This book was released on 2003 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzed the academic performance of successful community college transfer students by academic discipline courses. Grade distributions were compared between Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) and Iowa State University (ISU) by matched disciplines. A T-test for equality of means and Chi-square analysis was used to determine significant differences in the grade distributions. The participants included 837 transfer students that graduated with a bachelor's degree from ISU between 1998 and 2002. Descriptive analysis of student demographics identified overall patterns and unique features of successful transfer students. Analysis of grade distributions of specific disciplines and community college general education courses identified significant differences. The results of the study indicated a majority of transfer students were female, white, traditional age, with lower than State of Iowa average ACT scores. Almost half (48.2%) of the students transferred 60-65 credits and 66% complete the bachelor's degree in 5 years. Overall GPA was significantly different between DMACC (2.96) and ISU (2.84). Significant differences were found in 20 of 31 matched discipline groups. DMACC general education grade distributions and ISU grade distributions were also significantly different. The results suggest that further research is necessary to analyze specific student characteristics and the related transfer success. Student support services and academic performance of community college courses will need further research. The significant differences in grade distributions suggest that faculty and administration of both institutions need to review course competencies, grading criterion and assessment techniques. Further research is warranted to better understanding specific community college academic performance and related university major fields of study. Community college courses specifically designed for transfer students may need to be developed in the general education curriculum to better prepare transfer students for university course expectations. In addition, a comprehensive assessment program of general education skills and abilities may need to be implemented to more fully understand the academic expectations of transfer students.
Download or read book A Comparison of Academic Performance Between Community College Transfer Students and Non transfer Students at a Four year University in Ecuador written by Aldo Alfredo Maino and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2000, the number of students transferring from United States community colleges to four-year institutions has steadily increased. As a result, growing attention has been paid to community college students' academic performance following their transfer. Research conducted in the United States has reported mixed results regarding transfer students' academic performance in four-year institutions. Similar to the United States, many college students in Ecuador transfer to different types of postsecondary institutions. However, no research has been published on this experience in Ecuador that can inform educators and support transfer students' academic performance after transferring. To fill this gap, this study investigated the characteristics and academic success of community college students who transferred to a four-year institution in Ecuador. In particular, this study used secondary data to compare characteristics and academic performance (i.e., GPA) between transfer and non-transfer students attending a small private four-year university in Ecuador between Fall 2008 and Fall 2013. Results from mixed-effects models showed that transfer students had a higher average GPA after one semester (intercept) than non-transfer students; however, no difference in the average change in GPA over the years (slope) was found between transfer and non-transfer students. Further analysis examining gender differences in the average GPA after the first semester (intercept) showed that transfer females performed significantly better than males. It was also found that the area or program of study was a significant predictor explaining some of the variation in the average GPA after the first semester (intercept). For example, students in engineering programs had the lowest average GPA across the years. This suggests that extra attention and academic assistance might be necessary for these students entering to engineering program of study. In addition, significant differences in the average GPA after the first semester (intercept) were found depending on the quality of the community college that students transferred from. This result suggests that universities should design their marketing strategies and admission resources that recruit students from category A and B institutes of technology and universities, which can be further facilitated by subscribing articulation agreements with these institutions to allow prospect transfer students to transfer a great majority of their credit hours. The current study shows, that transfer students are capable of being academically successful at four-year institutions. It further suggests that recruitment efforts aimed at community college transfer students should target students based on their transferring GPA and the quality of the transferring institution; while for non-transfer students on the basis of high school GPA. It is hoped that this study would help Ecuadorian authorities and institutional officers at all levels more effectively facilitate student mobility between the country's institutes of technology and its universities, and encourage more in-depth research on transfer students so that their academic potential becomes a reality.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines whether there are statistically significant differences in the academic success of nontransfer and transfer students from a two-year institution to the urban historically Black university. The study takes into account the influence of such factors as age, gender and race on academic success. Students were randomly selected from data compiled by the University's Office of Planning and Institutional Research, using purposeful sampling selected from students who were enrolled at the senior institution between fall semester 2000 and fall semester 2003. Of the total number of students, 90 were nontransfer students and 54 were transfer students. A two-year pertinent aspect of the study was grade point average of both groups of students. The hypothesis of this study is that there is no significant difference in success between nontransfer college students enrolled at Morgan State University and student transfers from community colleges enrolled at Morgan State University after one year of study. The null hypotheses were tested at alpha .05 level of significance. These null hypotheses would either reject or fail to reject the contention that there is a difference in the academic performance when comparing the third year grade point average performance of the nontransfer college students and the community college transfer students. The ex post facto research design utilized the t-test to compare the transfers and nontransfers with the grade point average; testing the null hypotheses, i.e. the statistical significance of the mean GPA, for transfer students. Cross-tabulation and Chi Square statistical tests were used to test the hypotheses for age and gender of the transfer and nontransfer groups. -- Abstract.

Book excerpt: Gain fresh perspectives and approaches to the topic of students transferring among institutions of higher education. Despite the copious research on transfer patterns and students who transfer, this line of research is thronged with conceptual, methodological, and data challenges that warrant continued and more nuanced attention. This volume answers this call and provides updated scholarship and examines emerging issues pertaining to transfer. Organized around two broad, interconnected ways to conceptualize transfer, it first examines students who transfer and then discusses transfer as a complex postsecondary pathway. Engaging empirical research, perspectives, and case analysis from higher education scholars and institutional researchers, this volume offers renewed conceptual and methodological insights that inform future research on transfer, along with concrete recommendations for institutional researchers. This is the 170th volume of this Jossey-Bass quarterly report series. Timely and comprehensive, New Directions for Institutional Research provides planners and administrators in all types of academic institutions with guidelines in such areas as resource coordination, information analysis, program evaluation, and institutional management.

This book was released on 2024-04-26 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is evidence that the global COVID-19 crisis is exacerbating existing inequalities and marginalization of vulnerable groups, including exceptional learners, stateless, street, migrant, and refugee children and youths, and the limited use of frameworks of emergency planning with and for marginalized and at-risk individuals. These challenges are multi-sectoral and intersecting, and they require multi- and interdisciplinary interventions to inform inclusive responses. These issues include being at a greater risk of excluding vulnerable learners from gaining access to equitable education (online/remote and blended education). Intersecting forms of discrimination such as gender, socioeconomic and legal status further exacerbate the problem. This has alerted us to examine the living conditions of marginalized and vulnerable populations around the globe, and to reveal their experiences, problems, and needs from an educational perspective, thus bringing insights into their vulnerabilities during the pandemic.
Download or read book A Comparison of the Academic Success of Transfer Students and Native Students at a Private Urban Institution written by Angela M. Tripp and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to compare the academic success of transfer students and native students enrolled in a private urban university. The relationship between community college students and their performance at four year institutions has been researched by numerous researchers (Carlan & Byxbe, 2000; Cejda, 1994; Cohen, 1998; Hill, 1965; Graham & Hughes, 1994; Montondon & Elkner, 1997). Banks (1990) has written that the founders of junior colleges believed the success of their transfer mission could be gauged by the success of their students at the four-year institution. Current research was highly focused on transfer students as they moved from community colleges to public four-year institutions. Inadequate research was available to assist independent colleges and universities in working with transfer students. Sixteen hundred independent colleges and universities have enrolled more than 3.1 million students, a critical number of students needing focused and specialized research on transfer (National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, 2005). This causal comparative study examined a cohort of students who transferred into a private four-year institution. The study was comprised of native and transfer students who entered a private urban university, Fall, 1999, and examined their academic success outcomes six years later (May, 2005). The purpose of this study was to understand and describe the extent to which native and transfer students differ in their academic success in a private urban university. The study found no statistically significant differences in the academic success (grade point average, retention rate, graduation rate) of transfer and native students based on transfer status, classification, age, gender or transfer institution type. No statistically significant differences were found in the grade point averages and retention rates of transfer and native students based on enrollment status. However, full-time transfer and native students had a statistically higher graduation rate than part-time students. Implications for future practice and recommendations for further research are provided by the study. -- Abstract.
