    Season 2 Episode 7 - Dr Jane McKay

    In this education-focussed episode of The 4 Pillars, we hear from Chartered Psychologist Dr Jane McKay, Senior Lecturer in Learning Development at GCU. Dr Chee Wee Tan interviews Jane on her research and experience in dealing with students who demonstrate behaviours of “Perfectionism” and “Fear of Failure”. Not only does Jane provide a fantastic insight into this field but offers advice and learning strategies on how to recognise and help remove these “road-blocks” in student attainment. That’s so interesting!
