This book was released on 2018 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An increasing number of students, who in past generations would successfully pursued careers without a college degree, are enrolling in college and, later, dropping-out at rates nearing 50% before their second year. The failure of college students to complete degrees harms their self-esteem, saddles them with student loan debt, and prevents the development of the 21st century workforce envisioned by state and national leaders. Academic advising is one of the most effective institutional tools supporting student persistence and degree completion according to leading researchers in the field. The majority of literature surrounding academic advising suggests that many institutions employ a transactional advising approach that, while cheap and efficient, is completely ineffective in supporting at-risk students. A more effective approach is an intrusive advising strategy in which the advisor proactively supports and educates thereby facilitating the transformation of high school graduates into persisting and successful college students. While this approach is both time consuming and expensive, it yields retention results worth investigating. Using a qualitative case study methodology, this research examined an intrusive academic advising approach at a large, public, four-year research institution struggling with the retention of an at-risk population comprising first-generational and under-prepared students. Ten student participants who underwent the advising approach shared their perceptions of the role the intrusive-developmentalapproach played in their academic success and choice to remain enrolled into their second year. Results indicate that proactive, intrusive advising paired with a close advisor-student working relationship provided at-risk students with the encouragement and support necessary for their persistence and success.
Download or read book Handbook of Research on Social Justice and Equity in Education written by Keengwe, Jared and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2022-05-06 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is growing pressure on teachers and other educators to understand and adopt the best ways to work with the various races, cultures, and languages that diverse learners represent in the ever-increasing culturally-diverse learning environments. Establishing sound cross-cultural pedagogy is also critical given that racial, cultural, and linguistic integration has the potential to increase academic success for all learners. To that end, there is also a need for educators to prepare graduates who will better meet the needs of culturally diverse learners as well as support their students to become successful global citizens. The Handbook of Research on Social Justice and Equity in Education highlights cross-cultural perspectives, challenges, and opportunities pertaining to promoting cultural competence, equity, and social justice in education. It also explores multiple concepts of building a bridge from a monocultural pedagogical framework to cross-cultural knowledge. Covering topics such as diversity education and global citizenship, this major reference work is ideal for academicians, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, instructors, and students.

Download or read book An Examination of the Effects of Intrusive Advising and Support Services on Academically At Risk Students written by Earl Jones and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research study compared the effects of the intrusive form of developmental academic advising (IDAA) and the influence of additional academic support services on the mean cumulative Grade Point Averages (GPAs) of 4 randomly assembled groups of academically at-risk college students during 2 separate semesters. Academically at-risk students are defined as those students whose cumulative GPAs are below academic good standing at a university. The mean cumulative GPA of each student group was averaged prior to the beginning and at the end of the Spring 2012 and Fall 2012 semesters, respectively. All of these students were enrolled in a private university in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The results of this study imply that using IDAA with a comprehensive offering of additional academic support services could provide greater academic improvement assistance to academically at-risk students than a less intrusive process.

Book excerpt: This research project used a qualitative case study design to determine the usefulness of an intrusive advisement (IA) model at a small, public, community college in southern New Jersey. The 30 participants in this research study were Academic Advisors (n = 12), who practiced IA for at least one year and students (n = 18), that were in an IA support cohort (Athletics-ATH, Educational Opportunity Program-EOF, HSI STEM – HSI, Las Vias-LV, TRIO/Student Support Services-SSS, and Workforce-WF). The participants were interviewed individually about their experience with IA and asked about various factors that could potentially be associated with IA (i.e. retention, multiple touchpoints, navigation, coping skills, leadership, career development, Starfish [early alert system], and retention). The interviews yielded 15 emergent themes from the data overall (relationship, care, career, navigation, coping/stress relief, trust, leadership, Starfish, support/guidance, goal, retention, success/education plan, communication, helpful, and staying on track). Of these themes, relationship and Starfish were the top emergent themes (stated most frequently in the data) for advisors and students. Comparatively, advisors and students were close on the following themes: support/guidance, coping/stress relief, helpful, staying on track, and communication (5% or under differential). Lastly, other themes that emerged when IA was implemented and are supportive themes comparatively are navigation, leadership, care, career, success/education plan, goal and retention. Implications for practice are centered around the top five comparable themes as stated above. Recommendations are based on these implications and center around advisor/student ratio, having a consistent advisor from inception to graduation, a comprehensive early alert/intervention system, and professional development for advisors.
Download or read book The Impacts of Intrusive Advising on the Persistence of First year Science Technology and Mathematics Students Identified Using a Risk Prediction Instrument written by Matthew Allen Campbell and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in a large, urban, public university, this study explores the use of an institutionally specific risk instrument developed to identify students who had a high risk of attrition and the effectiveness of subsequent interventions deployed through advising. Though implemented throughout the institution, this study identified control and treatment groups in the University's College of Science and Technology in order to examine the impact of the risk instrument and advising interventions on first-year retention. The data were analyzed to determine the accuracy of the risk instrument in predicting risk of attrition for students, to identify alternative "tailored" models for assessing risk, and to examine an advising model employed to actively respond to the identified risk. Results are reported to inform institutions about the accuracy of the prediction instrument and the specifics of advising interventions. Special consideration is given to the social justice mission of the institution and the ethical considerations of how to respond to risk assessments.

Download or read book Assessing the Effectiveness of Targeted Intrusive Advising and Student Success Using an Early Intervention Program written by Jesse Poole and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The institution in this study is a medium size, public liberal arts institution located in a rural setting. At the beginning of Fall 2012 term, 5,366 undergraduate and 922 graduate students were enrolled in the university's ten-week quarter system. In an attempt to increase student success and retention, the institution implemented a student success initiative. This initiative used an early alert and intervention program to prompt targeted intrusive advising appointments with students marked at-risk by faculty or staff. A student success analysis based on student contact was conducted to identify any correlations between the population of students who responded and received an intervention, compared to the population that did not respond. Seven hundred and thirty two requests for intervention were submitted between the Winter of 2013 and the Spring of 2014 (excluding summer session); averaging 146 referrals per term. In total, 672 students were referred using the early alert system. Of the 672, the university intervened with 279 students (42%); 393 did not respond to intervention requests (58%), which is a consistent response rate when compared to other early alert research (Dobele, Gangemi, Kopanidis, & Thomas, 2013; Hudson, 2006). When evaluating the student population that received an intervention, 137 of the 279 were considered successful or 49%. One hundred and thirty one (47%) did not demonstrate positive academic progress and 11 (4%) were considered neutral. The population of students that did not respond showed an increased level of negative academic progression. Of the 672 referred students, 393 did not respond to a request for intervention and 52%, or 204, did not demonstrate positive academic progress. Additionally, only 41%, or 161, were considered successful and 7% (28) were considered neutral. In contrast, the student population that received an intervention had a 49% success rate; a success rate difference of 8%.

Download or read book Faculty led Student Advising Model written by Rochelle A. Moore and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This case study explored how a faculty-led advising model at a large nontraditional university consistently results in above-average student persistence rates. Through investigating the role of the faculty, the project considered why this advising model is effective, how it was developed, how faculty implement the model, what works, and what does not work. The purpose of this case study was to understand how specific faculty members make sense of their role as academic advisors and construct knowledge about the importance of academic advising, applying the seven properties of sensemaking as a lens. The findings revealed three overarching themes, and six sub-themes, which emerged as the faculty described their role. First, engaging in reflective practice during the advising process leads to increases in self-efficacy. Second, through holistic and contextual interaction, student success is improved. Third, a connection between altruism and advising guides faculty behaviors and contributes to student success. Implications and recommendations include a focus on employing faculty with skills aligned with the advising model; developing more focused training opportunities; developing a reward system to illustrate the value of this advising process and devising an assessment methodology to verify effectiveness of the process"--Author's abstract.
Download or read book Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-07-29 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order for the United States to maintain the global leadership and competitiveness in science and technology that are critical to achieving national goals, we must invest in research, encourage innovation, and grow a strong and talented science and technology workforce. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation explores the role of diversity in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce and its value in keeping America innovative and competitive. According to the book, the U.S. labor market is projected to grow faster in science and engineering than in any other sector in the coming years, making minority participation in STEM education at all levels a national priority. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation analyzes the rate of change and the challenges the nation currently faces in developing a strong and diverse workforce. Although minorities are the fastest growing segment of the population, they are underrepresented in the fields of science and engineering. Historically, there has been a strong connection between increasing educational attainment in the United States and the growth in and global leadership of the economy. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation suggests that the federal government, industry, and post-secondary institutions work collaboratively with K-12 schools and school systems to increase minority access to and demand for post-secondary STEM education and technical training. The book also identifies best practices and offers a comprehensive road map for increasing involvement of underrepresented minorities and improving the quality of their education. It offers recommendations that focus on academic and social support, institutional roles, teacher preparation, affordability and program development.

Download or read book Educational Policy Goes to School written by Gilberto Q. Conchas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational policies explicitly implemented in order to reduce educational gaps and promote access and success for disenfranchised youth can backfire—and often have the unintended result of widening those gaps. In this interdisciplinary collection of case studies, contributors examine cases of policy backfire, when policies don’t work, have unintended consequences, and when policies help. Although policy reform is thought of as an effective way to improve schooling structures and to diminish the achievement gap, many such attempts to reform the system do not adequately address the legacy of unequal policies and the historic and pervasive inequalities that persist in schools. Exploring the roots of school inequality and examining often-ignored negative policy outcomes, contributors illuminate the causes and consequences of poor policymaking decisions and demonstrate how policies can backfire, fail, or have unintended success.
