It was interesting to see the stress diagram. I think it makes a lot of sense that students reach the point of attrition when they reach the point where they don't feel like they have any reserves or resources left.
Making sure the school, faculty and staff communicate to all students that each student matters and the school is there for them whenever possible. This can help reduce GAS
Stress promotes thoughts driven by how many resource reserve remain for coping.
It is very important for a school to have faculty and staff in place ready to honestly care for all the students. Instructors are not the only ones that should be directly dealing with the stress students may be going through. Administrators should be able to communicate with instructors to provide resources to those students that may need them. Students deal with stress in different ways and having administrators willing to help them is very important. Understanding the General Adaptation Syndrome is important.
It is important to show the students your effort and that you care, so they will adopt the same attitude. I believe that outcomes are created by what you put in.
Hello Everyone! To ensure students remain engaged and committed to their program and the institution, commitment, care, understanding, and communication must be consistently displayed and fostered with the students.
Everyone needs to be involved, not just the faculty. You need to show each student that you care and recognize some of the stressors before its too late. Sometimes the students need to see a different point of view and they need to know we support them.
The entire school/institution must create a positive and productive atmosphere to help students succeed.
I agree with the statement "stress is real, not just a feeling." Great point.
Attrition has strong emotional and psychological underpinnings for students. It takes a comprehensive effort on the part of staff and faculty to help ensure that students feel a sense of belonging to counteract potential thought of dropping out.
Refers to the rate at which students leave or drop out of a program or institution. Understanding college attrition involves examining factors like academic challenges, financial constraints, personal issues, and the overall college experience. Institutions may address this by providing support services, improving academic programs, or enhancing campus life to foster student retention.
Understanding what causes attrition among our students helps us intevene and assist them so they can continue in our schools and achieve their goals.
I've done a lot of reading on grit, perseverance, and facing adversity on the individual level. But it is amazing to view school commitment as a remedy for academic erosion and academic stagnation. It really does take the whole team to support students throughout their programs. This module makes it even more clear that we all have a role and the way we interact with our students means so much to their persistence.
This confirms seomthing Daniel Pink said which is that people need Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose to be motivated. This section focused on the erosion of that purpose within the individual.
