Book Synopsis A Phenomenological Study of Doctoral Student Attrition in Counselor Education by : John Breckner
Download or read book A Phenomenological Study of Doctoral Student Attrition in Counselor Education written by John Breckner and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately half of doctoral students will withdraw from study before completing their doctorates (Bair & Haworth, 1999). The author sought to add to the limited literature pertaining to doctoral student attrition specifically in the field of counselor education. Phenomenology grounded the work of obtaining (a) enrollment experiences of students who withdrew from counselor education doctoral programs, and (b) thoughts/emotions associated with withdrawing from study. Findings included an application of doctoral attrition to Tinto's (1975) Interactionalist model, how doctoral attrition continues to be an invisible problem, and recommendations for both doctoral students struggling to persevere and counselor education programs striving to increase retention rates.
Book Synopsis Returning Counselor Education Doctoral Students by : David U. Burkholder
Download or read book Returning Counselor Education Doctoral Students written by David U. Burkholder and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to illuminate the experiences of counselor education doctoral students who had voluntarily departed from study and successfully returned. The main research question was: What are the experiences of doctoral students who have voluntarily departed from programs in counselor education and then successfully returned to the same programs? Six female participants completed a series of semi-structured interviews. The interviews were transcribed and then analyzed utilizing Creswell's (2007) 4-step approach for phenomenological research. Themes derived from the data analysis suggest there is a common essential experience to departing from and returning to study, including four major categories: (a) departing and returning are salient personal events, (b) faculty responses are noticed and important, (c) departure is informed by personal factors, and (d) departure is informed by academic culture. All participants conveyed that departing from and returning to study were significant events in their lives, and expressed a variety of reactions, both positive and negative. Participants also communicated the importance of how faculty members responded to them when departing and returning, suggesting that faculty members are uniquely positioned to respond to doctoral students departing from and returning to doctoral study. Finally, participants departed from doctoral study because of academic culture, personal factors, or a combination of both. No studies were encountered in the literature examining doctoral students who had departed from and returned to study, highlighting the singular nature of this research. The findings have implications for counseling departments, counseling faculty, and counselor education doctoral students. Limitations to the research study were elucidated and proposals for future research were offered.
Book Synopsis The Experience of Wellness for Counselor Education Doctoral Students who are Mothers by : Latoya Anderson Pierce
Download or read book The Experience of Wellness for Counselor Education Doctoral Students who are Mothers written by Latoya Anderson Pierce and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a phenomenological study on the experience of wellness of counselor education students who are mothers. The study used seven participants in two rounds of interviews and one focus group. Participants were of varying stages of motherhood and at different points in their doctoral journey. Findings included participants' views of motherhood and womanhood, sacrifices and rewards, counselor education program support, wellness, and dissonance of multiple roles. Findings were compared within and across cases using themes and categories. Suggestions for further research are made as well as implications for this population and counselor education.
Book Synopsis A Phenomenological Investigation of Counselor Education Students' Co-teaching Experiences with Faculty During Their Doctoral Training by : Eric R Baltrinic
Download or read book A Phenomenological Investigation of Counselor Education Students' Co-teaching Experiences with Faculty During Their Doctoral Training written by Eric R Baltrinic and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This phenomenological qualitative study explored counselor education doctoral students' co-teaching experiences with faculty members during the pre-candidacy phases of their program training. Nine participants from Ohio counselor education doctoral programs were purposefully sampled and interviewed to ascertain their lived experiences of co-teaching. Data were analyzed using a five-step process and revealed three overall themes: (a) co-teaching experiences are built on relationships, (b) co-teaching experiences have a structure, and (c) co-teaching experiences impact students' development as teachers. Participants' collective co-teaching experiences were mirrored in the identified themes and used as a basis for understanding co-teaching practices within counselor education doctoral programs. The findings of this study revealed the need for a working definition and the intentional implementation of co-teaching practices in counselor education doctoral programs. Additional research extending the study to include a new sample, investigating faculty members' perspectives on co-teaching, the deliberate use of mechanisms for reflective conversations, the use of different methodologies (e.g., ethnography, case study, Q-methodology, etc.), and the distinguishing features of teaching supervision in counselor education is warranted.
Book Synopsis Counselor Education Doctoral Students' Experiences as Developing Gatekeepers by : Diana Charnley
Download or read book Counselor Education Doctoral Students' Experiences as Developing Gatekeepers written by Diana Charnley and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This phenomenological study sought to understand and describe the gatekeeping experiences of counselor education doctoral students and enumerate key influences in their learning and development. A national sample of 75 doctoral students responded to the descriptive pre-screening survey, and a sub-sample of 15 completed semi-structured interviews. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis, two overarching or meta-themes and five main themes were identified pertaining to how doctoral students view their role as gatekeeper and how they learn and experience gatekeeping. Meta-themes included doctoral students feeling "in the middle", especially between faculty and master's students, and how they are working to address these uncertainties, called Navigating the Grey Spaces of Gatekeeper Development. Major themes were Perceptions of the Gatekeeper Role, Professional Relationships, Gatekeeper Contexts, Assessing Professional Competence, and Ways of Learning. Perceptions of the Gatekeeper Role revealed differences between how participants viewed gatekeeping as doctoral students and gatekeeping as future faculty for the profession. Professional Relationships described the influence of multiple roles, cultural contexts, and power dynamics doctoral students encounter as developing gatekeepers, and Gatekeeper Contexts described supervision and teaching environments where gatekeeping occurred. Assessing Professional Competence enumerates the various theoretical and practical influences in working with trainees, such as developmental approaches and informal and formal assessments. Ways of Learning identified that role models and experience with gatekeeping were most helpful for developing gatekeepers but revealed concerns about who is gatekeeping the gatekeepers. Implications for counselor education programs, faculty, students, and other stakeholders are discussed, such as the need for increased use and involvement of doctoral students as gatekeepers, clearer expectations and supports for doctoral gatekeepers, and increased conversations around gatekeeping in content courses. Directions for future research are also discussed; there is a need for studies addressing cultural dynamics in gatekeeping and gatekeeper development and the gatekeeper development of neophyte faculty.

Book Synopsis The Path to the Ph.D. by : Ad Hoc Panel on Graduate Attrition Advisory Committee
Download or read book The Path to the Ph.D. written by Ad Hoc Panel on Graduate Attrition Advisory Committee and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-01-17 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing concern among educators and policymakers about the level of attrition from Ph.D. programs in the sciences and humanities at some U.S. universities. Reliable estimates of graduate student attrition are difficult to obtain, however, because most information comes from the administrative records of individual institutions. This book provides a summary of datasets that could be used to analyze patterns of graduate student attrition and degree completion nationally, along with an analysis of recent studies on the subject. Based on this information, the committee examines the feasibility of designing a system to produce national estimates of graduate student attrition.
Book Synopsis A Phenomenological Inquiry Into the Shared Lived Experience of Married Male Doctoral Students in Counselor Education and Their Non-student Spouses by : Anthony Louis Suarez
Download or read book A Phenomenological Inquiry Into the Shared Lived Experience of Married Male Doctoral Students in Counselor Education and Their Non-student Spouses written by Anthony Louis Suarez and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research involving married doctoral students has suggested that they face a unique set of circumstances that include benefits, challenges, and changes. Additional research has highlighted the culture within Counselor Education and Supervision (CES) programs. While there are some studies that explore the experiences of married graduate students in counseling-related fields, very little literature exists that explores married students in CES programs. No such studies focus on the experiences of married male students in CES. The purpose of this study was to explore the shared lived experiences of married male doctoral students in Counselor Education and Supervision (CES) programs and their non-student spouses. Eight participants (four doctoral students and their non-student spouses) took part in this study. Using a phenomenological research design, the findings of this study were grouped by doctoral students, non-student spouses, and couples. Individual thematic labels for doctoral students and their spouses included general impressions, personal and professional changes, program-related benefits and challenges, and roles and responsibilities. Thematic labels for couples were program-related changes to marriage, marital friendship, marital conflict, traditions and rituals, and goals. The findings reveal implications for potential and current doctoral students and their non-student spouses, as well as for counselor educators. Coping strategies for students and recommendations for CES programs are also included.
Book Synopsis Narratives of TESOL Professionals by : Hayriye Kayi-Aydar
Download or read book Narratives of TESOL Professionals written by Hayriye Kayi-Aydar and published by IAP. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through insiders’ perspectives and narratives, this edited collection provides insight into the lived experiences of recent graduates of various English Applied Linguistics and/or TESOL doctoral programs in North America. The authors document how their personal and professional identities intersected during their doctoral studies and how these doctoral programs, as learning environments, supported them in their professional development and dissertation research. As such, their insider perspectives and narratives are of special value to those contemplating pursuing such a program, or are in progress towards their own degree, as well as the faculty members who advise and support these doctoral students. Chapters focus on topics immediately relevant to success and persistence in a doctoral program, such as developing a network of mentors, establishing a work-life balance, and professional socialization, among others. All authors are recent graduates of their programs who have been intentionally selected for their recent memories in navigating the process. At a time when doctoral program persistence declines at the intersection of students’ gender and racial background (see Okahana & Zhou, 2019) there is a pressing need to share the insights and lived experiences of those less commonly featured in narratives of the successful doctoral scholar. This need is especially true among TESOL professionals who will teach and learn in diverse, global settings throughout their careers following their graduation. This book contributes to that need, and it is an essential resource for scholars in TESOL/English Applied Linguistics and other similar doctoral programs.
Book Synopsis Doctoral Students: Attrition, Retention Rates, Motivation, and Financial Constraints by : Theodore Robert Regis
Download or read book Doctoral Students: Attrition, Retention Rates, Motivation, and Financial Constraints written by Theodore Robert Regis and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past 40 years, American college and university administrators have registered record low retention and high attrition rates. Education experts and researchers have claimed the problems are embarrassing to the United States’ higher education institutions. Based on the problems, graduate school administrators are unable to graduate doctoral students at U.S. population growth rates. Currently, only 1% of Americans hold PhD degrees. Compared to other industrialized countries such as Japan, China, and Mexico, the rate is insignificant. The purpose of the mixed methods case study was to investigate if there was a relationship between motivation and retention rates at the doctoral level. The goal of the study was to determine if extrinsic and intrinsic motivational factors and constraints were associated with persistence in a graduate doctoral program. Data were collected from 193 doctoral and graduate students for the quantitative study, while 20 doctoral and graduate students participated in a qualitative study followed by a thorough semi-structured interview. Inductive and deductive analyses were performed, transcribed, and opened, while axial coding provided emergent themes and sub-themes. The research showed a direct relationship between financial implications, attrition and retention rates, and motivation in doctoral level students. Many doctoral students believed the primary reason they were unable to pursue doctoral programs was based on financial hardship. Doctoral students who responded to the survey added that motivation was the second significant variable that helped them continue their studies.
Book Synopsis The Development of Doctoral Students: Phases of Challenge and Support by : Susan K. Gardner
Download or read book The Development of Doctoral Students: Phases of Challenge and Support written by Susan K. Gardner and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2009-04-13 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral students are education in U.S. institutions of higher education to become tomorrow's educators, researchers, leaders, and innovators. Only a little more than 50 percent of all doctoral students will actually complete the degree, however. Understanding the complexity of the doctoral experience may assist in educating these students and ensuring their success. This monograph presents a model of doctoral student development, viewing the experience as three phases of increasing complexity. Using theories developed from psychology, sociology, and education, the monograph provides an overview of doctoral education in the United States and the sources of challenge and support that characterize the doctoral student's experience and development. This is the sixty issue the 34th volume of the Jossey-Bass series ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monograph in the series is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education problem, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.
Book Synopsis A Phenomenological Investigation of Women's Learning Experiences in Counselor Education by : Lindsay Pennell Meyers (Ph.D.)
Download or read book A Phenomenological Investigation of Women's Learning Experiences in Counselor Education written by Lindsay Pennell Meyers (Ph.D.) and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Counselor education pedagogy has not sufficiently recognized or incorporated current knowledge of gender differences and their potential impact on women's learning experiences. Instead, the body of research that addresses gender in counselor education refers to incorporating gender in the classroom as a topic of discussion rather than considering gender as a component in the learning process. The body of literature on counselor education pedagogy at the doctoral level remains sparse. To date, no research has recognized gender as a lens for pedagogical training in the counselor education doctorate. This phenomenological study examined the learning experiences of eight women counselor education doctoral students across three CACREP accredited counselor education programs to understand how pedagogy supported or inhibited women's development as counselor educators. Women's ways of knowing (WWK) theory (Belenky, Clinchy, Goldberger, & Tarule, 1997) offered a developmental framework for understanding women's learning preferences. Data analysis revealed five themes that indicated relationships were integral in gauging and affirming participants' learning and developmental processes. Data analysis also revealed structures in the counselor education doctorate that contributed to barriers to learning for minority students. Suggestions for re-conceptualizing the counselor education doctorate are discussed.
Download or read book Daring the Doctorate written by Ada Demb and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2012-12-15 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the best kept secrets about doctoral education is the large proportion of students who are mid-career. Yet, few researchers focus on these students. Daring the Doctorate is the first major work to address the life circumstances of these mid-career doctoral students. Based on the experiences of fifteen successful graduates, the author develops perspectives and frameworks to assist those contemplating doctoral study, as well as faculty and staff advisors and even recent graduates who wonder whether only they found the road to graduation so complicated. In this thorough guide to the doctorate degree, study participants speak freely about their reasons for pursuing doctorates, as well as the financial, personal, intellectual and professional challenges they faced. Their circumstances reflect a variety of situations: single, married and partnered; some mothers and fathers; male and female; some as young as twenty-six, and others approaching their middle ages. We learn about their passion for learning, about guilt and isolation, the time pressures, the exhilaration, and key supporting roles played by family, peers, advisors, mentors, Wizards and Guardians. We come away with a profound appreciation of the courage and tenacity of these talented individuals and a better understanding of how to help others like them succeed.

Book Synopsis Beyond The Pride and The Privilege by : Agustina Purnamasari
Download or read book Beyond The Pride and The Privilege written by Agustina Purnamasari and published by IAP. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attrition among doctoral students has become a perennial issue in higher education (Gardner, 2009; Golde, 2000) as 40 to 60 percent of doctoral students do not complete their program of study (Bair &Haworth, 2005). Such outcomes are inconsistent with the rigorous evaluation that occurs prior to being accepted into a doctoral program (Bair & Haworth, 2005). Despite deemed levels of student excellence, promise and efforts made by programs to counter student departure (Offerman, 2011), attrition rates remain alarmingly high (Bair & Haworth, 2005; Gardner, 2009). The purpose of this book is to provide a view into doctoral student work-lives and their efforts to find a balance between often seemingly conflicting responsibilities. In addition to contributing to the ongoing dialogue on work-life balance in doctoral studies (Brus, 2006; Golde, 1998; Moyer, Salovey, & Casey-Cannon, 1999), the intention of this book is to provide other doctoral students with potential coping mechanisms, guidance, and assurance that they are not alone in this process. Lastly, we anticipate that these doctoral student narratives will help illuminate potential strategies that doctoral programs, departments, and institutions can incorporate in their efforts to help students successfully complete their program of study. As such the intended audience is doctoral students, higher education professionals, faculty members, and educational leaders.
Book Synopsis The Relationship Between Research Self-efficacy, Perceptions of the Research Training Environment and Interest in Research in Counselor Education Doctoral Students by : Nicole Vaccaro
Download or read book The Relationship Between Research Self-efficacy, Perceptions of the Research Training Environment and Interest in Research in Counselor Education Doctoral Students written by Nicole Vaccaro and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between research self-efficacy (as measured by the Research Self-Efficacy Scale [Greeley et al., 1989]), perceptions of the research training environment (as measured by the Research Training Environment Scale --Revised [Gelso et al., 1996]), and interest in research (as measured by the Interest in Research Questionnaire [Bieschke & Bishop, 1994]) within a national sample of doctoral counselor education students (N = 89). Additionally, the study investigated whether there were differences between levels of research self-efficacy, perceptions of the research training environment, and interest in research in relation to the demographic characteristics (i.e., age, gender, race/ethnicity, scholarly productivity, reported professional aspirations, and number of doctoral-level research courses completed) of counselor education doctoral students. An ex-post facto, cross-sectional design was implemented which included the following statistical analyses: Pearson's correlation coefficients (two-tailed), simultaneous multiple regression, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Findings identified that the demographic variables of age and doctoral-level research courses completed had a statistically significant effect upon perceptions of the research training environment. In addition, results suggested that scholarly activity had a statistically significant effect on research self-efficacy scores. Finally, interest in research was positively correlated with research self-efficacy scores. In summary, the study addressed the present void in the counselor education literature with regard to counselor education doctoral students' development in the areas of research self-efficacy, perceptions of the research training environment, and interest in research. In order to contribute to the counselor education literature and support doctoral student development, it is crucial that counselor education doctoral training programs provide an effective research training environment to foster and encourage student research. Recognizing and appreciating the influence of counselor education doctoral students' research self-efficacy, perceptions of the research training environment, and interest in research may not only be important for students, but is also necessary for counselor education doctoral preparation programs to continue to develop and prepare students for academic positions and success. Study findings may provide beneficial information to assist colleges and universities to develop and tailor polices to encourage and foster research amongst their doctoral counselor education students.
