Student Activism in Asia: Between Protest and Powerlessness
by Stephan Ortmann Patricio N. AbinalesSince World War II, students in East and Southeast Asia have led protest movements that toppled authoritarian regimes in countries such as Indonesia, South Korea, and Thailand. Elsewhere in the region, student protests have shaken regimes until they were brutally suppressed—most famously in China&’s Tiananmen Square and in Burma. But despite their significance, these movements have received only a fraction of the notice that has been given to American and European student protests of the 1960s and 1970s. The first book in decades to redress this neglect, Student Activism in Asia tells the story of student protest movements across Asia.Taking an interdisciplinary, comparative approach, the contributors examine ten countries, focusing on those where student protests have been particularly fierce and consequential: China, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Indonesia, Burma, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines. They explore similarities and differences among student movements in these countries, paying special attention to the influence of four factors: higher education systems, students&’ collective identities, students&’ relationships with ruling regimes, and transnational flows of activist ideas and inspirations.The authors include leading specialists on student activism in each of the countries investigated. Together, these experts provide a rich picture of an important tradition of political protest that has ebbed and flowed but has left indelible marks on Asia&’s sociopolitical landscape.Contributors: Patricio N.

Student Activism in the Global South: The Formation of Political Capabilities in Higher Education
by Kurauone MasungoThis book makes an original conceptual and empirical contribution to debates on the role of student activism in enhancing social justice within education in the Global South, using South Africa as a case study. The book explores the development of higher education students’ political capabilities through student activism – that is, the freedom to express political ideas and engage in protests, including the following key capabilities: participation, dialogue, practical reasoning, voice, emotional expression, contextual knowledge and physical wellbeing. The author considers the possibility of enhancing justice and democracy in higher education through the formation of such student freedoms. The book will be of interest to academics and researchers in student activism, higher education and social justice, as well as institutional staff members with knowledge of student governance, members of student representative councils and higher education administrators.
Student Affairs Assessment: Theory To Practice
by Gavin W. Henning Darby Roberts Marilee Bresciani LudvikWith the recognition of the integral role of student affairs in student education, and with stakeholders requiring increasing accountability at a time of tight resources, it has become imperative that staff be familiar with and competent in undertaking assessment. This book provides student affairs staff with the grounding they need to integrate assessment into how they design and monitor the programs, services, and activities they create to contribute to students’ development. This book is intended both as a text for student affairs and higher education master’s programs, and as a practical guide for early career staff who have had little formal preparation in assessment. It can be used for self-study or in professional development workshops. For divisions, departments, or units getting started with assessment, the discussion questions at the end of the chapters can engage staff in the process of developing an effective assessment culture. This book provides a thorough introduction to all aspects of assessment, assuming no prior knowledge, and illustrated throughout with examples of application in student affairs settings. Key elements include: •Takes into account the latest standards and competencies defined by AAC&U, ACPA, AER, CAS, NASPA, and others •Introductory and comprehensive •Provides essential background and theory •Covers preparation, planning and design •Describes the full range of assessment methods •Introduces principles and methods of qualitative and quantitative analysis •Guidance on using and sharing results •Addresses cultivating and sustaining a culture of assessment •Considers ethical and political concerns •Covers use of technology •Illustrated throughout by examples of practice in student affairs.
Student Affairs by the Numbers: Quantitative Research and Statistics for Professionals
by Rishi SriramStudent Affairs by the Numbers aims to be the go-to book for student affairs professionals who want to know the basics of quantitative research and statistics for their work. Books on assessment in student affairs tend to discuss processes more than research design and statistics. Most books on statistics share too much information for practitioners, overwhelming them and making it difficult to discern what they need to know. Since these books do not use examples from student affairs, it is even more difficult for practitioners to connect with new concepts. <p><p> Student Affairs professionals need to know how to design a study, collect data, analyze data, interpret results, and present the results in an understandable manner. This book will begin by establishing the need for these skills in student affairs and then quickly move to how to develop a research culture, how to conduct research, how to understand statistics, and concluding with how to change our research/assessment behaviors in order to make higher education better for students.
Student Agency and Self-Formation in Higher Education (Palgrave Studies in Global Higher Education)
by Lili Yang Soyoung Lee Yusuf Ikbal OldacThis edited volume argues for positioning students at the centre of higher education, drawing from the concepts of student agency and self-formation. The volume highlights that higher education has broader and more important purposes than what a neoliberal human capital approach would suggest, and explores how students exercise their agency and realise self-formation as inherently connected concepts throughout university education. With disciplinary, cultural, and contextual diversity, this volume will provide international perspectives to readers interested in higher education theories, policies, and practices.
Student Engagement in the Digital University: Sociomaterial Assemblages
by Martin Oliver Lesley GourlayStudent Engagement in the Digital University challenges mainstream conceptions and assumptions about students’ engagement with digital resources in Higher Education. While engagement in online learning environments is often reduced to sets of transferable skills or typological categories, the authors propose that these experiences must be understood as embodied, socially situated, and taking place in complex networks of human and nonhuman actors. Using empirical data from a JISC-funded project on digital literacies, this book performs a sociomaterial analysis of student–technology interactions, complicating the optimistic and utopian narratives surrounding technology and education today and positing far-reaching implications for research, policy and practice.
Student Engagement, Higher Education, and Social Justice: Beyond Neoliberalism and the Market
by Keith Morrison Corinna BramleyStudent engagement is a catch-all term, irresistible to educators and policy makers, and serving many agendas and purposes. This ground-breaking book provides a powerful theory of student engagement, rooted in critical theory and social justice. It sets out a compelling argument for student engagement to promote social justice and to repel neoliberalism in, and through, higher education, addressing three key questions: Student engagement in what? Student engagement for what? Student engagement for whom? The answers draw on Habermas, Honneth, Gramsci, Foucault, and Giroux in examining ideology, power, recognition, resistance, and student engagement, with examples drawn from across the world. It sets out key features, limitations, and failures of neoliberalism in higher education, and indicates how student engagement can resist it. Student engagement calls for higher education institutions to be sites for challenge, debate on values and power, action for social justice, and for students to engage in the struggle to resist neoliberalism, taking action to promote social justice, democracy, and the public good. This book is essential reading for educators, researchers, managers and students in higher education, social scientists, and social theorists. It is a call to reawaken higher education for social justice, human rights, democracy, and freedoms.
Student Engagement: Effective Academic, Behavioral, Cognitive, and Affective Interventions at School
by Amy L. Reschly Sandra L. Christenson Angie J. PohlThis book provides cutting-edge, evidence-based strategies and interventions that target students’ engagement at school and with learning. Coverage begins with the background and 29-year history of the Check & Connect Model and describes the model and assessment of student engagement that served as the backdrop for conceptualizing the engagement interventions described in the book. Subsequent chapters are organized around the subtypes of student engagement – academic, behavioral, affective, cognitive – that were developed based on work with the Check & Connect Model. Principles and formal interventions are presented at both the universal and more intensive levels, consistent with the Response-to-Intervention/Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) framework. The book concludes with a summary on the lessons learned from Check & Connect and the importance of a system that is oriented toward enhancing engagement and school completion for all students. Interventions featured in this book include: Peer-Assisted Learning Strategies (PALS).The Homework, Organization, and Planning Skills (HOPS) Intervention.The Good Behavior Game in the classroom.Check-in, Check-out (CICO). Banking Time, a dyadic intervention to improve teacher-student relationshipsThe Self-Regulation Empowerment Program (SREP). Student Engagement is a must-have resource for researchers, professionals, and graduate students in child and school psychology, educational policy and politics, and family studies.
Student Entrepreneurship in the Social Knowledge Economy
by Maria Rosaria Della Peruta Manlio Del Giudice Elias G. CarayannisTraditionally, the study of entrepreneurial behavior focuses on such factors as (i) the personality characteristics that distinguish the entrepreneur from non-entrepreneur and (ii) demographic characteristics such gender, age, familiar antecedents and education. With particular respect to investigating the development, acquisition, and dissemination of entrepreneurial skills and behaviors, the authors focus on the university environment, as a locus of research and innovation, where students are exposed to a wide variety of influences that are enhanced by a high degree of connectivity. The underlying theme of this volume is to develop our understanding of the sociology of student entrepreneurial behavior and in doing so attempt to synthesize literature investigating individual talent with the literature on concurrent knowledge sourcing in the pursuit of entrepreneurial activities. Specifically, the authors investigate the degree to which access to diverse knowledge (in addition to such psychological characteristics and tolerance of ambiguity and risk taking) influences the nature and probability of entrepreneurial success. Moreover, they explore the role of social media and social networking in facilitating access to distributed and disparate information and knowledge Their research addresses such timely questions as: Where do entrepreneurial opportunities come from? How can higher education best stimulate the creation of firms emanating from young and smart minds in colleges and universities? What is the value of MOOCs for frequent, early, and "thick" communication among the various specialties needed to accomplish entrepreneurial projects? How do we know whether social media affect students' responses to new knowledge and new ideas? To what extent do educational practices affect racial and ethnic differences in student entrepreneurship? What is the role of the indigenous minority student entrepreneur in establishing high-technology firms? The result is a multi-dimensional approach that sheds light on the dynamics of education, knowledge creation, social networking, innovation and new business development.
Student Financial Literacy
by Sonya L. Britt Dorothy B. DurbandCollege students are particularly vulnerable to making poor financial decisions. One method of addressing personal finances and financial stress among students of higher education is through university based financial education programs. Student Financial Literacy: Program Development presents effective strategies to assist in the implementation or the enhancement of a program as a tool to improve students' educational experience and financial well-being. It presents the key components of financial education programs designed to address the growing concerns associated with high levels of debt and low levels of financial literacy among college students.
Student Migrants and Contemporary Educational Mobilities
by Rachel Brooks Johanna WatersThis book explores questions around the meaning and significance of international student migration. Framed in relation to the mobilities – and immobilities – of international students, the book highlights various key themes emerging from the rich interdisciplinary scholarship in this area, including socio-economic diversification in mobile students, the differential value of international higher education, and citizenship and state-building projects. It also discusses the importance of considering ethics in relation to student migrants. This pioneering book will be of interest and value to scholars of student mobilities and the international student experience more widely, as well as practitioners and policy makers.
Student Mobility: Exploring the Impacts of Frequent Moves on Achievement
by National Research Council Institute of Medicine of the National AcademiesMany low-income families struggle with stable housing and frequently have to move due to foreclosures, rent increases, or other financial setbacks. Children in these families can experience lasting negative effects, especially those who are young and still developing basic learning and social skills. A joint NRC-IOM committee held a workshop in June 2009 to examine these issues, highlight patterns in current research, and discuss how to develop a support system for at-risk children.
Student Movements in Late Neoliberalism: Dynamics of Contention and Their Consequences (Social Movements and Transformation)
by Donatella Della Porta Lorenzo Cini César Guzmán-ConchaThis book inquires into the global wave of student mobilizations that have arisen in the aftermath of the economic crisis of 2008, accounting for their historical and sociological significance. More specifically, its eleven chapters explore the role of students as political actors: their ability to build effective organizations, to make political alliances with other actors, and to win public consensus, as well as their impact on cultural, political, and policy outcomes. To do so, the volume examines case studies in England, Chile, South Africa, Quebec, and Hong Kong, covering Europe, Africa, Asia, and North and Latin America. Grouped into two major sections, the collection covers the organizational structures of student movements and their alliances and outcomes. Ultimately, this volume examines the understudied political aspects of student unrest, exploring how student mobilizations—driven by indebtedness, precariousness, the corporatization of the university, and other issues—correspond to larger processes of change with wider implications in society.

Student Retention and Success in Higher Education: Institutional Change for the 21st Century
by Mahsood Shah Liz Thomas Sally KiftThis book draws together international research to assess the quality of successful efforts to retain students. The editors and contributors unite diverse global research from countries who have led student retention and success projects at national, institutional, faculty or program level with positive outcomes. The book is underpinned by the philosophy that a more diverse student population requires higher education institutions to fundamentally change, in order to facilitate the success of all students. All of humanity, its economies and societies, are being pummelled by waves of pandemic-induced crises in tandem with globalisation and demographic shifts. Ultimately, this book acts as a clarion to higher education institutions to better support and retain their students, in order to create a more stable learning environment.
Student Success and Intersectionality at Hispanic-Serving Institutions: Policy and Practice
by Rosa M. Banda Jocelyn A. Gutierrez Nikola Grafnetterova Alonzo M. Flowers III Jarett T. LujanWith the influx of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) on the landscape of higher education, it has become apparent that institutional policy, practices, and procedures for student success must be understood from an empirical and practitioner standpoint. This edited book offers current scholar/practitioners the opportunity to evidence empirical-based strategies and practices at HSIs relating to student success.
Student Voice, Behaviour, and Resistance in the Classroom Environment: Lessons from Disruptive and Disaffected School Children (Routledge New and Critical Studies in Education)
by Thomas RalphThis novel volume investigates the motivations behind disruptive pupil behaviour and offers practical guidance through discussion of a novel theoretical framework that explores how students perceive schooling, uncovering what their behaviour can tell us about how to adjust the school environment. Drawing on cutting-edge research and internationally relevant themes, chapters argue that non-compliant behaviour by students is not mindlessly reactive but is purposeful – a means to make themselves heard. The book explores a dynamic understanding of the processes of placemaking and offers insights on how students create 'student-friendly' places by re-appropriating spaces within schools and why they might behave in certain ways. Arguing that the wider implications of a failure in educational policy is detrimental to student retainment and success, the book will ultimately have ramifications across disciplines and classroom contexts in improving student engagement. This book will be of interest to researchers, practitioners and policy makers working in the fields of the sociology of education, teaching and teacher education, educational change and reform more broadly. Those looking into behaviour management, youth studies, and education policy will also find this book of interest.

Student and Graduate Mobility in Armenia
by David Cairns Marine SargsyanBased on exploratory research with students and graduates conducted in Armenia and its diaspora during summer 2018, Cairns and Sargsyan provide insight into some of the challenges involved in moving abroad, focusing on three different destinations: Russia, the United States and the European Union. Additionally, Student and Graduate Mobility in Armenia considers issues that have an impact on life chances for highly qualified young people who wish to remain in Armenia, including perceptions of corruption in the local labour market and hopes for the future following the Velvet Revolution of spring 2018. This research will be of interest to students and scholars of mobility, youth, employment and education.
Student-Led Movements and Political Transformation in Contemporary Chile
by Camila Ponce LaraThis book examines how Chilean student movement leaders achieved unprecedented political power in the post-dictatorship era, culminating in Gabriel Boric's presidency and prominent roles for other former activists. Through detailed analysis, it traces the evolution of student movements from post-dictatorship resistance to institutional governance, revealing strategies that enabled this remarkable shift from protest to executive leadership.The chapters progress methodologically from theoretical frameworks on youth activism and social movement theory to case studies of key mobilizations including the 2001 Mochilazo, 2006 Pingüino Movement, and transformative 2011 protests. The work explores how different political trajectories—conservative, breakthrough, and emerging—shape young activists' paths to power.By analyzing this unprecedented political transformation, the book offers vital insights for understanding contemporary social movements across Latin America and beyond. It provides innovative conceptual tools for scholars, activists, and policymakers interested in political change, youth leadership, and the dynamic relationship between street protest and institutional power.
Studentischer Workload: Definition, Messung und Einflüsse
by Daniel Großmann Tobias Wolbring Christin Engel Justus JunkermannIm Zuge der Bologna-Reformen ist der studentische Workload – verstanden als zeitlicher Arbeitsaufwand, den Studierende für das Absolvieren eines Studiums, Moduls oder einer Lehreinheit benötigen – zum zentralen Begriff für die Planung, Administration und Evaluation von Studienprogrammen geworden. Gleichzeitig mangelt es an systematischen Auseinandersetzungen mit dem Konzept sowie Untersuchungen zu den Determinanten und Effekten studentischen Workloads. Zudem findet die empirische Erfassung der tatsächlichen Lern- und Studierzeiten in den Studienprogrammen eher selten und wenn doch, wenig strukturiert statt. Wichtige Aspekte für eine gute Gestaltung von Lehre und Studium bleiben daher in der Praxis oft unerkannt. Dieser Sammelband will diese Lücke schließen. Nach einem historischen Überblick zum Workload-Begriff im europäischen Kontext werden konzeptionelle Grundlagen und Möglichkeiten der Messung, aber auch damit verbundene Fallstricke erörtert. Der Sammelband möchte damit nicht nur einen Beitrag zur Stärkung einer empirisch-analytischen Perspektive in der Workload-Forschung leisten, sondern hofft auch, Impulse für die Gestaltung des Curriculums und der Evaluation an den Hochschulen zu geben.
Studentisches Publizieren in den Sozialwissenschaften: Von der Haus- und Abschlussarbeit zur wissenschaftlichen Publikation
by Philipp Köker Morten HarmeningBisher fehlt es an Lehrbüchern, die sich spezifisch mit den Herausforderungen und Chancen des studentischen Publizierens befassen. Der Band will diese Lücke schließen und bietet eine systematische Einführung in den wissenschaftlichen Publikationsprozess aus studentischer Sicht und erläutert den Weg von der Haus- und Abschlussarbeit zur eigenen wissenschaftlichen Publikation. Grundsätzliche Unterschiede zwischen studentischen Qualifikationsarbeiten und wissenschaftlichen Aufsätzen werden ebenso behandelt wie unterschiedliche Publikationsformate, Peer-Review und die Gefahren von Raubverlagen. Weiterhin bietet es eine Schritt-für-Schritt Anleitung für den Weg von der ersten Idee bis zur publizierten Arbeit. Durch zahlreiche Beispiele, Check-Listen und weitere Ressourcen eignet sich das Buch nicht nur für Studierende, die ihre Arbeiten veröffentlichen oder mehr über den wissenschaftlichen Publikationsprozess lernen möchten, sondern auch für Dozierende als Ressource zur Nutzung in Lehrforschungsseminaren und -projekten.
Studien zur grundlegenden Körper- und Bewegungsbildung in Deutschland (Angewandte Forschung im Sport)
by Thomas Wendeborn Albrecht Hummel Arno ZeunerDie neueren bildungswissenschaftlichen Diskurse zum Verhältnis von Grundbildung, Allgemeinbildung und Spezialbildung begründen eine Revision zum Status und zur Funktion einer steigerungsfähigen Körperlichen Grundbildung in den Schulen. Körperliche Grundbildung (Physical Literacy) wird dabei als staatlich zu garantierende, grundlegende Körper- und Bewegungsbildung in einem sportbezogenen Kontext verstanden. Das Bewegungskönnen in fünf bis sieben Bewegungsfeldern, die individuell bestmögliche körperliche Leistungsfähigkeit und die Befähigung zum Sporttreiben außerhalb der Schule sind wesentliche Ziele der Grundbildung. Die Kategorien Körper, Bewegung und Sport markieren die fachliche Domänenspezifik. Die Steigerungsfähigkeit der Grundbildung erweist sich im Verlauf der Humanontogenese. Vollständige Lernprozesse schließen zwingend das Üben und Trainieren als Lernformen ein. Die Studien sollen einen inspirierenden Beitrag zur Erneuerung der Theorie und Methodik der Körperlichen Grundbildung leisten.
Studien zur grundlegenden Körper- und Bewegungsbildung in Deutschland (Angewandte Forschung im Sport)
by Thomas Wendeborn Albrecht Hummel Arno ZeunerIm Teil 2 der Studien werden aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven weitere Facetten der Körper- und Bewegungsbildung innerhalb und außerhalb von Schule thematisiert. Das betrifft den Anspruch, ein Sicher-Schwimmen-Können als Ziel und unverzichtbaren Bestandteil schulischer Grundbildung zu ermöglichen ebenso, wie die Förderung von Mündigkeit, Souveränität der Kinder und Jugendlichen im Kontext von stets gegebener Machtausübung und bildender Widerständigkeit (Resilienz) in Prozessen schulischer Körperbildung und im Nachwuchsleistungssport. Zeitlose Herausforderungen einer berufsbezogenen Lehrer- und Trainerbildung werden an unterschiedlichen Modellvorstellungen zum Verhältnis von Wissenschaft und Könnerschaft in verschiedenen Phasen des beruflichen Werdeganges erörtert. Den epiloghaften Abschluss der Studien zur Körper- und Bewegungsbildung bilden Erfahrungswerte und bilanzierende Gedankensplitter, die auf der Grundlage von Texten und Gesprächen mit einem 90-jährigen Schulsportmethodiker zusammengestellt wurden.
