“…A number of initiatives have been introduced in the past twelve months to embed these values within the residential community. The first major initiative was the launch of a tailored and interactive online Residential Induction Program (Burge, 2018). Designed using Future Learn, a digital education platform, the induction has further enhanced resident awareness of rules, values and community living expectations prior to their arrival, whilst also offering students a forum through which to connect, communicate and share their experiences.…”

“…First introduced in 2016, these values provide a unique opportunity to measure community sentiment, and extend beyond rules and regulations to outline core ideals embraced by the 2,700 students across multiple campuses who call Deakin home. The ways in which these values are incorporated within the DRS induction program has been the topic of a previous paper (Burge, 2018). This paper highlights the rationale behind the introduction of these values, outlines the collaborative design, development and implementation process used to meaningfully establish and embed them within the community, and details the methodology employed to effectively measure and assess their impact.…”

“…With this research in mind, DRS' RESPECT values were introduced as a means of publically articulating the expectations and ambitions for the residential community, adopting a proactive approach to encouraging appropriate and positive behaviours, and further developing and enhancing the existing sense of belonging and shared ownership amongst the residential cohort (Burge, 2018). Officially launched in 2016, the valuesan acronym forming the word 'respect' -Responsiveness, Encouragement, Safety, Proactivity, Enjoyment, Connectedness and Tolerance -guide community expectations amongst residents.…”

Deakin's RESPECT values guide community expectations and standards amongst the on-campus residential student cohort. First introduced in 2016, these values provide a unique opportunity to measure community sentiment, and extend beyond rules and regulations to outline core ideals embraced by the 2,700 students across multiple campuses who call Deakin home. By integrating these community values into all aspects of campus life, including resident induction, rules and regulations, disciplinary processes, student leadership, and event management they have become part of the fabric of the residential community. The recent introduction of a RESPECT values index, calculated using aggregated data from targeted questions in an annual survey, provides a quantitative benchmark, the ability to examine the effectiveness of each individual value, and an opportunity to celebrate examples of positive culture. This paper highlights the rationale behind the introduction of these values, outlines the collaborative design, development and implementation processes used to meaningfully establish and embed them within the community, and details the methodology employed to effectively measure and assess their impact.

Enabler Factors for the Successful Adjustment of First-Year Students

Handbook of Research on Coping Mechanisms for First-Year Students Transitioning to Higher Education

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter presents a synopsis of enabler factors for successful adjustment of first-year students. Reviewed literature addresses the main enabler factors, which include positive and helpful interaction of students with lecturers, orientation, family environment, student experience during transition into the university and information literacy. While other students have been living in rural areas, others come from urban areas. Consequently, the two categories of learners do not adjust to institutions of higher learning in the same way. This fact has been taken into account in the course of literature review. Study findings recommend the need for the university administration and other stakeholders to acknowledge the significance of enabler factors for the successful adjustment of first-year students.

This study examines the strategic integration of data-driven practices in higher education institutions (HEIs) to optimize quality assurance (QA) mechanisms. It highlights the role of data in enhancing QA and institutional improvement, focusing on initiatives by the University Grants Committee (UGC) in Hong Kong. Key practices include developing performance indicators, establishing data management systems, and using external benchmarks to assess effectiveness in teaching, research, and governance. The study outlines principles such as evidence-based decision-making, performance monitoring, resource allocation, and strategic planning. These approaches help universities optimize resources, enhance educational quality, and support continuous improvement. Additionally, the Student Satisfaction and Need Assessment Survey gathers insights into student experiences, informing quality enhancement and promoting accountability. The survey data assist universities in tailoring services, benchmarking against peers, and improving strategic planning.
