Book excerpt: Abstract: Determining the status of business education in the state of Ohio is necessitated by non-quantifiable research statements that claim there has been a decline in business education enrollment on a national level. In addition, the valuable nature of business education is argued by many scholars and written about in numerous scholarly articles, yet business education finds itself on the sidelines of secondary (high school) curriculum. As no quantifiable research exists, this research study was designed to describe enrollment trends in business education in the state of Ohio for the school year ending 2006 through the school year ending 2012. Using publicly available data from the State of Ohio Department of Education gained through the Education Management Information System (EMIS), enrollment data was collected for all public schools in the state of Ohio for the school years described. Enrollment numbers were broken down by course codes (a total of 15), as prescribed by EMIS. Enrollment numbers were further broken down by race, gender and secondary grade level. Using JobsOhio's geographic division of the state of Ohio based on Ohio's diverse job markets, additional statistical evaluation about enrollment trends was conducted to draw conclusions about enrollment on a statewide basis. Using statistical analysis, determinations about statistically significant trends in enrollment (or lack of the same) were reached. For the seven (7) year period evaluated, very few statistically significant trends in enrollment were found. Courses with increasing or decreasing enrollment were identified, but in most cases, with slight or no statistical significance. Because of this lack of significance, further longitudinal studies related to trends in enrollment are recommended. Overall enrollment in business education courses is low compared to that of elective counterparts, namely noted by the increasing enrollment in Advanced Placement courses. Advocacy for business education is something that each and every business teacher training program must implement as part of their curriculum. Business educators must be more than classroom educators; they must be marketing personnel for their curriculum. Finally, maintaining business education curriculum that demonstrates rigor and relevance for all students is critical to the improvement of enrollment numbers in business education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of soaring tuition costs, more and more students go to college every year. A bachelor’s degree is now required for entry into a growing number of professions. And some parents begin planning for the expense of sending their kids to college when they’re born. Almost everyone strives to go, but almost no one asks the fundamental question posed by Academically Adrift: are undergraduates really learning anything once they get there? For a large proportion of students, Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa’s answer to that question is a definitive no. Their extensive research draws on survey responses, transcript data, and, for the first time, the state-of-the-art Collegiate Learning Assessment, a standardized test administered to students in their first semester and then again at the end of their second year. According to their analysis of more than 2,300 undergraduates at twenty-four institutions, 45 percent of these students demonstrate no significant improvement in a range of skills—including critical thinking, complex reasoning, and writing—during their first two years of college. As troubling as their findings are, Arum and Roksa argue that for many faculty and administrators they will come as no surprise—instead, they are the expected result of a student body distracted by socializing or working and an institutional culture that puts undergraduate learning close to the bottom of the priority list. Academically Adrift holds sobering lessons for students, faculty, administrators, policy makers, and parents—all of whom are implicated in promoting or at least ignoring contemporary campus culture. Higher education faces crises on a number of fronts, but Arum and Roksa’s report that colleges are failing at their most basic mission will demand the attention of us all.
