This book was released on 2012-05-14 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American postsecondary institutions are faced with a growing financial crisis that threatens the quality, availability, and economics of the higher education system. Within this climate of economic uncertainty and decline, higher education is under pressure to restructure and reform its processes and contributions to society and to provide evidence of return on investment while using as few institutional resources as possible. In an effort to address these challenges, college and university administrators attempt to guide their institutions by becoming more focused on data-based decision making. This book provides an overview of Rapid Insight(R)'s Veera and how it can be used to address many difficulties confronting postsecondary institutions attempting to engage in meaningful data-based decision making. It is not intended to be an in-depth reference manual for the product, but, rather, to motivate novices to use Veera and to expose experienced users to real-world examples and tips.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cut through the noise and make better college and career choices This book is about addressing the college-choosing problem. The rankings, metrics, analytics, college visits, and advice that we use today to help us make these decisions are out of step with the progress individual students are trying to make. They don't give students and families the information and context they need to make such a high-stakes decision about whether and where to get an education. Choosing College strips away the noise to help you understand why you’re going to school. What's driving you? What are you trying to accomplish? Once you know why, the book will help you make better choices. The research in this book illustrates that choosing a school is complicated. By constructing more than 200 mini-documentaries of how students chose different postsecondary educational experiences, the authors explore the motivations for how and why people make the decisions that they do at a much deeper, causal level. By the end, you’ll know why you’re going and what you’re really chasing. The book: Identifies the five different Jobs for which students hire postsecondary education Allows you to see your true options for what’s next Offers guidance for how to successfully choose your pathway Illuminates how colleges and entrepreneurs can build better experiences for each Job The authors help readers understand not what job students want out of college, but what "Job" students are hiring college to do for them.

Download or read book An Analysis of Selected Decision Making Variables and the Effects They Have on the Post secondary Education Plans of 16 21 Year Old Youth from the United States written by Marsha Jane McCord Takao and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this study was to determine the importance of postsecondary education in the future plans of 16-21 year old youth from the United States. A secondary purpose of the study was to determine if selected individuals in their lives influence the post-secondary education decisions made by 16-21 year old youth in the United States. In addition, selected outcome options were analyzed to determine the effect these options have on post-secondary education decisions made by 16-21 year old youth from the United States. The sample for the study consisted of 3,017 males and females between the ages of 16-21, collected by means of a telephone survey. The dependent variable for this study was the higher education plans of 16-21 year old youth; and the independent variables were age, gender, ethnicity, usual grades made in high school, strength of influence of selected outcome options, and influencers of the decisions made by the respondents. The study found that 16-21 year old youth in the United States have a strong desire to attend post-secondary education full-time rather than part-time. A majority of the respondents indicated that they prefer attending a 4-year college or university with the second choice being a 2-year junior or community college. The respondents indicated that they are influenced strongly by their parents, siblings, and close friends to make decisions; but there does not appear to be a strong influence by this group on the respondents to make decisions about post-secondary education. The outcome options that appear to have the most influence on this age group are: having a job that makes you happy, having a good paying job, earning money for college, having an attractive lifestyle, preparing for a career, having job security, making a positive difference in the community and learning a valuable trade or skill. These factors, however, don't appear to have a strong influence on this group when making a decision to attend post-secondary education.

Download or read book Leveraging Data for Student Success written by Laura G. Knapp and published by RTI Press. This book was released on 2016-09-29 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People providing services to schools, teachers, and students want to know whether these services are effective. With that knowledge, a project director can expand services that work well and adjust implementation of activities that are not working as expected. When finding that an innovative strategy benefits students, a project director might want to share that information with other service providers who could build upon that strategy. Some organizations that fund programs for students will want a report demonstrating the program’s success. Determining whether a program is effective requires expertise in data collection, study design, and analysis. Not all project directors have this expertise—they tend to be primarily focused on working with schools, teachers, and students to undertake program activities. Collecting and obtaining student-level data may not be a routine part of the program. This book provides an overview of the process for evaluating a program. It is not a detailed methodological text but focuses on awareness of the process. What do program directors need to know about data and data analysis to plan an evaluation or to communicate with an evaluator? Examples focus on supporting college and career readiness programs. Readers can apply these processes to other studies that include a data collection component.
Download or read book Decision Making for Student Success written by Benjamin L. Castleman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, many students with affordable college options and the academic skills needed to succeed do not enroll at all, enroll at institutions where they are not well-positioned for success, or drop out of college before earning a credential. Efforts to address these challenges have included changes in financial aid policy, increased availability of information, and enhanced academic support. This volume argues that the efficacy of these strategies can be improved by taking account of contemporary research on how students make choices. In Decision Making for Student Success, scholars from the fields of behavioral economics, education, and public policy explore contemporary research on decision-making and highlight behavioral insights that can improve postsecondary access and success. This exciting volume will provide scholars, researchers, and higher education administrators with valuable perspectives and low-cost strategies that they can employ to improve outcomes for underserved populations.
Download or read book Going to College written by Don Hossler and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 1998-11-25 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Going to College tells the powerful story of how high school students make choices about postsecondary education. Drawing on their unprecedented nine-year study of high school students, the authors explore how students and their parents negotiate these important decisions. Family background, finances, education, information -- all influence students' plans after high school and the career paths they pursue, as do the more subtle messages delivered by parents and counselors which shape adolescents' self-expectations. For high school guidance counselors, college admissions counselors, parents and teachers, and public policy makers, this book is a valuable resource that explains the decision-making process and helps adults to help students make appropriate choices. The authors identify predisposition, search, and choice as the three stages in the student decision-making process. Predisposition refers to the plans students develop for education or work after they graduate from high school. The search stage involves students discovering and evaluating a variety of colleges and universities. In the choice stage, students choose a school to attend from among a list of institutions that are being seriously considered. Understanding exactly how students move through the predisposition, search, and choice stages of the college decision-making process can help students and parents prepare themselves for this process and consider a wider array of options. For education professionals, understanding this process can lead to new initiatives to guide students and families effectively -- by providing better incentives for college savings, for example, or devising more effective early information programs about postsecondary education. Going to Collegeis the first book to seriously study over an extended period the decisions that have a pervasive and lasting impact on individual careers, livelihoods, and lifestyles. The authors conclude with important recommendations for improving academic support, exploring various financial options, providing early encouragement -- in other words, for recognizing the factors that influence students' decisions, and knowing when to pay attention to them.
Download or read book Deciding on Postsecondary Education written by Keith MacAllum and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study looks at when individuals consider postsecondary education, how they approach their decision, the different paths they decide to follow, the roles other individuals play in the process, and what information students seek and consider in their decisionmaking. This report focuses on the types and sources of information used during the transition from high school to postsecondary education, as well as the entry or reentry processes of adult students. This report consolidates and highlights what is known from the literature about the search for information about postsecondary education institutions and the patterns of information access and use among students with different demographic and socioeconomic backgrounds and supplements this information with findings from focus group research. The research findings are organized into three sections, with each focusing on one of the three themes that emerged from the critical review of the literature and parallel investigations drawing on focus groups with 90 high school and college students, parents, and guidance counselors. The report concludes with a summary section. The three substantive themes are as follows: (1) The Stages of College Planning and Choice; (2) The Influential Role of Others; and (3) Types of Information Sought, Sources Used, and the Application of Information. The following are appended: (1) How College Cost and Financial Aid Influence the College Decision Process; (2) Summary Characteristics of Focus Group Participants; (3) Focus Group Protocols; (4) Focus Group Methodology; and (5) Selective List and Brief Descriptions of College Search/Information Websites, Revised October 25, 2007.
