Spanish term or phrase: oficio de estudiante responsable
SPAIN. This appears in an article on academic engagement. Obviously I know what a responsible student is, but it's the "oficio" part that has me baffled. Apparently it's an established concept, for example in the link below, but I can't seem to find an established English equivalent.

https://www.igualdadycalidadcba.gov.ar/SIPEC-CBA/publicacion...

The actual sentence (in which the term appears in quotes) I have to translate is this:

"El engagement académico también se relaciona con el aprendizaje activo, puesto que los estudiantes implicados están mejor predispuestos a autorregular su aprendizaje y son más capaces de integrar nuevas estrategias durante su proceso formativo. En el ámbito educativo, esta implicación y la identificación con el “oficio de estudiante responsable” se debe traducir en el logro de buenos resultados académicos"

the work of a responsible student
Explanation:
"oficio" means work, among other things, and as being a student is neither a business or a job, "work" might be an option.

I learnt a long time ago that literal translations are not always good, indeed in most cases they aren't. I'm pleased to see that you agree with my option.
Enjoy your day Neil.

In the end, I suggested "responsible student profile" and the client agrees, so that's the term I'm using.

Asker: Gracias. Ya hemos decidido que "profile" (perfil) funciona mejor en inglés que las traducciones de "oficio" de costumbre.
