Responsibility Theory centres on cultivating an internal locus of control, encouraging students to recognize themselves as being causal agents whose choices shape their learning, relationships, and consequences. When students successfully internalize this stance, their behavior shifts from reactive to reflective and from compliance‑driven to self‑directed, self-regulated, and self-managed actions (Bandura, 1986; Woolfolk, 1998; Purje, 2014).
