Examining how and why some students choose to resist learning whilst undertaking tertiary education, this book provides practical tips and guidance for educators on how to work through difficult situations where learning isn't a student's priority. Considering both theory and practice, the book offers a range of practical solutions to difficult circumstances, such as the greater emphasis on distance learning, the growth of predatory or fake journals to the challenges of too much screen time, ghostwriters and plagiarism, speaking out of turn, consistent lateness, absenteeism and even violent behaviour.
Looking at contexts and behaviours where learning is rejected or ignored, through students' indifference or resistance, from a range of perspectives, this book is ideal reading for anyone working or involved in tertiary education, including teacher trainees, tutors, teacher educators, managers, administrators and lecturers working at universities and colleges, as well as students who may benefit from discussions of the problematic nature of learning.
Dr Merv Lebor FRSA, has taught at every level in the tertiary sector from basic skills to managing five different degree programmes. He has been a teacher educator, examiner, external moderator, quality reviewer and senior tutor for HE in an Art College. He is currently a visiting lecturer in education departments and runs well-being sessions.
