 一个决策工具，引导学生通过一个系统的识别过程, 真北在青少年激励和形成性教育方面采用基于证据的最佳实践，帮助学生调查和发现寻找“目标”的个人途径,这句话远远超出了在一个经常把个人名利作为衡量成就的决定性标准的社会中对成功的狭隘定义.

根据梁和她同事的电子游戏正规平台，真北指导学生关注四个要素——被称为4p——这有助于找到目标:
(1)与那些在他们实现有目的的愿望的过程中培养和鼓励他们的人建立增强人们能力的关系;
(2) Passion—defining what is loved and valued;
(3) Propensity— identifying particular skills and strengths related to one’s purpose; and
(4) Prosocial benefit— identifying ways to use one’s passions, strengths, and skills that contribute toward the greater good.

梁的电子游戏正规平台团队是由BC的学生和教师电子游戏正规平台人员合作的, 和实践者——通过设计基于经验的工具，使学生能够创造对个人有意义和对世界有影响的生活，致力于推进林奇学派的形成教育工作.

“我们的电子游戏正规平台表明，最终最满足、最快乐的年轻人是由目标感引导的. Formative education helps students to identify their passions, and how they can use them for the greater good.”

Strategic Direction II

Enhance the University’s commitment to formation among students, faculty, 和员工来推进电子游戏软件的使命，加强其机构文化.

电子游戏软件独特的形成文化是大学教育方法的基础和活力, particularly its goals to integrate intellectual excellence, religious commitment, and service to wider society, and to remain faithful to its educational and religious heritage. Boston College holds that liberal arts education, 参与促进共同利益的电子游戏正规平台和学术活动, and service to the local, national, and global community help students to be more free and human, and to become generous and engaged members of society.

During the last ten years, Boston College has devoted significant resources to formation, especially among undergraduates, inviting them to consider their gifts, relationships, and actions, and to live lives marked by integrity, engagement, and connection with others. 它特别要求学生培养思维和心灵的习惯，如道德推理, eloquence, resilience, and empathy—that distinguish Boston College graduates. 但大学认识到需要扩大和加深对形成的理解, particularly in more intentional ways among faculty and staff, 谁不仅在帮助学生智力发展方面发挥着关键作用, but also personally, ethically, and spiritually.


To implement this Strategic Direction, Boston College will:

  • 加强项目，提高教职员工对电子游戏软件使命和传统的参与度;
  • advance the University’s culture of care and welcome;
  • 创建“社区”，将电子游戏软件社区的更多成员聚集在一起进行对话和学习;
  • establish formation programs specifically designed for graduate and professional students; and
  • sustain and promote Boston College’s Jesuit heritage.

Formation

"I define student formation as a three part journey—social formation, spiritual formation, 以及学术形成——以及理解这三者是如何相互关联的, interconnected, and weaved into each other."

— Michael Osaghae '20
