How to Help a Student's Commitment to Learn

Positive social engagement, according to Anita Woolfolk (1998), which of course, also includes education, is enhanced when students understand that choices have consequences (Purje, 2014). One of the keys to achieving this goal, of positive engagement, according to Woolfolk, is through the consistent application of self- management. Woolfolk highlights that psychologists became interested in self-management behaviors because studies found that students subjected to externally imposed behavioral regimes, who were compelled to conform to a set of behavioral norms, too often refused to behave appropriately.
