Gerhardt, Megan
Journal of Education for Business, v83 n1 p11-18 Sep-Oct 2007
Learning the skills of self-management is an essential task for students in the 21st century. A total of 223 undergraduate students participated in 4 self-management tutorials that presented the components of understanding and mastering self-management skills including (a) self-assessment, (b) goal setting, (c) time management, and (d) self-regulation. The author assessed students' self-management skills pre- and posttraining and reactions to the tutorials. Results revealed significant increases in self-management skills posttraining and favorable student reactions to the tutorials. Follow-up data on a subset of participants (n = 44) 2 years later indicated additional significant increases in use and perceived usefulness of self-management skills. Self-Management Tutorial 1: Self-Assessment is appended.
