What is Student Agency?
For years, I have asked for clarification on this, and to be honest, the easiest definition is when I Google it: Student agency is the capacity of students to take active ownership, make meaningful decisions, and exercise control over their own learning processes rather than passively receiving information. However, Vaughn supports this.
As she defines agency, it is 'the "sociocultural mediated ability to act" (Ahearn, 2001) and is the ability of students to, "give significance to the world in purposeful ways with the aim of creating, impacting and/or transforming themselves, or the conditions of their lives".' (Basu, Calabrese Barton, Clarimont, & Locke, 2009). As cited in Vaughn, M., Premo, J., Erickson, D., & McManus, C. (2020). Student agency in literacy: Validation of the Student Agency Profile (StAP). Reading Psychology, 41(6), 533–558. https://doi.org/10.1080/02702711.2020.1783147
