Towards a holistic model for understanding student resilience in education

Abstract

Many views of fostering student resilience come from the perspective of a set of individual student traits, skill sets, or the lack of ability to 'tough it out', rather than viewing resilience as a holistic entity which involves relationships, community and context. This belief, in turn, disconnects learners from the socio-cultural context in which their learning experience is embedded. These factors can play an equally pivotal role on participation and learning outcomes. This poster proposes a holistic model for understanding student resilience in a time of rapid change in education.
