Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study has been to inquire into the extent and character of retention, transfer, and withdrawal of undergraduate students in a group of representative institutions of higher education. Attention has been given to characteristics of students, their standing in high school and on placement, their reasons for going to college, their financial resources, their subjects of greatest interest, the location of their homes in relation to college, where they lived while attending college, their extracurricular activities, and the extent to which they contributed to the defrayment of their college expenses. Particular emphasis has been placed on length of attendance and reasons for transfer and discontinuance. Three appendixes present: (1) Consultants and Participants; (2) Schedules and Forms; and (3) Tables. A bibliography is included. (Contains 78 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.].

This book was released on 2013 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 275-page study looks closely at how colleges are developing special programs to retain at risk populations such as students in need of remedial help, immigrants, students with limited financial means, and other categories of student at risk of withdrawal. The study examines the effectiveness of programs in remedial mathematics and writing, English as a Second Language, special programs for at-risk veterans, financial literacy programs, specialized tutoring, and other programs and approaches designed to identify and help students at risk of withdrawal. The study helps administrators to answer questions such as: what are the most effective methods of helping such students? Tutoring? Counseling? Peer Advising? Specialized classes? How are such programs paid for? What kinds of programs get the most budgetary support? What is the role of grants and other forms of outside support? How are programs assessed?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on studies funded by the Lumina Foundation, the nation's largest private foundation focused solely on increasing Americans' success in higher education, the authors revise current theories of college student departure, including Tinto's, making the important distinction between residential and commuter colleges and universities, and thereby taking into account the role of the external environment and the characteristics of social communities in student departure and retention. A unique feature of the authors' approach is that they also consider the role that the various characteristics of different states play in degree completion and first-year persistence. First-year college student retention and degree completion is a multi-layered, multi-dimensional problem, and the book's recommendations for state- and institutional-level policy and practice will help policy-makers and planners at all levels as well as anyone concerned with institutional retention rates—and helping students reach their maximum potential for success—understand the complexities of the issue and develop policies and initiatives to increase student persistence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on college student attrition and retention is reviewed. Overall dropout rates and the reasons students give for dropping out are examined, and an attempt is made to assess the outcomes of going straight through college, as opposed to dropping out, temporarily leaving school, and not going to college at all. The demographic, academic, motivational, and personal characteristics of students who are likely to drop out are examined, along with the effect of the general college environmental factors on persistence. College programs designed to upgrade the level of educational service and encourage students to remain in college are described. The programs concern: pre-enrollment information, admissions, college costs and ways to meet them, orientation, faculty and student interaction, academic programs, counseling and advising, career development, campus activities, housing, the withdrawal procedure, two-year colleges, and administration of the retention program. Students' reasons for dropping out include academic matters, financial difficulties, motivational problems, personal considerations, dissatisfaction with college, military service, and full-time jobs. The evidence indicates that college does make a difference in improvement in self-image, social maturity, interests, competence, and employment. A chart indicates what the last 50 years of retention research have shown about the types of students who are more likely to persist and the types who are less likely to persist. An extensive bibliography is included. (SW)

This book was released on 2011 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Institutions of higher education have come to view the retention of college students as the only reasonable mechanism of their survival, and a growing number have turned their energies on measures through which they can mitigate the ever- increasing and worrisome student withdrawal rates. Research shows that over half of all college- entering students in the United States of America are likely to leave before they complete their first year. It is estimated that American colleges and universities lose approximately one billion dollars a year from first-year student attrition. Globalization, with its accompanying socioeconomic, demographic, and technological changes, is having a significant impact on countries' workforce and their postsecondary institutions. For a countries to successfully compete in the global economy, they need more highly educated and skilled workforces. Such workforces must be able to adapt to the needs of rapidly changing and more technically demanding global work environments. Today, six out of every ten jobs require some post-high school education and training.

This book was released on 2004-03-16 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ·What is the policy background to current interest in retention and student success? ·What causes students to leave institutions without completing their programmes? ·How can theory and research help institutions to encourage student success? Retention and completion rates are important measures of the performance of institutions and higher education systems. Understanding the causes of student non-completion is vital for an institution seeking to increase the chances of student success. The early chapters of this book discuss retention and student success from a public policy perspective. The later chapters concentrate on theory and research evidence, and on how these can inform institutional practices designed to enhance retention and success (particularly where students are enrolled from disadvantaged backgrounds). This book draws upon international experience, particularly from the United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa and the United States. Retention and Student Success in Higher Education is essential reading for lecturers, support staff, and senior managers in higher education institutions, and for those with a wider policy interest in these matters.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education institutions have already begun to see decreasing enrollment numbers, even as higher education enrollment is predicted to drop precipitously starting in 2025. Much of the decrease in enrollment will be driven by demographic trends about which higher education institutions can do little, making the retention of students who do enroll that much more important. Overall retention rates have stagnated and differential retention rates by race and ethnicity have persisted. If higher education institutions, researchers, and policy makers are to improve retention rates, a critical examination of the current state and future directions of retention research is essential.This edited volume begins that examination by addressing several questions: What are the needed directions in theory and research on college student persistence and how do we translate new theory and research into effective practices? Are we asking the right questions, looking in the right places, or trying to apply out-of-date theories to new populations? In short, how can the research community help institutions improve retention in this challenging time?

Download or read book College Students' Sense of Belonging written by Terrell L. Strayhorn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how belonging differs based on students’ social identities, such as race, gender, sexual orientation, or the conditions they encounter on campus. 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. 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.
