Self-management is the capacity to work effectively toward meaningful goals, and be flexible in the face of set-backs (Cranney et al., 2016). Note that the first half of this definition reflects planning behaviour and the second half reflects resilience behaviour, but both components are intertwined by the process of flexibly working toward meaningful personal outcomes. Students with higher self-reported behavioural self-management have higher self-reported well-being, resilience, academic performance, and capacity to adapt to change.
The evidence-based strategies listed in this manual are associated with higher academic performance and well-being, and are based on research in goal-setting, motivation, time-management, mindfulness, psychological flexibility and positive psychology. The following two sections (based on using the Moodle section and The Rubber Brain) provide suggestions to course coordinators as to how to integrate into the formal curriculum opportunities for students to further develop their self-management skills.
