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.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was the first attempt to evaluate the college's career/technical current advising practices. The purpose of this study was to investigate career/technical students' satisfaction with academic advising at a rural community college and to investigate whether there were any relationships between students' satisfaction and various demographic characteristics. The study also investigated students' impressions of the academic advisors and whether there were any relationships between students' impressions and various demographic characteristics. The researcher purchased the Survey of Academic Advising, Copyright 1997, from ACT, Inc. The Survey of Academic Advising was developed by the Evaluation Survey Service (ESS) and ACT and was used to measure students' satisfaction and impressions. Students were most satisfied with four items: scheduling, registration, academic progress, and drop/add procedures. Female participants were more satisfied than male students. Married and unmarried participants were more satisfied than separated participants. Participants who were part-time enrollees were more satisfied than those who were enrolled as full-time students. The participants in this study had high or very high impressions of their advisors. The participants considered their advisors to be easy to talk to, helpful, and effective. They also thought that the advisors had a good sense of humor. Female participants tended to rate their impressions of their academic advisors higher than the male participants, and 18 year old participants tended to rate their impressions of their academic advisors higher than those participants older than 18. Part-time students tended to rate their impressions of their academic advisors higher than full-time students. Finally, those participants who worked 1-10 hours per week tended to rate their impressions of their advisors higher than participants who worked more than 10 hours per week and those who were unemployed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although research shows the utilization of advising services can impact academic performance and provide students with a point of connection to postsecondary institutions, the effect of advising services in the experiences of traditional-aged college student attending community colleges has only recently been explored. This causal-comparative research study was designed to address the gap in literature concerning the use and effectiveness of academic advising services in community colleges. The study included a convenience sample of 99 community college students, between the ages of 18 and 24 years, from a small community college. Participants completed an online version of the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) and data were collected from March 2019 through November 2019. A Hotelling’s T2 test was conducted to determine if the utilization of academic advising services significantly impacted participant grade point averages (GPAs), number of semesters enrolled, and level of student engagement. The results of the Hotelling’s T2 test were statistically significant; therefore, post-hoc testing in the form of three independent samples t-tests was conducted. The study found that there was only a statistically significant difference in the GPAs of participants who utilized academic advising services when compared to those who did not. There were no statistically significant differences for number of semesters enrolled or level of student engagement between the two groups. Further research is recommended to determine if these results can be generalized to the overall population or if a longitudinal design may provide a clearer perspective of the effect of advising services over time.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given extensive research highlighting the benefits of need-supportive practices and need satisfaction, it seems likely that academic advisors who use practices found to be need-supportive in classroom, work, and other contexts, will foster students' perceived autonomy and competence toward the academic major decision-making process and facilitate longer-term goals of enhancing motivation and satisfaction with their academic coursework. A longitudinal study was conducted in order to examine the stability in perceptions of college students' academic major decision-making experience over time as a function of need-supportive advising. The study also examined the stability in satisfaction and motivation outcomes as a function of need-supportive advising over time. Participants included undecided students who completed an online survey at three time points during either the 2012-2013 or 2013-2014 academic year. The online survey included measures assessing perceptions of advisors' needs-supportive practices, students' autonomous and competent decision-making, satisfaction with and motivation for coursework, and subjective well-being, as well as demographic characteristics. Analyses on several models were performed using Mplus version 6.12. Results suggest need-supportive advising at the beginning of the academic year predicts improved academic satisfaction, academic efficacy, subjective well-being, and value toward coursework toward the end of the academic year particularly when advising sessions satisfy students need for competence throughout the year which, in turn, provides students with increased competence about choosing an academic major. Implications and future directions are discussed.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to gain information from seniors (90+ hours) enrolled at West Texas A&M University regarding perceived academic success and data related to their departmental academic advisor and advising experience. The study was used to determine if a correlation exists between when a student first meets with a departmental academic advisor upon entering college and their perceived college success or grade point average. Additional data was gathered to determine if students believe having a departmental academic advisor was beneficial to their perceived college success and determine how seniors at WTAMU define college success. The target population of this study was college seniors (90+ hours) enrolled at WTAMU during the Spring 2014 semester. The survey instrument was sent via e-mail to 2,303 possible participants. The instrument was designed to gather data regarding the students' academic advising experience and personal perceived college success. The results of this survey concluded there is a negative correlation between when a student first meets with a departmental academic advisor and their perceived college success and GPA. Additionally, results concluded students "strongly agree" having a departmental academic advisor was beneficial to their perceived college success. It was determined seniors at WTAMU emphasize developing professional skills, maintaining an acceptable GPA, and the ability to be hired upon graduation when considering their perceived college success. However, students indicated participation in organizations, clubs or extra-curricular activities were iv not important to their perceived success. The results from this study can be used to make recommendations regarding the advising models used at WTAMU and enhance students' experience at the university.

Download or read book Academic Advising Approaches written by Jayne K. Drake and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-08-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strong academic advising has been found to be a key contributor to student persistence (Center for Public Education, 2012), and many are expected to play an advising role, including academic, career, and faculty advisors; counselors; tutors; and student affairs staff. Yet there is little training on how to do so. Various advising strategies exist, each of which has its own proponents. To serve increasingly complex higher education institutions around the world and their diverse student cohorts, academic advisors must understand multiple advising approaches and adroitly adapt them to their own student populations. Academic Advising Approaches outlines a wide variety of proven advising practices and strategies that help students master the necessary skills to achieve their academic and career goals. This book embeds theoretical bases within practical explanations and examples advisors can use in answering fundamental questions such as: What will make me a more effective advisor? What can I do to enhance student success? What conversations do I need to initiate with my colleagues to improve my unit, campus, and profession? Linking theory with practice, Academic Advising Approaches provides an accessible reference useful to all who serve in an advising role. Based upon accepted theories within the social sciences and humanities, the approaches covered include those incorporating developmental, learning-centered, appreciative, proactive, strengths-based, Socratic, and hermeneutic advising as well as those featuring advising as teaching, motivational interviewing, self-authorship, and advising as coaching. All advocate relationship-building as a means to encourage students to take charge of their own academic, personal, and professional progress. This book serves as the practice-based companion to Academic Advising: A Comprehensive Handbook, also from NACADA. Whereas the handbook addresses the concepts advisors and advising administrators need to know in order to build a success advising program, Academic Advising Approaches explains the delivery strategies successful advisors can use to help students make the most of their college experience.

Download or read book Prescriptive Vs Developmental Academic Advising written by Carol A. Eckhardt and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic advising on American college and university campuses has evolved into a professional activity supported by a growing body of theory and research. Developmental psychology provided the foundation for an approach to advising that emphasizes an holistic view of the student by supplementing traditional advising functions with career and personal counseling, decision-making strategies, and a personal relationship between the student and advisor. The majority of advising literature assumes that developmental advising can meet the needs of most students in every postsecondary setting. The purpose of this study was to discover whether this is the case for community college students. Subjects in two Pacific Northwest community colleges were surveyed using an instrument derived from Winston and Sandor's (1984c) Academic Advising Inventory. The instrument discriminated between prescriptive and developmental advising and measured the degree of satisfaction expressed by students in a variety of demographic categories. The study found that most students who received advising indicated that it was essentially developmental in nature and that they were generally satisfied. No significant differences were found in the style of advising (prescriptive or developmental) or in the level of satisfaction expressed by students in a variety of demographic variables. Significant differences were found both in the style of advising and in satisfaction based on the format or settings in which the advising took place. The highest level of satisfaction was associated with an assigned advisor in an advising center. Students who were advised by peers experienced the most developmental service, but they were a very small proportion (N=5) of the overall sample, causing the results on this dimension to be inconclusive. These results suggest that for community college students, the format of advising may be as important as the developmental or prescriptive style of advising. The finding that 29% of the study subjects received no advising underscores the issue of access and perceived need for advising. Of this group, minorities and students who were enrolled for less than six credits were not being advised at higher rates than other student groups.
