THEORY OF STUDENT INVOLVEMENT
• Focus less on what teachers do and more on what the student does
• More concerned with the behavioral mechanisms or processes that facilitate student development
• Educators are competing with other forces in the student’s life for a share of that finite time and energy
• Every institutional policy and practice can affect the way students spend their time and the amount of effort
• The extent to which students reach this goal is a direct function of the time they spend in productive learning activities
Just imagine…Our students..
• have a higher sense of being part of the classroom discourse (Reid & Solomonides, 2007)
• less likely to prematurely exit higher education (Kuh, et al, 2008)
• feel a greater sense of pride and satisfaction (Skinner & Belmont, 1993)
• more likely to employ a deep approach to their learning (Horstmanshof & Zimitat, 2007, Jansen & Bruinsma, 2005)
• and are more successful in their latter years of study (Severiens & Schmidt, 2009)
