According to the author, Meaningful Student Involvement is the process of engaging students in every facet of the educational process for the purpose of strengthening their commitment to education, community and democracy. This publication reviews literature that broadly summarizes, examines, and accesses examples of Meaningful Student Involvement. The articles, journals, and books reviewed come from both scholarly researches that represent a scientific, theory-based approach; and applied research that employs case studies resulting in theories. The goal of this research guide is to identify what literature exists and evaluate its value in advocating for Meaningful Student Involvement. (Author)
