STUDENT INVOLVEMENT THEORY“…the most precious institutional resource may be time.”
![Page 12: MAPS: Using Theory to Increase Student …...MAPS: Using Theory to Increase Student Engagement and Retention Presented by: Eric C. Camarillo The University of Houston-Victoria CREATING](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022043020/5f3c7a0d822e9e55bf6c0482/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Student Involvement Theory
• Alexander Astin– Student time as finite resource– Emphasizes involvement as a behavior– More engagement corresponds to higher rates of
persistence
![Page 13: MAPS: Using Theory to Increase Student …...MAPS: Using Theory to Increase Student Engagement and Retention Presented by: Eric C. Camarillo The University of Houston-Victoria CREATING](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022043020/5f3c7a0d822e9e55bf6c0482/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Five Postulates
• Investment of physical and psychological energy in various objects
• Involvement occurs on a continuum• Has both quantitative and qualitative features• Student development is proportional to
involvement• Effectiveness of policies is related to capacity
to increase involvement
