Student Agency

This study will examine student agency. Student agency is where students begin to take greater responsibility for their own learning. As part of the learning process, student agency gives students the opportunities to set their own goals, to communicate this intention with a plan of action and think about their achievements and challenges. This teaching style allows students to reflect, plan, act, assess, and revise in the process of learning and to contribute to their own learning. In addition, a student agency framework is to open student pathways and encourage student voice and choice in their education. Student agency is enabled by instructional environments that are competency-based and by using advanced technologies.
