tutorial learning (Daniels & Jooste, 2018). Good performers have been found to engage in collaboration more easily and effectively than poor performers (Potgieter et al, 2015) and where peer support is encouraged, students feel assisted to succeed in their studies (Daniels & Jooste, 2018).…”
