Help seeking is currently considered an important learning strategy that is linked to students' achievement goals and academic performance. This volume not only provides answers to who, why, and when learners seek help, but raises questions for readers to consider for future research. Chapters examine:
*help seeking as a self-regulated learning strategy and its relationship to achievement goal theory;
*help seeking in collaborative groups;
*culture and help seeking in K-12 and college contexts;
*help seeking and academic support services (such as academic advising centers);
*help seeking in computer-based interactive learning environments;
*help seeking in response to peer harassment at school; and
*help seeking in non-academic settings such as the workplace.
This book is intended for researchers, academic support personnel,and graduate students across the field of educational psychology, particularly those interested in student motivation and self-regulation.
Reviews / Votes
"This thorough, insightful, and voluminous work is valuable for anyone interested in a crash course on help seeking, including understanding old traditions, innovative studies, and new questions. The work of Karabenick and Newman may be particularly helpful for teachers and teachers in training as well as for graduate students and educational psychologists."-PsycCRITIQUES
"Help seeking can be a useful strategic tool of effective learners....The kind of assistance the help-seeker asks for as well as the kind of help that is given can have a good deal of impact upon the seeker's ability to not only solve an immediate problem but also transfer that knowledge to future problem situations....The audience for this book includes both students and teachers. We need teachers to help students understand that help seeking is not a sign of weakness but rather an important learning strategy....Thinking about help seeking and help giving--becoming more aware of our own use or non-use of these universal skills--can better our lives."
-Wilbert McKeachie
