However personally committed faculty may be to helping students learn, their students are not always as eager to participate in this endeavor, and may react with both active and passive resistant behaviors, including poor faculty evaluations. The purpose of this book is to help faculty develop a coherent and integrated understanding of the various causes of student resistance to learning, providing them with a rationale for responding constructively, and enabling them to create conditions conducive to implementing effective learning strategies. In this book readers will discover an innovative integrated model that accounts for student behaviors and creates a foundation for intentional and informed discussion, evaluation, and the development of effective counter strategies. The model takes into account institutional context, environmental forces, students' prior negative classroom experiences, their cognitive development, readiness to change, and metacognition. The various chapters take the reader through the model's elements, exploring their practical implications for teaching, whether relating to course design, assessments, assignments, or interactions with students. The book includes a chapter written entirely by students, offering their insights into the causes of resistance, and their reflections on how participating on this project has affected them. While of great value for faculty, this book is also useful to faculty developers advising future and current faculty, as well as to administrators, offering insight into how institutional values impact teaching practice and student attitudes.

To that end, the authors propose an integrated model of student resistance (IMSR) that lays out the different types of resistance instructors may encounter along two axes (passive / active, asserting autonomy / preserving the self). Then, the subsequent chapters examine in greater details the possible explanations for student resistance, and possible avenues to overcome it. The bulk of the book though is on diagnosis and examination, more than remedy. That being said, the book also provides copious sources and resources to that end.
An important part of this is that resistance is a systemic concept, not a psychological trait, with multiple possible causes at different levels of academic institutions: "Student resistance is an outcome, a motivational state in which students reject learning opportunities due to systemic factors. The presence of resistance signals to the instructor the need to assess the systemic variables that are contributing to this outcome in order to intervene effectively and enhance student learning."

The book provides a lot of food for thoughts, especially for instructors looking to make the jump to more active learning pedagogy, while warning that there is a stiff price to pay for doing so in terms of students resistance and lower student evaluations. (
