Download or read book The Impacts of Intrusive Advising on the Persistence of First year Science Technology and Mathematics Students Identified Using a Risk Prediction Instrument written by Matthew Allen Campbell and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in a large, urban, public university, this study explores the use of an institutionally specific risk instrument developed to identify students who had a high risk of attrition and the effectiveness of subsequent interventions deployed through advising. Though implemented throughout the institution, this study identified control and treatment groups in the University's College of Science and Technology in order to examine the impact of the risk instrument and advising interventions on first-year retention. The data were analyzed to determine the accuracy of the risk instrument in predicting risk of attrition for students, to identify alternative "tailored" models for assessing risk, and to examine an advising model employed to actively respond to the identified risk. Results are reported to inform institutions about the accuracy of the prediction instrument and the specifics of advising interventions. Special consideration is given to the social justice mission of the institution and the ethical considerations of how to respond to risk assessments.

Download or read book An Examination of the Effects of Intrusive Advising and Support Services on Academically At Risk Students written by Earl Jones and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research study compared the effects of the intrusive form of developmental academic advising (IDAA) and the influence of additional academic support services on the mean cumulative Grade Point Averages (GPAs) of 4 randomly assembled groups of academically at-risk college students during 2 separate semesters. Academically at-risk students are defined as those students whose cumulative GPAs are below academic good standing at a university. The mean cumulative GPA of each student group was averaged prior to the beginning and at the end of the Spring 2012 and Fall 2012 semesters, respectively. All of these students were enrolled in a private university in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The results of this study imply that using IDAA with a comprehensive offering of additional academic support services could provide greater academic improvement assistance to academically at-risk students than a less intrusive process.

Download or read book A Case Study of an Intrusive Advising Approach for At risk Under prepared and Traditionally Underrepresented College Students written by Michael Levinstein and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An increasing number of students, who in past generations would successfully pursued careers without a college degree, are enrolling in college and, later, dropping-out at rates nearing 50% before their second year. The failure of college students to complete degrees harms their self-esteem, saddles them with student loan debt, and prevents the development of the 21st century workforce envisioned by state and national leaders. Academic advising is one of the most effective institutional tools supporting student persistence and degree completion according to leading researchers in the field. The majority of literature surrounding academic advising suggests that many institutions employ a transactional advising approach that, while cheap and efficient, is completely ineffective in supporting at-risk students. A more effective approach is an intrusive advising strategy in which the advisor proactively supports and educates thereby facilitating the transformation of high school graduates into persisting and successful college students. While this approach is both time consuming and expensive, it yields retention results worth investigating. Using a qualitative case study methodology, this research examined an intrusive academic advising approach at a large, public, four-year research institution struggling with the retention of an at-risk population comprising first-generational and under-prepared students. Ten student participants who underwent the advising approach shared their perceptions of the role the intrusive-developmentalapproach played in their academic success and choice to remain enrolled into their second year. Results indicate that proactive, intrusive advising paired with a close advisor-student working relationship provided at-risk students with the encouragement and support necessary for their persistence and success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharpen advising expertise by exploring critical issues affecting the field Beyond Foundations, a core resource for experienced academic advisors, gives practitioners insight into important issues affecting academic advising. In addition to gaining understanding of foundational concepts and pressing concerns, master advisors engage with case studies to clarify their roles as educators of students, as thought leaders in institutions, and as advocates for the profession. Pillar documents—the NACADA Core Values, NACADA Concept of Academic Advising, and CAS Standards—serve as sources of both information and inspiration for those seeking to improve advising. New strategies inform advisors helping a diverse student population delineate meaningful educational goals. Each chapter prompts productive discussions with fellow advisors interested in cultivating advising excellence. To promote advisor influence in higher education, experienced contributors explain new trends—including the impact of external forces and legal issues on postsecondary institutions—and the evolution of advising as a profession and a field of inquiry. Expert insight and practical focus contribute to the development of experienced advisors. Use existing resources in new ways to master advising roles and encourage student success Apply theory to advance advising practice Create and optimize professional development opportunities Establish recognition for the contributions of academic advisors to the institution and higher education Face challenges created by the changing higher education landscape Advisors must meet the expectations of students, parents, faculty members, administrators, and outside agencies, all while navigating an increasingly complex range of issues presented by a student population unlike any that has come before. Beyond Foundations provides the insight and clarity advisors need to help students achieve their educational goals and to advance the field.

Book excerpt: This research project used a qualitative case study design to determine the usefulness of an intrusive advisement (IA) model at a small, public, community college in southern New Jersey. The 30 participants in this research study were Academic Advisors (n = 12), who practiced IA for at least one year and students (n = 18), that were in an IA support cohort (Athletics-ATH, Educational Opportunity Program-EOF, HSI STEM – HSI, Las Vias-LV, TRIO/Student Support Services-SSS, and Workforce-WF). The participants were interviewed individually about their experience with IA and asked about various factors that could potentially be associated with IA (i.e. retention, multiple touchpoints, navigation, coping skills, leadership, career development, Starfish [early alert system], and retention). The interviews yielded 15 emergent themes from the data overall (relationship, care, career, navigation, coping/stress relief, trust, leadership, Starfish, support/guidance, goal, retention, success/education plan, communication, helpful, and staying on track). Of these themes, relationship and Starfish were the top emergent themes (stated most frequently in the data) for advisors and students. Comparatively, advisors and students were close on the following themes: support/guidance, coping/stress relief, helpful, staying on track, and communication (5% or under differential). Lastly, other themes that emerged when IA was implemented and are supportive themes comparatively are navigation, leadership, care, career, success/education plan, goal and retention. Implications for practice are centered around the top five comparable themes as stated above. Recommendations are based on these implications and center around advisor/student ratio, having a consistent advisor from inception to graduation, a comprehensive early alert/intervention system, and professional development for advisors.
