Description/Abstract:

This paper describes a study which uses smaller galleries and employs a scaffolded approach to help international foundation students on a visual arts pathway understand and develop primary research methods such as observation and interviews, enhancing academic integrity. It outlines stages of the study along with findings, challenges and benefits. Though limited in scope it shows positive results in enhancing primary research skills and further independent study which ultimately also increases motivation and course engagement: building a sense of belonging and integration into the student and wider community.
