Focusing on the application of student learning principles, the book examines how neurobiological and psychosocial development influences how students learn in residence halls. The book is filled with examples, useful strategies, practical advice, and best practices for building community and shaping residential environments that produce measureable learning outcomes. Readers will find models for a curriculum-based approach to programming and for developing student staff competencies, as well as an analysis of what types of residential experiences influence student learning. An examination of how to assess student learning in residence halls and of the challenges residence halls face provide readers with insight into how to strategically plan for the future of residence halls as learning centers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe lack of recent literature on student learning in college residence halls belies the changes that have taken place. More traditional-age students are enrolled in college than ever before, and universities are building more residence halls to meet the increased demand for student housing. This book addresses these developments, reviews contemporary research, and provides up-to-date advice for creating residence hall environments that achieve educationally purposeful outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscover which educational benefits are associated with living in residence halls\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn how residential environments influence student behavior\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCreate residence hall environments that produce measureable learning outcomes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMonitor effectiveness with a process of systematic assessment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eResidence halls are an integral part of the college experience; with the right programs in place they can become dynamic centers of student learning. \u003ci\u003eStudent Learning in College Residence Halls\u003c\/i\u003e is a comprehensive resource for residence hall professionals and others interested in improving students' learning experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Tables and Figures ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xxi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Author xxiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
