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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this 1994 classic work on student retention, Vincent Tinto synthesizes far-ranging research on student attrition and on actions institutions can and should take to reduce it. The key to effective retention, Tinto demonstrates, is in a strong commitment to quality education and the building of a strong sense of inclusive educational and social community on campus. He applies his theory of student departure to the experiences of minority, adult, and graduate students, and to the situation facing commuting institutions and two-year colleges. Especially critical to Tinto’s model is the central importance of the classroom experience and the role of multiple college communities.

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.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research higher degree completion rates in African universities are relatively low. Most graduate research students complete their degrees outside the stipulated degree completion time. The study attempted an investigation of the underlying causes of this state of affairs using the case study of the oldest university in East and Central Africa, Makerere University. The study was guided by three themes; institutional factors, student-based factors and supervisor-related factors. The study findings suggest that the student research administration architecture is not supportive of timely completion. Delays in submission of external examiner reports, lack of steady study financing, student full-time employment and low research supervision capacity across graduate departments at Makerere University are some of the leading causes of low research degree completion rates. The study recommends an overhaul of the graduate research administration structure, increase in graduate scholarships and increased research supervision capacities and a diversification of graduate degree training formats.

Download or read book Higher Education Outcomes Assessment for the Twenty-First Century written by Peter Hernon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-05-09 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses recent trends in outcomes assessment, examines how state governments are reshaping the national discussion with higher education, and explains how libraries must respond to these changes. Higher Education Outcomes Assessment for the Twenty-first Century focuses on recent developments in outcomes assessment, especially from the perspectives of the federal government and state governments, as well as foundations concerned about the state of higher education. The authors identify the significant changes that these stakeholders call for—information that academic librarians and anyone following outcomes assessment need to be aware of—and interpret the discussions to identify implications for libraries. Building upon the foundation of knowledge presented in the previous two Libraries Unlimited Outcomes Assessment in Higher Education titles, this book provides readers with up-to-date coverage of topics such as the emerging metrics used to define student and institutional success; the increased importance of accountability and the need to compare and assess the performance of programs and institutions rather than individual courses; and the shift in prioritizing student outcomes over student learning outcomes. The authors also spotlight the critical need for libraries to fit their role within the national discussion and suggest ways in which library managers and directors can play a role in redirecting the discussion to their benefit.

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: Graduate schools have faced attrition rates of approximately 50 percent for the past 40 years. They have tried to address the problem by focusing on student characteristics and by assuming that if they could make better, more informed admissions decisions, attrition rates would drop. Yet high attrition rates persist and may in fact be increasing. Leaving the Ivory Tower thus turns the issue around and asks what is wrong with the structure and process of graduate education. Based on hard evidence drawn from a survey of 816 completers and noncompleters and on interviews with noncompleters, high- and low-Ph.D productive faculty and Directors of Graduate study, this book locates the root cause of attrition in the social structure and cultural organization of graduate education.
