Abstract:
|
In the Appreciative Advising model, sometimes it can be difficult to get to the Dream, Design, and Deliver phases as appointments often turn into fixing immediate problems. These phases are essential for guiding students on setting and pursuing goals. Research shows that students are motivated to persist when they identify goals and connect learning to achieve them (Caspar, 2014-2015). Seeing the need at my campus for students to set goals earlier, I developed a version of concept mapping for academic planning for use in classroom presentations. The presentation takes students into the Dream phase of Appreciative Advising and can easily lead into Design and Deliver phases in future appointments. Attendees can expect an overview of a couple approaches to concept mapping for academic planning, along with how it connects back to Appreciative Advising. |
