Thinking Theologically about Student Success: Higher Education with a Higher Calling
Cockle, Theodore F.; Vanderpool, Sinda K.; Hao, David Q.
International Journal of Christianity & Education, v27 n3 p276-299 2023
Scholarly definitions of student success have become increasingly transactional and thereby reflect a specific form of modern utilitarianism. In this paper, we use a theological map to explore the terrain of contemporary student success scholarship and practice in an effort to re-imagine how the Christian faith might animate a vision of student success for scholar-practitioners. First, we review the current scholarly landscape, second, we show where it falls short. Third, we use the practical theological method to outline a theological vision of student success. Finally, we propose ways to bridge the gap between current practice and theological vision.
