Download or read book The Influence of a Policy Change on the Withdrawal of Juniors and Seniors at a Four year University written by Carol Anna Slabinski and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each semester, students withdraw from one or more of their classes, increasing their time to degree and impeding the progress of other students who might have been able to complete courses if the seats were available. In the literature on retention and persistence, juniors and seniors are not studied as frequently as freshmen and sophomores. Withdrawal has economic consequences that extend past the individual student to the institution and beyond. The purpose of this research is to investigate the rate of withdrawal for this population at a four-year, public university and determine if the rate of withdrawal decreases as a result of the implementation of a system wide policy that restricts the number of units from which students can withdraw. Student level enrollment data from the Office of Institutional Research and the Office of the University Registrar and financial aid data from the Office of Analytics are used to examine the rate of withdrawal over time and any changes that coincide with the implementation of the policy. Using linear, probit, and logit regressions, this study finds that the incidence of withdrawal for juniors and seniors is decreasing and the magnitude of the effect is increasing over time since the implementation of the policy, but the policy may be only part of the explanation of the drop in withdrawals. Based on the literature review, other factors considered were gender, age, major, ethnicity, admit status, units attempted, and grade point average. The 18-unit limit for withdrawal does not appear to be binding. Future research on the interaction between variables is planned.
Download or read book The Effects of Previous Exposure to Independent Study Courses and Open Courseware on Withdrawal from Subsequent Independent Study Courses written by Mary M. Stevens and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined factors affecting withdrawal rates using a selection of high school and college-level courses from BYU Independent Study (BYU IS). Exposure to BYU Open Courseware (OCW) curriculum prior to registration had no significant effect on withdrawal rates. Prior enrollment in a BYU IS course had a statistically significant positive effect on withdrawal rates, a surprising result. Further HLM analysis of 83,707 students indicated that at least some of the variability in student withdrawal behavior at the high school level was influenced by prior enrollment, the online course format, and courses offered in the fine arts. For both high school and college courses, students enrolled in an online (rather than paper-based "correspondence") course were less likely to withdraw than their paper-based peers. Finally, for college courses, students enrolled in lower division courses were more likely to withdraw from their courses. Students enrolled in Career and Counseling, Engineering Technology, Life Sciences, Family Home and Social Sciences, College of Fine Arts and Communications, Marriott School of Business, or Religious Education courses were less likely to withdraw from their courses than students enrolling in courses from other colleges.

Download or read book Experience of Registered Nurses who Voluntarily Withdraw from Their BSN Program written by Samantha A. Girard and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The factors that influence whether or not a nurse finishes a BSN program are many, but the effect on dignity and well-being are immeasurable. Place-bound and stuck, these incompletions affect not only the nurse but also the profession, leaving a deficit. Understanding the meaning of withdrawing from a RN-BSN program is the first step toward interpreting extant data in the context of experience and is expected to guide improvements in nursing education, research, and practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " This is the first research-based book to confront workplace issues facing nurses who have disabilities. It not only examines in depth their experiences, roadblocks to successful employment, and misperceptions surrounding them, but also provides viable solutions for creating positive attitudes towards them and a welcoming work environment that fosters hiring and retention. From the perspectives and actual voices of nurses with disabilities, nurse leaders, nurse administrators, and patients, the book identifies nurses with disabilities (including sensory, musculoskeletal, emotional, and mental health issues), discusses why they choose to leave nursing or hide their disabilities, and analyzes how their disabilities may influence career choices.

Download or read book Why Do They Leave written by Teresa Jo McClelland and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The flexibility and convenience of online distance learning is attractive to adult learners who are not able to attend traditional on-campus study due to work, family or other responsibilities. The rapid, and sustained, growth in online distance education has given it increasing importance to both the academic and financial status of higher education institutions; however, this importance has been overshadowed by low retention and completion rates. Given the importance of online distance education to higher education institutions, the need to understand the factors which influence student withdrawal has become vital for higher education. In New Zealand, where the viability and potential existence of higher education institutions is dependent upon meeting Government-set retention and completion outcomes, failure to gain this understanding and identify actions to improve student retention and completion may lead to loss of funding and academic accreditations. Therefore the need to adequately define, understand, and identify appropriate actions that an institution can implement to increase student persistence in online education is now urgent. This research investigates the influence of situational, dispositional, institutional, technological, and epistemological factors on student withdrawal from foundation level online programs of study in higher education. It reflects and extends from the work of Cross (1981), Garland (1993), Roberts (2004), and Carroll (2008). As an exploration of the influences of different factors upon students' decision to withdraw from online study, this research used a descriptive cross-sectional design, with a survey to collect data, in order to identify the extent to which each factor has had an influence on students' decision to withdraw from their online study. No significant demographic (age, gender, ethnicity) differences were found between the overall online, foundation study student population and the sample student population. Only 3 statements, made up of 1 institutional factor statement, 1 situational factor statement and 1 dispositional factor statement, were identified by 50% or more of the respondents as having an influence on their withdrawal from study. The results from this research highlighted the importance of student connectivity within the course of study and the influential relationship that situational and dispositional factors can jointly play in a student's decision to withdraw from online, foundation level study.

This book was released on 2015-12-29 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting the right diagnosis is a key aspect of health care - it provides an explanation of a patient's health problem and informs subsequent health care decisions. The diagnostic process is a complex, collaborative activity that involves clinical reasoning and information gathering to determine a patient's health problem. According to Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, diagnostic errors-inaccurate or delayed diagnoses-persist throughout all settings of care and continue to harm an unacceptable number of patients. It is likely that most people will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime, sometimes with devastating consequences. Diagnostic errors may cause harm to patients by preventing or delaying appropriate treatment, providing unnecessary or harmful treatment, or resulting in psychological or financial repercussions. The committee concluded that improving the diagnostic process is not only possible, but also represents a moral, professional, and public health imperative. Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, a continuation of the landmark Institute of Medicine reports To Err Is Human (2000) and Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001), finds that diagnosis-and, in particular, the occurrence of diagnostic errorsâ€"has been largely unappreciated in efforts to improve the quality and safety of health care. Without a dedicated focus on improving diagnosis, diagnostic errors will likely worsen as the delivery of health care and the diagnostic process continue to increase in complexity. Just as the diagnostic process is a collaborative activity, improving diagnosis will require collaboration and a widespread commitment to change among health care professionals, health care organizations, patients and their families, researchers, and policy makers. The recommendations of Improving Diagnosis in Health Care contribute to the growing momentum for change in this crucial area of health care quality and safety.
