Description
College life is considered as a meaningful journey. Students acquire a fundamental understanding of their new opportunities, working with many good role models. Thematically organized, this book, Exploring the Opportunities and Challenges of College Students, brings various perspectives by focusing on the importance of psychological context--examining how colleges, universities and their social environments, and ways in which college students become who they are, how they grow, and how they reach the full potential. The authors integrate empirical research throughout the book to present a meaningful story of both psychological and educational research and its applications to college students' daily lives. Teaching pedagogy, student-centered learning, and lives in context enrich our insights and bring exploration of the ways in which college means us as a part of the lifespan. Both of our authors' professional and personal experiences enable us to provide realistic examples of how to apply necessary skills we describe in the book. It will also yield pertinent information about the college experience, and review the issues that apply to a campus setting. It is our attempt to help remedy the problem of why college students have difficult times as a major concern, although college faculty and staff do their very best to keep schools and classrooms safe, organized, positive, and productive. We hope this book will provide necessary tools for many current and future college faculty and staff and that those individuals who desire to belong our academic life.
