- 520 __ |a "Higher education is a high stakes process involving engagement with curricula and often entails coping with the onslaught of assessments and examinations. This process creates a level of intensity that impacts on the student experience in higher education. It is, therefore, important to consider not only the motivational aspects of learning but also quality of life issues, as they have profound effects on students. Quality of life affects the way students interact with their formal education, and has wide-reaching effects on future careers and their ability to coordinate everyday events. Integrating these two concepts, student motivation and quality of life, brings together the explicit elements that underpin learning in the higher education context, creating links between the affective and social aspects of the student life. This synthesis is integral to improving student retention and quality of life and has important ramifications for educationalists, administrators, pastoral care and academic support service personnel, and students themselves. Some highlights of the book include:Applied Positive Psychology in Higher EducationInternationalisation and Quality of Life: A Taiwanese PerspectiveThe Computer Assisted Learning for the Mind (CALM) Website: Teaching Skills to Increase ResilienceThe Oxford University Peer Support Programme: Addressing the Wellbeing of StudentsHigher Education and Student Stress: Reclaiming Light, Liberty and LearningImproving academic quality of life through attribution- and motivation-focused counsellingMarcus Henning is a Senior Lecturer and Post-Graduate Academic Advisor at the Centre for Medical and Health Sciences Education at the University of Auckland.Chris Kra?geloh is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Auckland University of Technology.Glenis Wong-Toi is a Learning Disabilities Advisor at Student Learning Services (Libraries and Learning Services) at the University of Auckland"-- |c Provided by publisher.
