Working with Underachieving Students in Higher Education: Fostering
Inclusion through Narration and Reflexivity presents an
international and interdisciplinary approach to the study of the
relationships between narrative devices and reflexivity in higher
education. Stemming from a collaborative European research project
called INSTALL (Innovative Solutions to Acquire Learning to Learn),
it focuses on an innovative model aimed at promoting personal
resources and reflective competencies in non-traditional,
disadvantaged and underachieving students. The book is divided into
three parts, with the first providing an exploration of the key
theoretical issues that formed the basis of the theoretical and
methodological approaches in the INSTALL Project. The second part
presents an innovative narrative methodology and discusses the most
significant phases of the training process and of the main
products. The third and last part provides a broad discussion of
higher education policies and of the need to encourage innovation
and reforms to improve the academic inclusion of underachieving
students. Chapters in the collection examine interventions in
Italy, Romania, Ireland and Spain, using a broad transnational,
intercultural and comparative approach, to consider narrative tools
using four channels: metaphoric, iconographic, writing, and the
body. This book provides theoretical insights and practical
methodologies which can be used to enhance quality teaching and
innovation, as well as to help adapt to diversity in higher
education. It will, therefore, be of key interest to academics,
researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of higher
education; sociology of education; education policy and politics;
cultural and developmental psychology; and narrative research, as
well as to those studying counselling, mentoring and coaching
