The more invested they are, the better their chance of success is.
This reinforced for me the importance of connection to the adult learners. Reestablishing the "why" they are enrolled in a program, so we can connect the importance of the class to their why.
Based on the text, we learn that student ownership is a deep level of investment where learners are involved in learning, teaching, and leadership. It arises from a strong connection to the content, methods, and environment of their education, and must be actively nurtured by institutions and faculty who demonstrate their own investment.
Instructors can contribute to student empowerment by building confidence and guiding ways to become successful.
I often refer to this as "buying in" meaning you will get out of this what you put in. Some students do not see the value of the course content.
I find that most students are very complacent. They do not take the initiative to get themselves prepared for their future. As some students would say, my mom or my dad is making me do this. without thinking that having an education is an investment in themselves. The GEN X's, are in this situation right now.
Student investment in the learning process will lead to development of student empowerment-- students need to take responsibility for themselves & their future career success.
I work at a Tech school with a variety of demographical students. What I see is Student's not owning their own education and Instructors pushing and pulling for goals to be met when Students themselves are not managing and owning their own progress. This is an eye opener for me to realize; I can share my knowledge, experience and time but the Students must own their own desire to seek out the trade they have chosen to be educated in.
students must be held accountable
That technology does offer a number of benefits for students
Students that understand the real world application of knowledge attainment are invested in the learning process as adding to their personal value.
The more real to life the example the more engagement you will get from the student
Students need to empower their learning process and take ownership of the classes and education they desire. A competent teacher can assist students and inspire them to enjoy learning through great stories. Together students and teachers can work toward student success since statistics show that 42% of students do not finish their college education.
Students need empowerment and ownership in their education. Instructors need to provide open opportunities for students to be motivated to the career subject they have chosen. The more opportunity arises the students focus on ownership and they become more inspired to gain more knowledge about the subjects and therefore are more empowered as they progress through school.
Great information! Student investment in the learning process will lead to development of student empowerment-- students need to take responsibility for themselves & their future career success.
