Download or read book Three Case Studies of Factors Related to Non-completion of Doctorate Degree Then Doctoral Degree Attainment Through a Degree Completion Program at a Different Institution written by Tamara Bell Boyle and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the major goals pursued by the author of this study is to give hope to doctoral-non-completer-students who wish to earn their Doctorate in Education (Ed.D.). The other major goal is to provide insight to instructors and institutions about why a doctoral student might leave a program whilst guiding the instructors and institutions about the factors doctoral-non-completer-students need to complete their Ed.D. degree. Therefore, this research will examine: What are the principal factors that influenced doctoral-non-completer-students to leave their original doctoral program without completing the degree? Thus, doctoral-non-completer-students will have a voice and share their opinions about their experience at their original doctoral degree program. The research findings of this study identify employment and financial factors as the principal reasons for non-completion of the doctorate. Furthermore, program environment, program disorganization, perception that not all of the required courses were in line with the degree, lack of support, lack of dissertation coursework, and job stressors were additional factors for the doctoral-non-completer leaving their original doctoral program. Let it be noted that none of the doctoral-non-completer-students reached out to their original higher educational institution to explain their personal situation and ask for help. In addition, this study will also address the following guiding question: What are the principal factors that influenced these prior doctoral-non-completer-students to complete their degree requirements in a different university’s doctoral program? This research will also allow the former-doctoral-non-completer to have a voice and share their opinions about their experience at the Institution Z’s All But Dissertation Completion Program (ABD program). The main reason Participant A completed the ABD program at Institution Z was on-line courses that was highly flexible. Whereas Participant B was able to restructure his life (i.e., retire) and Participant C was in a different financial situation. In addition, a cohort model, connecting with other students, supportive dissertation chair, flexibility with program requirements, and course-structure when writing dissertation were additional factors for the participants completing the ABD program. Institution Z does not use a typical doctoral course sequence. Instead, Institution Z utilizes a simultaneous doctoral course sequence, which includes a dissertation course-structure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Qualitative Dissertation in Education focuses on the experiences of students pursuing a doctorate in education and writing a qualitative dissertation. The literature on qualitative research has grown substantially over the past 25 years, but methods books often fail to consider the unique situations and resources available to students pursuing a professional doctorate. This book examines the entirety of the dissertation experience, walking readers through the process with examples and guidelines. The structure of the book outlines each chapter of the dissertation as well as the necessary steps to start and complete the dissertation, such as working with a faculty chair and committee, developing a peer support group, and organizing literature. Not only does the book cover each stage of the dissertation process, it also provides practical guidance on topics such as productivity, with exercises and resources to help students overcome obstacles and make progress in their writing. The Qualitative Dissertation in Education provides a foundation to understand both the basics of qualitative research and the expectations of the EdD dissertation.

Download or read book Experiences Influencing Degree Completion Articulated by Doctoral Students in Education Administration written by David Lee Barnett and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational literature indicates that approximately half of all doctoral students persist to degree completion. The literature indicates persistence rates among the social sciences are even lower. This study examined factors influencing doctoral student persistence in education administration programs. Tinto's theory of graduate student persistence framed four research questions: Do the demographics of doctoral students persisting to degree completion in education administration differ from those not completing their programs? Do doctoral students in education administration programs articulate experiences of academic integration as influencing their persistence? Do doctoral students in education administration programs articulate experiences of social integration as influencing their persistence? Do doctoral students in education administration programs attribute commitments to external obligations as influencing their persistence? The design of the study was interpretive and exploratory in nature and utilized constant comparative analysis techniques. Survey and interview were used to collect participant views of doctoral student experiences. Participants (N = 30) for the study included those who had completed their dissertations (N = 15) and those who were All But Dissertation (N = 15) and attended two comprehensive research universities in the southeastern United States. The major findings from the study were that (a) no differences existed in demographics reported by degree completers and ABO participants; (b) degree completers described experiences related to academic integration, social integration, and external obligations as having sustaining effects on their perSistence to degree completion; (c) and ABO participants described experiences related to academic integration, social integration, and external obligations as having restraining effects on their perSistence. Findings indicated that students having positive academic and social integration experiences and the ability to negotiate shared responsibility for duties related to external obligations were more likely to complete their programs. Findings also supported that students having negative academic and social integration experiences and an inability to negotiate shared responsibility for duties related to external obligations were less likely to complete their programs.

The book can be used to improve support from key stakeholders within EdD programs for the implementation of the DiP in the development of practitioner-scholars. The first section of the book discusses the difference between the DiP and traditional dissertations, the history of the DiP, and how the practitioner-scholar is developed through the DiP process. Next, the book describes the elements that are reflective of a high-quality DiP. Finally, it addresses a few of the unique formats that are sometimes used with the DiP, some of the practical issues with implementing the DiP, and issues of the future including the use of artificial intelligence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, the second in the projected three-volume Forces and Forms in Doctoral Education Worldwide series sponsored by the Center for Innovation in Graduate Education (CIRGE) at the University of Washington, invites readers to listen in as nearly thirty distinguished scholars and thought leaders confront urgent questions about doctoral education in a globalizing world: • How are research doctoral education and the research PhD degree evolving in different national contexts? • How do researchers in the early stage of their careers assess the value of doctoral education? • What are the challenges of using international demographic data from existing PhD programs to analyze trends in doctoral education? • What can happen when regional issues intersect with the need to evaluate doctoral education and ensure its quality? • Which quality-assurance model has been gaining favor in PhD education, and what challenges does it pose? • What accounts for conflict between national interests and international collaboration in doctoral education? • Is there empirical evidence of globalization’s impact on doctoral education and the labor market for PhD graduates? This follow-up to Toward a Global PhD? (University of Washington Press, 2008), the first volume in the series, includes case studies illustrating global trends in the structure, function, and quality frameworks of doctoral education, and it develops a conceptual framework linking globalization to trends in doctoral education while showing the particular history that has led to the convergence of a number of practices in one or more countries.
