Incorporating Student Voice in the Transformation Process

Abstract

The voices of students have been missing from the discussion of educational change and the change process. Students are the key stakeholders in the change process. Educators and policymakers need to think of students as the potential beneficiaries of change. We rarely think of students as participants in a process of change and organizational life. Additionally, there are many who believe that students are not capable of making informed decisions. Student voice is important to foster in our classroom because learning becomes more memorable, and students develop research and leadership skills which helps them in building their career. This paper argues that students voice is important in development of educational institution, nation and also to make the student as a perfect confident individual. This paper describes the importance of considering the student voice in classroom and as well as college and how it effectively changes the college and classroom environment. It also gives a clear idea of the methods that can be implemented to involve students in different activities and transform them as a student who can face any challenge and achieve success.
