This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the associations among community college student perceptions and short-term success in college. Guiding the study are two research questions: (1) what is the association between participation in dual enrollment and subsequent college success for CTE students formerly enrolled in dual credit secondary programs and those who were not, and (2) how do CTE students' perceptions of their college experiences differ between CTE students formerly enrolled in dual credit secondary programs and those who were not enrolled in those programs? Study participants were students who were formerly enrolled in dual credit programs at the secondary school and those who were not. Previous literature indicates that students who participate in career and technical education (CTE) programs offered in high school are more motivated and successful in college CTE programs than those who were not. Dual enrollment isn't only for high-achieving students; it also can benefit first-generation students, minority students, and low-income students. This study examined associations among variables in the intervention and comparison groups. Data were gathered from an online survey and the Student Information System (SIS) at College of the Desert to examine students' experiences, perspectives, and motivation in college. These data were then analyzed using chi-square and t-test analyses. The intervention group had higher course completion rates than the comparison group, the only statistically significant difference among all associations that were tested. The intervention group had higher rates of intention to transfer to a four-year college than the comparison group but these differences were only marginally significant. Differences in low-income status and first-generation status were observed between the intervention and comparison groups but these differences also were only marginally significant.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dual credit programs allow high school students to enroll in postsecondary institutions while still in high school, earning concurrent high school and college credit. Because dual credit programs can serve a variety of purposes (financial, educational, and systemic), they have gained prominence in education reform iniatives. My study evaluated one school-based dual credit program partnered through a Midwestern community college. Two research questions guided the study: 1) Are high school students who earn early college credit more likely than traditionally-enrolled students to complete college degrees? 2) Does this form of dual credit program yield accelerated educational progress for students? I used a longitudinal time design (1993-2001) to follow the college careers of 568 students from the time they initially enrolled in school-based dual credit programs to their completion of college programs at the community college. I compared their achievement to that of 1,007 students who entered the college as traditionally-enrolled students. Using Ordinary Least Squares and Logistic Regression analyses of institutional data, I found 1) no difference in the likelihood of completion between dual credit and regular students; 2) the "jump start" function of dual credits programs varies by award type, accelerating completion for diploma students but having no significant effect for degree-seekers. Variables besides dual credit enrollment that contributed to completion and acceleration included educational goals, major area of study, and accumulative credit requirements. Variables having no significant net effects include socioeconomic status and academic preparation.

Download or read book The Dual Credit Phenomenon written by Hans A. Andrews and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many critics of the secondary school system in America are suggesting the last two years of high school are a waste of time for many students. In addition, leaders in almost every state's educational system along with state legislators are looking for ways to shorten the time it takes to earn a baccalaureate degree. It is common for students to graduate in four-and-one-half to five-and-one-half years rather than the four intended for the degree. Community colleges and a few universities have undertaken reform through the creative program of dual-credit. This program allows those bright students to take college level classes that secondary schools now count toward high school diploma completion. In short, the student gets credit both ways. Other students enroll in technical and vocational programs with the community colleges and seek out potential new job skills or a career choice.

This book was released on 2017-08-25 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educating dual language learners (DLLs) and English learners (ELs) effectively is a national challenge with consequences both for individuals and for American society. Despite their linguistic, cognitive, and social potential, many ELsâ€"who account for more than 9 percent of enrollment in grades K-12 in U.S. schoolsâ€"are struggling to meet the requirements for academic success, and their prospects for success in postsecondary education and in the workforce are jeopardized as a result. Promoting the Educational Success of Children and Youth Learning English: Promising Futures examines how evidence based on research relevant to the development of DLLs/ELs from birth to age 21 can inform education and health policies and related practices that can result in better educational outcomes. This report makes recommendations for policy, practice, and research and data collection focused on addressing the challenges in caring for and educating DLLs/ELs from birth to grade 12.
Download or read book Comparing Perceived College Persistence Between Students Taking Online Or Residential Dual Enrollment in High School written by Dustin Joseph Miller and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dual enrollment and online education are two factors of education that have become prevalent over the past decade. This rapid growth has resulted in higher attendance rates, but also higher dropout rates. It is the students' persistence to graduation that demands the attention of all stakeholders. There is an abundance of research showing the value of dual enrollment leading to student success at the collegiate level, but the purpose of this study is to differentiate between online and residential dual enrollment. This study used a causal comparative design to compare the two group means of first-year residential college students taking online dual enrollment courses or residential dual enrollment courses in high school. The research took place at a faith-based university. A survey was sent out to over 4,000 first-year residential students, creating a sample size of 222 students after removing unqualified participants. A t-test was used to determine that there was no significant difference in favorability scores between students taking online dual enrollment and residential dual enrollment. Prior research shows that the location of learning does not drastically affect the outcome, which is also the result of this study. It is apparent that the differences between online and face-to-face interaction continue to decrease with the advancement of technology. For future research, it is recommended to follow students through to graduation, as this study only looks at the favorability scores from an instrument predicting the likelihood to persist.

Book excerpt: "Our calling is to drop our egos, commit to removing barriers, and treat our learners with the unequivocal respect and dignity they deserve." --Mirko Chardin and Katie Novak When it comes to the hard work of reconstructing our schools into places where every student has the opportunity to succeed, Mirko Chardin and Katie Novak are absolutely convinced that teachers should serve as our primary architects. And by "teachers" they mean legions of teachers working in close collaboration. After all, it’s teachers who design students’ learning experiences, who build student relationships . . . who ultimately have the power to change the trajectory of our students’ lives. Equity by Design is intended to serve as a blueprint for teachers to alter the all-too-predictable outcomes for our historically under-served students. A first of its kind resource, the book makes the critical link between social justice and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) so that we can equip students (and teachers, too) with the will, skill, and collective capacity to enact positive change. Inside you’ll find: Concrete strategies for designing and delivering a culturally responsive, sustainable, and equitable framework for all students Rich examples, case studies, and implementation spotlights of educators, students (including Parkland survivors), and programs that have embraced a social justice imperative Evidence-based application of best practices for UDL to create more inclusive and equitable classrooms A flexible format to facilitate use with individual teachers, teacher teams, and as the basis for whole-school implementation "Every student," Mirko and Katie insist, "deserves the opportunity to be successful regardless of their zip code, the color of their skin, the language they speak, their sexual and/or gender identity, and whether or not they have a disability." Consider Equity by Design a critical first step forward in providing that all-important opportunity.

Book excerpt: This research compared the academic achievement of Tech Prep students to similar non-Tech Prep students attending Idaho State University's College of Technology. Methodology replicated and expanded on a Sinclair Community College study that compared college placement test scores, college GPA, and success rates in first-year college mathematics and English courses for Tech Prep and non-Tech Prep students. Results found that college students who had been involved in high school career and technical education programs with established Tech Prep agreements were better prepared to succeed in college. They earned a higher first-year mean GPA, they recorded higher COMPASS mathematics scores, and a significantly higher percentage of Tech Prep students qualified to begin college in non-remedial, for-credit English and math classes.
