Abstract

Studying in college is a period of transition towards a higher level of maturity for students. Therefore, a structured and measured pattern of student development is very important to be designed and implemented in campus life. This study aims to describe freshmen’ self-development in one of the tertiary institutions in Bandung based on The Seven Vectors of Student Identity Development according to Chickering (1993). This study examined whether the theoretical model expressed in previous studies, between areas of competence, managing emotions, interdependence, and mature interpersonal relationships, contributes to area of identity development, which in turn could increase purpose and integrity. There were 4,857 freshmen of class 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 who filled out the student development questionnaire. Descriptive, comparison, correlation, and path analysis analyses were used. Results show the level of student self-development in all areas of development is at a moderate level, hence needs to be developed more. The model fit evaluation showed that the theoretical model regarding the effect of vectors in the Student Development construct on freshmen at "X" Bandung University was suitable (RMSEA = 0.080; TLI = 0.990; NFI = 0.995). Suggestions for universities to provide more focused and effective student self-development programs.
