Book excerpt: This is a study examining the interaction between certain doctoral student engagement indicators (peer, institution, curriculum, faculty, spirituality) and student satisfaction. The scope is to understand if student sense of community is a significant moderator to this interaction in order to address the issue of student attrition. It is important to understand these interactions and the influence of sense of community so that institutions of higher education better analyze student commitment. The outcomes of this study may be used as a means to design and implement engagement strategies that are effective in student retention and completion. Doctoral students were invited through email to participate in a Likert survey comprised of multiple scales measuring the key engagement indicators along with sense of community and student satisfaction. The quantitative results show that engagement is a predictor of satisfaction and, in some cases, is significantly moderated by sense of community. This study supports contemporary research conclusions suggesting that both student engagement and academic communities are paramount to student satisfaction which will ultimately lead to higher rates of retention. Recommendations for future research include determining how online students will be better served through engaging academic communities and strategies designed to enhance the engagement experiences.

Book excerpt: Community colleges have traditionally struggled with student retention. A growing subset of today's community college students seek degree programs that will not only fortify their minds, but prepare them to meet current workforce demands. The post-recession view of community colleges as engines of change, relative to affordability and gainful employment, has prompted government officials and college leaders to explore ways to best meet students' needs from enrollment to graduation. This study examined the effects of infusing relationship-marketing strategies into academic advising practice to improve student retention. The researcher believes that service augmentation and relationship customization can significantly improve student-institution bonds. The conceptual framework for this study is grounded in Tinto's student engagement model (retention), Berry's relationship-marketing approach, and academic advising theory. The researcher used an explanatory mixed-methods design to explore the following research questions: (a) How can relationship-marketing strategies be used to improve the formation of affective advisor-advisee bonds? (b) How does academic advisors' implementation of relationship-marketing strategies impact student retention? And (c) What is the relationship between students' satisfaction with academic advising and retention rates? This research used an explanatory mixed-methods approach and a sample of 93 students and four professional academic advisors to examine the impact of relationship-marketing on student retention. The results indicated that relationship-marketing concepts, namely service augmentation and relationship customization were strong determinants of affective advisor-advisee bonds. The results also indicate that students' retention behavior was strongly determined by advisor-advisee bonds and a sense of belonging to the institution. Student satisfaction with the advising process was also a contributing factor in their decision to remain enrolled at the college. In addition, trust, honesty, and openness in the relationship-building process was a strong determinant of a student's decision to return. The findings of this study suggest that a comprehensive, authentic approach to developing, managing, and maintaining student relationships can impact student satisfaction with the university and their college experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of soaring tuition costs, more and more students go to college every year. A bachelor’s degree is now required for entry into a growing number of professions. And some parents begin planning for the expense of sending their kids to college when they’re born. Almost everyone strives to go, but almost no one asks the fundamental question posed by Academically Adrift: are undergraduates really learning anything once they get there? For a large proportion of students, Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa’s answer to that question is a definitive no. Their extensive research draws on survey responses, transcript data, and, for the first time, the state-of-the-art Collegiate Learning Assessment, a standardized test administered to students in their first semester and then again at the end of their second year. According to their analysis of more than 2,300 undergraduates at twenty-four institutions, 45 percent of these students demonstrate no significant improvement in a range of skills—including critical thinking, complex reasoning, and writing—during their first two years of college. As troubling as their findings are, Arum and Roksa argue that for many faculty and administrators they will come as no surprise—instead, they are the expected result of a student body distracted by socializing or working and an institutional culture that puts undergraduate learning close to the bottom of the priority list. Academically Adrift holds sobering lessons for students, faculty, administrators, policy makers, and parents—all of whom are implicated in promoting or at least ignoring contemporary campus culture. Higher education faces crises on a number of fronts, but Arum and Roksa’s report that colleges are failing at their most basic mission will demand the attention of us all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Belonging—with peers, in the classroom, or on campus—is a critical dimension of success at college. It can affect a student’s degree of academic adjustment, achievement, aspirations, or even whether a student stays in school. This book explores how belonging differs based on students’ social identities, such as race, gender, sexual orientation, or the conditions they encounter on campus. The 2nd Edition of College Students’ Sense of Belonging explores student sub-populations and campus environments, offering readers updated information about sense of belonging, how it develops for students, and a conceptual model for helping students belong and thrive. Underpinned by theory and research and offering practical guidelines for improving educational environments and policies, this book is an important resource for higher education and student affairs professionals, scholars, and graduate students interested in students’ success. New to this second edition: A refined theory of college students’ sense of belonging and review of current literature in light of new and emerging theories; Expanded best practices related to fostering sense of belonging in classrooms, clubs, residence halls, and other contexts; Updated research and insights for new student populations such as youth formerly in foster care, formerly incarcerated adults, and homeless students; Coverage on a broad range of topics since the first edition of this book, including cultural navigation, academic spotting, and the "shared faith" element of belonging.

Book excerpt: Drawing on Tinto's (1975, 1987, 1993) interactionalist model of student attrition, this survey study examined students' cultural differences from dominant graduate communities, integration in graduate programs, and attitudes towards educational persistence. Cultural differences were assessed by a measure of cumulative diversity, which summed students' number of memberships across traditionally underrepresented demographic groups. Integration was assessed by measures of advisor/mentor satisfaction and sense of community in the graduate program. Data from 330 doctoral students in APA-accredited clinical psychology programs showed that cumulative diversity had different effects by sex. Whereas cumulative diversity was unrelated to integration or persistence-related attitudes for women, it was related to less favorable integration and persistence-related attitudes for men. Integration, particularly sense of program community, was an important predictor of persistence-related attitudes for both genders. Sense of program community mediated the relationship between cumulative diversity and persistence-related attitudes for men only. Implications for student retention are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College student retention continues to be a top priority among colleges, universities, educators, federal and state legislatures, parents and students. While access to higher education is virtually universally available, many students who start in a higher education program do not complete the program or achieve their academic and personal goals. In spite of the programs and services colleges and universities have devoted to this issue, student retention and graduation rates have not improved considerably over time. College Student Retention: Formula for Student Success, Third Edition offers a solution to this vexing problem. It provides background information about college student retention issues and offers the educational community pertinent information to help all types of students succeed. The book lays out the financial implications and trends of retention. Current theories of retention, retention of online students, and retention in community colleges are also thoroughly discussed. Completely new to this edition are chapters that examine retention of minority and international students. Additionally, a formula for student success is provided which if colleges and universities implement student academic and personal goals may be attained.

Book excerpt: While online courses are said to be beneficial and many reputable brick and mortar higher education institutions are now offering undergraduate and graduate programs online, there is still ongoing debate on issues related to credibility and acceptability. There is some reluctance to teach online and to admit and hire students who have enrolled in online programs. Given these concerns, it is essential that educators in online communities continue to share the significant learning experiences and outcomes that occur in online classrooms and highlight pedagogical practices used by online instructors to make their courses and programs comparable to those offered face-to-face. The Handbook of Research on Creating Meaningful Experiences in Online Courses is a comprehensive research book that examines the quality of courses in higher education that are offered exclusively online and details strategies and practices used by online instructors to create meaningful teaching and learning experiences in online courses. Featuring a range of topics such as gamification, professional development, and learning outcomes, this book is ideal for academicians, researchers, educators, administrators, instructional designers, curriculum developers, higher education faculty, and students.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Institutions of higher education invest significant amounts of money building state-of-the-art campus recreation facilities in an environment where student fees and debt are increasing, while graduation and retention are declining. This contradictory environment places large investments at the forefront of scrutiny by higher education decision makers. However, this thesis supports the need for campus recreation centers on university campuses through recognizing the important role campus recreation centers play in building community and aiding in social integration among students. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of campus recreation in fostering a sense of community and the relationship between that sense of community and student persistence. Utilizing a mixed methods research approach from 141 student surveys at a higher education institution in the mid-Atlantic, results indicate a positive correlation between usage of campus recreation facilities and psychological sense of community in campus recreation student users. Results of this study do not support the notion that a higher psychological sense of community is related to student achievement or student persistence. However, additional research is necessary to further solidify these explore these relationships. The current study supports campus recreation as a critical aspect of the campus environment and a place where students reap a variety of benefits (e.g., physically, mentally, and socially).

This book was released on 2019 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over ten years ago, a new, clearly defined purpose for the degree of Doctor in Education was introduced that focused on professional education practitioners. After decades of confusion between the Ed.D. and Ph.D.in Education, the Carnegie Project on Education Doctorate (CPED), laid out a national definition, guiding principles for program design, and design-concepts upon which to build education doctorate programs. This quantitative study explored student satisfaction with four of the six CPED design-concepts upon which programs are built: Scholarly Practitioner, Inquiry as Practice, Laboratories of Practice, and Dissertation of Practice; along with two additional characteristics that are customary in Ed.D programs include: a cohort model and accelerated time to degree of three years. The study also examined overall program satisfaction. Furthermore, the study examined student enrollment motivation, using the types of motivation identified by Scott, Brown, and Lunt (2004), (1) extrinsic-professional initiation, (2) extrinsic-professional continuation, and (3) intrinsic-personal/professional affirmation. Lastly, through inferential statistics the study sought to identify relationships between enrollment motivation, student satisfaction, and student characteristics, including: gender, age, ethnicity, children in the home, financial support, career stage, year in program, and program concentration. In Spring 2018, currently enrolled Ed.D students at five California State University campuses participated in an online survey created by the researcher. Results of the study provide researchers and program administrators with additional information about the student perspective regarding CPED design-concepts in their programs. Furthermore, the results also provide deans and directors of programs information about satisfaction and motivation that can lead to more directed recruitment and improved retention within the program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sense of belonging refers to the extent a student feels included, accepted, valued, and supported on their campus. The developmental process of belonging is interwoven with the social identity development of diverse college students. Moreover, belonging is influenced by the campus environment, relationships, and involvement opportunities as well as a need to master the student role and achieve academic success. Although the construct of sense of belonging is complex and multilayered, a consistent theme across the chapters in this book is that the relationship between sense of belonging and intersectionality of identity cannot be ignored, and must be integrated into any approach to fostering belonging. Over the last 10 years, colleges and universities have started grappling with the notion that their approaches to maintaining and increasing student retention, persistence, and graduation rates were no longer working. As focus shifted to uncovering barriers to student success while concurrently recognizing student success as more than solely academic factors, the term "student sense of belonging" gained traction in both academic and co-curricular settings. The editors noticed the lack of a consistent definition, or an overarching theoretical approach, as well as a struggle to connect disparate research. A compendium of research, applications, and approaches to sense of belonging did not exist, so they brought this book into being to serve as a single point of reference in an emerging and promising field of study." --
