Add value to the student experience with purposeful residential
programs Grounded in current research and practical experience,
Student Learning in College Residence Halls: What Works, What
Doesn't, and Why shows how to structure the peer environment in
residence halls to advance student learning. Focusing on the
application of student learning principles, the book examines how
neurobiological and psychosocial development influences how
students learn in residence halls. The book is filled with
examples, useful strategies, practical advice, and best practices
for building community and shaping residential environments that
produce measureable learning outcomes. Readers will find models for
a curriculum-based approach to programming and for developing
student staff competencies, as well as an analysis of what types of
residential experiences influence student learning. An examination
of how to assess student learning in residence halls and of the
challenges residence halls face provide readers with insight into
how to strategically plan for the future of residence halls as
learning centers. The lack of recent literature on student learning
in college residence halls belies the changes that have taken
place. More traditional-age students are enrolled in college than
ever before, and universities are building more residence halls to
meet the increased demand for student housing. This book addresses
these developments, reviews contemporary research, and provides
up-to-date advice for creating residence hall environments that
achieve educationally purposeful outcomes. * Discover which
educational benefits are associated with living in residence halls
* Learn how residential environments influence student behavior *
Create residence hall environments that produce measureable
learning outcomes * Monitor effectiveness with a process of
systematic assessment Residence halls are an integral part of the
college experience; with the right programs in place they can
become dynamic centers of student learning. Student Learning in
College Residence Halls is a comprehensive resource for residence
hall professionals and others interested in improving students'
learning experience.
