Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative study was to find predictors of student success. Using a predictive correlational design, the intent of the study was to find the relationships between the dichotomous dependent variable with the categories, degree recipients and non-degree recipients, and the independent variables, student characteristics and risk factors. The conceptual framework for this study was Astin's Input-Environment-Outcome (I-E-O) model which addresses the complexities of research in higher education by highlighting the interdependence between inputs, environments, and outputs. The use of a predictive design allowed the researcher to find the likelihood of a relationship between outcomes by using the independent variables as predictors. To address the research questions descriptive statistics, bivariate cross tabulations, and binary logistic regression were conducted. The descriptive statistics were reported from the participants' responses and the percentage of the total response. The bivariate cross tabulations measured the relationship between the expected and observed counts for the two categories. During the analysis only the significant categorical variables were retained and entered into SPSS using the default enter mode. The distinguishing characteristics of successful community college students were found in the student characteristics age, race, and parents' education. The distinguishing characteristics of risk factors were found in delayed enrollment, dependents, and part-time enrollment. Specifically, the predictors for participants who earned the associate degree consisted of a non-traditional aged student, who is White, with a parent who graduated from college or higher, had a minimal delay in entry into the community college, was enrolled part-time, and did not have dependents. Implications from practice to policy are presented in relation to how the community college should strengthen its focus on the traditional aged student who is a minority, the first in the family to attend college, has a minimal delay in their entry into college, enrolls full-time, and has dependents. -- Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than thirty years, The American Community College has been the go-to reference for faculty, administrators, trustees, state-level officials, and researchers concerned with the role of community colleges in the American educational system, the services they provide, and their effects on students and surrounding communities. Now in its sixth edition, The American Community College includes a new chapter on student outcomes and accountability; a case for reconceptualizing general education around critical thinking, civic engagement, and sustainable development; and an appendix examining the ascendant for-profit sector. The sixth edition also incorporates expanded analyses of recent trends within the community colleges, including vertical expansion; cross-sector collaboration; student and faculty characteristics; enrollment patterns; revenue generation and state allocation patterns, including performance-based funding; distance learning; and statewide efforts to improve transfer and articulation. In addition, the authors include a response to contemporary criticisms of the institution. Comprehensive in scope, the sixth edition of The American Community College is designed for anyone concerned with the role and purpose of community institutions in American higher education. The descriptions and analyses of each of the institution’s functions can be used by administrators who want to learn about practices that have proven successful at other colleges, curriculum planners involved in program revisions, faculty members seeking ideas for modifying their courses, students preparing for careers in community colleges, and trustees and officials concerned with college policies and student progress and outcomes. Each chapter of the book includes guiding questions for reflection and discussion.

Book Synopsis What Community College Policies and Practices Are Effective in Promoting Student Success? by : Davis Jenkins
Download or read book What Community College Policies and Practices Are Effective in Promoting Student Success? written by Davis Jenkins and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to identify the policies and practices of community colleges that are effective in enabling their students to succeed in postsecondary education. The study was conducted through a partnership with the Florida Department of Education's Division of Community Colleges and Workforce Education and funded by the Lumina Foundation for Education as part of its Achieving the Dream initiative. Achieving the Dream is a national effort to increase the success of community college students, particularly those in groups that have been underserved in higher education. The initiative works on multiple fronts including technical assistance to community colleges, research, public engagement, and public policy-and emphasizes the use of data to drive change. This study builds on earlier research that the Community College Research Center (CCRC) has conducted using national survey data. Transcript-level data on 150,000 students in three cohorts of first-time Florida community college students and a regression methodology to estimate the effect that each of the 28 Florida community colleges has on the probability of its students' achieving a successful outcome, after controlling for characteristics of the individual students was used. This effect can be seen as a measure of value added-the impact that a college has on its students' educational success independent of the characteristics of individual students. The colleges according to their estimated effects on student success, were then ranked. Appended are: (1) Methodology for Measuring Institutional Impact on Student Success Using Student Cohort Data from the Florida Community Colleges; and (2) Profiles of High- and Low-Impact Community Colleges. (Contains 4 tables and 27 endnotes.) [This report was written with Thomas R. Bailey, Peter Crosta, Timothy Leinbach, James Marshall, Andrea Soonachan, and Michelle Van Noy.].

This book was released on 2010-07-15 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last two decades, there has been growing interest in pursuing theoretical paradigms that capture complex learning situations. Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) is one of several theoretical frameworks that became very popular among educational researchers because it conceptualizes individuals and their environment as a holistic unit of analysis. It assumes a non-dualistic ontology and acknowledges the complexities involved in human activity in natural settings. Recently, reputable journals such as the American Psychologist, Educational Psychologist, and Educational Researcher that are targeted for a wide-range of audience have included articles on CHAT. In many of such articles, CHAT has been referred to as social constructivism, sociocultural theory, or activity theory. Activity systems analysis is one of the popular methods among CHAT researchers for mapping complex human interactions from qualitative data. However, understanding the methods involved in activity systems analysis is a challenging task for many researchers. This difficulty derives from several reasons. First the original texts of CHAT are in Russian and there have been numerous authors who report on the difficulties of reconciling translation problems of the works of original authors’ such as Vygotsky and Leontiev. Second, in North America activity systems analysis has deviated from the Russian scholars’ intentions and Engeström’s original work using the triangle model to identify tensions to overcome and bring about sociopolitical change in participant practices. Third, to this date there are numerous publications on the theoretical background of activity theory and studies reporting the results of using activity systems analysis for unpacking qualitative data sets, but there have been no methodological publications on how researchers engage in activity systems analysis. Thus, there is a dearth of literature in both book and journal publications that guide researchers on the methodological issues involving activity systems analysis.
