How to Create Environments of Belonging for Students: New Perspectives on School Belonging Research

Thu, April 24, 5:25 to 6:55pm MDT (5:25 to 6:55pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Terrace Level, Bluebird Ballroom Room 3C

Session Type: Workshop

Abstract

The aim of this session is to present the state-of-the-art on school belonging research as well as to generate future directions across several perspectives in the field that rarely come together in one place, including social psychologists, educational psychologists, PK-12 researchers, higher education researchers, observational researchers, and intervention researchers. Some of the pressing questions about the school belonging literature revolve around definitional issues of school belonging, belonging measurement, connections with other educational psychology constructs (e.g., motivation, achievement), how to intervene to promote belonging, and different theoretical frameworks. The panelists will consolidate existing perspectives, thereby both underscoring the value of methods, models, and theories involved in school belonging research, and also promoting their application in future research on this topic.
