Tutoring and Learning Center:

 

“A permanent, college-supported, and learning-oriented space where learning assistance is available for all students to study, congregate, collaborate, and learn in a social, academic-oriented, and ‘un-lectured’ learning environment.”

 

+The primary function of the Tutoring and/or Learning Center is Peer Assisted Learning (tutoring)

 

+The sine qua non of tutoring is tutor training

Rebecca,

 

In addition to the LSCHE link for definitions and the David Arendale articles that Karen linked, LSCHE also links to this article that highlights several LC definitions as far back as the 1970s:

 

Truschel, J., & Reedy, D. L. (2009). National survey—What is a learning center in the 21st century? The Learning Assistance Review, 14(1), 9-22. https://nclca.wildapricot.org/resources/Documents/Publications/TLAR/Issues/14_1.pdf 

 

Collegially,

Rebecca,

 

Have you seen the definitions page on Learning Support Centers in Higher Education (LSCHE)?

I know this may seem like a silly question, but I thought my LRNASST friends may know the answer.  I am working on my dissertation study, at least the beginning of it, which will entail some definitions of key terms.  One of those terms is learning center.  I know how I’ll be defining it in terms of my study (peer in nature, etc.) but I need something a bit more firm in the literature.  Ya’ll, I am having a heck of a time. 

 

Can anyone guide me in the best direction?  I would so appreciate it.  Feel free to email me directly at [log in to unmask] with any definitions that come to mind in the literature. 

 

Thanks, all.  Have a great rest of the day.
