Predicting students’ sense of belonging + COVID-19 data

*BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND*

Our recent session, Predicting students’ sense of belonging using longitudinal SES data, was so popular that our presenters have agreed to rerun this session, with an additional look at the COVID-19 data.

This session will be a rerun of the 2013–2019 dataset, and will be followed with what has changed. Our presenters will include a comparison of what has happened since their 2019 baseline data.

Presenters:

• Joey Crawford, Senior Lecturer in Management, Tasmanian School of Business and Economics
• Taren Sanders, Senior Research Fellow & Program Lead, Institute for Positive Psychology & Education, Australian Catholic University

Chair: Cassie Saunders, Research Analyst, University of Tasmania

Ensuring and maintaining students’ sense of belonging at University is an ongoing challenge for higher education providers, particularly as more students experience loneliness and low well-being. This session will share the findings from a recent study conducted in collaboration with the University of Tasmania, Monash University, Australian Catholic University, and the University of Queensland, which examined the causal predictors of ‘sense of belonging’ using longitudinal SES data drawing on a machine learning model. Key predictors of students’ sense of belonging will be discussed in the context of transition, connection, and retention.
