  5. Success in the Dispositions to Stay Project Student marks Students returning for the next stage of their programme Students developing their learning dispositions as measured by ELLI Student perceptions that they are developing their learning power

  6. Seven Dimensions of Learning Power • Changing and learning* • Meaning making* • Critical curiosity* • Creativity • Learning relationships • Strategic awareness • Resilience • Being stuck & static • Data accumulation • Passivity • Being rule bound • Isolation & dependence • Being robotic • Fragility and dependence

  7. Quantitative Findings Significant, positive correlations between first year student marks and critical curiosity Significant, positive correlations between first year student marks and changing and learning Negative correlations for some groups with creativity ‘Withdrawers’ higher in strategic awareness and resilience – issue for further study

  8. Gender differences Men scored significantly higher on critical curiosity, resilience and creativity Women had higher mean marks Men achieved significantly higher marks when they scored higher on critical curiosity, changing and learning, and strategic awareness

  9. Qualitative Findings Triangulation in the areas of critical curiosity and changing and learning Students perceived benefits of self-reflection for personal development Students liked the language of ELLI Staff positive, some concerns over practical issues

  10. Where we go from here More focus on withdrawers next year Examining groups high and low in key dimensions Taking on student perspective More international comparisons Production and evaluation of good practice guidebook

  11. Structure of discussion What are the most appropriate initiatives to boost critical curiosity and changing and learning? Should there be a gender specific approach? What are the potential benefits to students of supporting them to reflect on their dispositions to learn? What approach could best realise these potential benefits?
