Development of students’ responsibility through the principle of engagement

Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: The engagement presupposes responsible behavior of students in the training process. Determined as a principle, the engagement derives from critical existentialism thinking, an essential dimension of spiritual intelligence. In the training process, the principle of engagement refers to the creation by the teaching staff of educational contexts in which students will be encouraged to get involved, through the possibility of choice, decision-making and assu-ming responsibility in relation to their choices and decisions taken. In this article, a series of specific strategies are reflected, aimed at developing responsibility of students, namely: creating a collaborative learning environment, setting clear and relevant objectives for the student, carrying out tasks in the authentic professional field, providing constructive feedback and involving students in the decision-making process. To achieve these strategies, a general strategy relevant to the didactic context was adapted - the ,,4 What” strategy for the development of critical thinking. This strategy reflects the components through which student responsibility can be developed and assessed. Thus, the correlation between these strategies: the ,,4 What” strategy and the specific strategies generate a friendly didactic design, oriented towards the development of student responsibility in the training process.
