Abstract

The purpose of this article is to address student absenteeism through the theoretical lens of ecological agency and to encourage the use of ecological agency in a school setting to address student absenteeism more holistically. We align absenteeism research within the ecological agency framework and suggest that absenteeism is a manifestation of agency influenced by contextual factors unique to the student’s ecological context and reinforced through punishment. Observing absenteeism through the lens of ecological agency provides an alternative, unique viewpoint giving insight into the process of how students choose to engage in absenteeism based on their ecological factors. The article also intends to illustrate pragmatic use of viewing absenteeism through the lens of ecological agency by providing a sample of interventions that are used to resolve contextual factors and improve student attendance.

学生缺勤与生态代理

本文的目的是通过生态代理的理论视角来解决学生旷课问题，并鼓励在学校环境中使用生态代理来更全面地解决学生旷学问题。我们将旷课研究纳入生态能动性框架，并认为旷课是一种受学生生态环境特有的环境因素影响的能动性表现，并通过惩罚得到加强。通过生态机构的视角观察旷课现象，提供了一种替代的、独特的视角，让我们深入了解学生如何根据生态因素选择旷课的过程。文章还打算通过提供一个干预措施样本来说明从生态机构的角度看待旷课的实际使用，这些干预措施用于解决背景因素和提高学生出勤率。
