The involvement of universities in communities is not a new phenomenon, as they have been known to engage their surrounding communities by expanding knowledge beyond the institutional confinements. This paper reports on the feedback received from the learners detailing their perceptions of the community engagement work done by the UJ Learning Development through academic study skills workshops to improve the learners' academic performance. A quantitative approach was used to collect data by means of a feedback questionnaire. The feedback questionnaire was divided into two parts, namely, the biographical details of the participants and the participants' perceptions of the academic study skills workshops they had attended. The questionnaire was administered to a target population of 302 learners at Ikamva Youth (Ivory Park and Ebony Park branches). Sixty participants were randomly selected from both grade 10 and grade 11 strata; in the last stratum, all the thirty grade 12 participants were considered. The main findings are that the majority of participants indicated that they do apply the skills learnt from the workshops while learning material and content from other subjects. They also indicated that their academic performance had improved from the time they started applying the study skills.

"Comment les étudiants sont-ils devenus un groupe social, organisé et reconnu comme tel ? L'analyse socio-historique et comparée de la France et de l'Allemagne développée dans ce livre révèle le rôle décisif des organisations étudiantes dans ce processus. Par leur double rôle de représentation et de socialisation, elles ont contribué à faire des étudiants autre chose qu'une collection d'individus : les membres d'un groupe aux caractéristiques, revendications, besoins et intérêts communs. En articulant rapport à l'État et sociabilité associative, formes de socialisation et manifestations politiques, négociations avec les pouvoirs publics et catégorisation bureaucratique ou encore création d'alliances nationales et conflits locaux, l'auteur retrace à la fois la formation des étudiants comme groupe entre 1880 et 1914 et les origines des formes actuelles de leur organisation, de leur action et de leur représentation collectives. Il éclaire ce faisant l'importance du travail de mobilisation dans la formation et la reproduction d'un groupe social."--Page 4 of cover.
