本期特稿-反思学生的毅力-由美利坚合众国（美国）锡拉丘兹大学杰出名誉教授Vincent Tinto教授编写，他是STARS的长期朋友和支持者。 文森特探讨的情况下，动机被认为是一个重要方面的大学生的心理，通过借鉴理论框架，研究和实践经验有关的问题。他将这些广泛、详细、丰富但往往有些晦涩难懂的数据综合成一个清晰可信的动机结构关键维度三部曲学生自我效能感、归属感和课程感知价值。这种对文献的解释是一种个人的但知情的反思，是一个及时的作品，突出了今年在澳大利亚阿德莱德举行的会议上演讲的广度和深度，学生的多样性是我们关注增强学生体验的核心。
在这篇开篇文章中，文森特直接提到了为这次会议所选的STARS论文，这些论文也讨论了学生坚持、自我效能和在自己的机构社区内建立归属感的重要性（Fernandes，福特，Rayner&Pretorius; Kahu，纳尔逊，&Picton; McFarlane，Spes-Skrbis T Naylor; Smallhorn）。 与他对社会正义的立场和他对服务不足学生的倡导相呼应，文森特提醒我们，教育公平差距仍然存在，他鼓励我们通过学生的眼睛来看待坚持的问题，以支持他们的毅力和完成，从而帮助减少教育劣势。
The Feature for this issue—Reflections on Student Persistence—has been prepared by Professor Vincent Tinto, Distinguished University Professor Emeritus at Syracuse University, United States of America (USA) and a long-time friend and supporter of STARS. Vincent explores the case for motivation to be considered as a significant aspect of the tertiary student psyche by drawing on theoretical frameworks, research and practical experiences related to the issue. He synthesises this extensive, detailed, rich but often somewhat impenetrable data into a trilogy of clear and credible key dimensions of the motivation construct—student self-efficacy, sense of belonging and perceived value of the curriculum. This interpretation of the literature is a personal but informed reflection and is a timely piece which highlights the breadth and profundity of the presentations at this year’s conference in Adelaide, Australia where students in all their diversity are central to our focus on enhancing the student experience.
In this opening article, Vincent refers directly to the STARS papers selected for this Conference issue of the Journal which also address the importance of student persistence, self-efficacy and building the sense of belonging within their own institutional communities (Fernandes, Ford, Rayner & Pretorius; Kahu, Nelson, & Picton; McFarlane, Spes-Skrbis T Naylor; Smallhorn). Echoing his position on social justice and his advocacy for underserved students, Vincent reminds us that educational equity gaps still exist, and he encourages us to see the issue of persistence through the eyes of the students to support their perseverance and completion and thereby help reduce educational disadvantage.
