Download or read book High touch and High tech Community College Advisors Perceptions of Integrating Technology Into Quality Academic Advising written by Meredith Lea Coughlin and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore advisors' perceptions of integrating technology into quality academic advising. Interviews conducted with six community college advisors from across the United States focused on (a) how advisors define and operationalize quality academic advising and (b) how they use technology for quality academic advising. Initial data analyses followed Moustakas' (1994) methods for transcendental phenomenological analysis followed by open coding processes as described by Creswell (1998). Findings were presented in two ways. First, the advisor profiles provided in-depth descriptions of each advisor's experiences including her organizational context, primary responsibilities, beliefs about advising, and technology use in advising. Then the overarching themes within experiences across advisors were provided. This study found that the high-touch profession of academic advising is being impacted by advisors' and students' reliance on technology resulting in a new component critical to providing quality academic advising: fostering student independence through empowering practices. A discussion of the findings as related to previous research literature, implications for advisors and administrators, and recommendations for future research are included.

Download or read book Community College Faculty Perceptions and Behaviors Related to Academic Advising written by Karl A. DeBate and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The primary propose of this study was to identify community college faculty's perceptions regarding the effectiveness of the self-contained campus academic advising center, the importance of the eight established NACADA advising goals, and the role of faculty in the advising process. In addition, the current advising behaviors of faculty at a community college with a self-contained advising system were examined. The study also investigated if perceptions and behaviors regarding advising vary among full-time and part-time faculty. The results of this study provide an overview of community college faculty perceptions and behaviors with regard to academic advising and the established NACADA advising goals. Specifically, over 75% faculty participants indicated that all eight of the NACADA advising goals were "important" or "very important". In addition, over 70% of faculty participants indicated that all eight of the NACADA goals for effective advising should be part of the faculty role. Even though the institution examined in this study employs a self-contained advising structure, over 96% of faculty participants indicated that they had personally advised one or more students in the past year. While full-time and part-time faculty were generally in agreement, data did reveal several significant differences in perceptions. The findings also show a significant positive relationship between faculty perception of their role in the advising process and the number of students they personally advise on all eight of the NACADA goals for effective advising.

Download or read book Technology Mediated Advising and Student Support written by Columbia University. Community College Research Center and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rubric aims to help community colleges and broad-access four-year colleges assess their work on technology-mediated advising and student support, sometimes referred to as Integrated Planning and Advising for Student Success (iPASS). This work involves moving from a model of advising focused on information provision or course registration to one in which advising is sustained, strategic, integrated, proactive, and personalized (SSIPP)--in which students have a dedicated advisor who can connect them to a coherent, institution-wide network of services. It also outlines the core components of technology-mediated advising and student support identified by CCRC's research, which are divided into two levels. This is a companion piece to CCRC's "Implementing Holistic Student Support: A Practitioner's Guide to Key Structures and Processes." While the practitioner's guide focuses on the specifics of designing and delivering advising and student support services, this rubric offers guidance on broader institutional structures and processes that support a holistic advising model. In addition, while the practitioner's guide is designed to help institutions identify which pieces of holistic student support are already in place and to make plans for implementing those that are not, the rubric is designed to allow institutions to assess how well they are doing in providing holistic student support. Together, these tools offer a comprehensive blueprint for redesigning advising and student support.

Download or read book Guided Pathways Advising Redesign written by Michael Vincent Buccilli and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2020, the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities (CSCU) adopted the Holistic Case Management Advising (HCMA) policy to redesign academic advising and student support services at the twelve public community colleges in Connecticut. The HCMA policy and resultant Guided Pathways (GP) advising program were designed to improve student persistence, retention, and completion rates as well as close attainment gaps among Black and Latinx students and their White peers (CSCU, 2020). The GP advising program tripled the advising workforce, reshaped the organizational structure, and changed pedagogy and practice. Change of this magnitude brings a host of challenges and opportunities. Theories of organizational change provide a lens for leaders to better understand the change process. The concept of readiness for change seeks to understand how individuals and groups within the organization are prepared for and affected by the change. A qualitative single case study design was utilized to explore the experiences of advising staff members during the implementation of the GP advising program. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seventeen advisors and advising managers. Document analysis provided additional data about the planning and implementation process. Five primary themes emerged from the analysis; change was needed, belief in the model, response to change, volume and pace of change, and organizational and professional learning. Findings have shown that advisors believed the change was needed, felt supported in the change process, and viewed the new model as a viable solution. The change process uncovered a host of challenges for staff as they navigated the volume and pace of change, new technology, relationships with their colleagues, and the impending community college merger.
Download or read book Academic Advising in the Community College written by Terry U. O'Banion and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic advising is the second most important function in the community college. If it is not conducted with the utmost efficiency and effectiveness, the most important function in the college—instruction—will fail to achieve its purpose of ensuring that students succeed in navigating the curriculum to completion. The purpose of academic advising is to help students select a program of study to meet their life and vocational goals. As such, academic advising is a central and important activity in the process of education. Academic advising occurs at least once each term for every student in the college; few student support functions occur as often or affect so many students. But while there is general agreement concerning the importance of academic advising for the efficient functioning of the institution and the effective functioning of the student, there is little agreement regarding the nature of academic advising and who should perform the function. In this seminal work on academic advising, the authors of three overarching chapters address the key issues and challenges of academic advising followed by the authors of four of the most innovative and successful programs of academic advising in the nation.
