Popis: The tenth chapter—Reflexivity and improvements in academic performance (G. Esposito, M.F. Freda, S. Manzo)—analyzed the relationship between reflexivity and academic performance. In different disciplines, several studies have shown that reflexive competences can play a key role in improving academic performance because assuming a reflexive position on one’s own path can balance emotional and cognitive dimensions and support student learning processes. The chapter explores this issue by introducing the construct of agency and analyzing how a productive performance can be only one of the possible agentive actions developed as a result of reflexive competence. Finally, the chapter presents the evaluation model developed for the INSTALL Project and the main findings that were inherent in the relationships between reflexive competence, agency, and academic performance.
