Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
I learned that helping profession approach involves physical, cognitive, emotional, and psychological growth. When students are provided with encouragement, and offering guidance it will help them achieve their learning and career goals.
Communication fosters a positive environment for learning because communication fosters connection. We all want to feel connected to others and when we do, we are more likely to stay on task and the increase in retention comes naturally.
I learned that a strong communication loop hole between the instructor and the student can have a huge learning path towards their direction to success.
From this module, I have learned that strong, supportive relationships between students and instructors can have a big impact on student retention. When students feel seen, supported, and connected, they are more likely to stay engaged and persist through challenges.
the student, Instructor relation is very much needed to be open and straight forward. we as instructor are here to better the community with these student who are working to be professionals. Now let keep this in mind, we want our students to be the best professionals in the outside world, just incase we see them with ourselves or loved ones in the medical office. As A instructor im very proud of my students and the work and committment they are showing. My job is easy when the students are on the right track.
I learned that student retention is closely tied to how engaged faculty are with their students. When students have consistent, meaningful, and positive interactions with faculty and staff, they are more likely to persist i their education. I also realized that students shouldn't be viewed as customers; instead, the role of educators is more like that of healthcare professionals focused on guiding and supporting students toward success.
I learned that retention is proportionate to student engagement by faculty. Students who have frequent meaningful and positive contact with faculty and staff are more likely to stay. I also learned that students are not customers, that education is similar to the healthcare profession in that they help the student.
Establishing strong working relationships with online students is essential for improving their academic success and overall outcomes.
It is important to be intentional with these students so that they will communicate with you and build that relationship that will help them be successful.
To retain a student is to understand the student as a whole person. They have enrolled to achieve a goal and just because they started school , that does not solve all issues or hurdle every challenge for them. We have to be willing to hear their felt needs and assist as needed within professional reason.
Building strong working alliances with online students is fundamental to increasing positive student outcomes.
connecting and building rapport with student will hopefully reduce retention
Maintaining a good relationship with the students and be sure to address any concerns with my PD asap
Making sure to build good relationships, connecting with them, all while making sure it isn't a customer services relationship, will hopefully retain them as students.
Responding quickly and timely to students questions fosters trust and relationship based communication which in turn leads to retention.
Responding to student requests and inquiries in a timely fashion not only promotes trust and genuine interest from instructor to student, but also improves the chances of success for them.
Communication is paramount to keep students engaged, but so is genuine care.
I learned that being more connected to the students the better chance of retaining students. I am probably an overcommunicator which is good for some but not for all the students. It can become confusing. I also learned that I am not a customer service person but a helping profession person. This made me feel good because I always worry that I should be more concerned about customer service. But knowing the students are not customers makes it easier for me to teach the students.
engaging with the students is essential to their learning
