This book was released on 2019 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cross-sectional survey study was conducted to determine if California community colleges designated as Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) assess incoming students for basic computer skills, provide learning support for these skills, as well as assess the attitude of administrators towards basic computer skills of incoming students. Prior published research documented the false assumption in higher education incoming students are "digital natives", capable of effectively using technology expected on college campuses; however, there was no research focused on community colleges designated as HSIs. The study adds to the body of literature about the assessment of and support for basic computer skills on college campuses. For purposes of the study, "basic computer skills" were defined in five categories: -The ability to use word processing software (most commonly Microsoft Word); -The ability to use spreadsheet software to prepare charts and graphs (most commonly Microsoft Excel); -The ability to use software for classroom presentations and speeches (most commonly Microsoft PowerPoint); -The ability to navigate the Internet for research; and -The capability of learning and participating in online classrooms using various platforms or software. The participants in this study were administrators in key academic positions representing all 55 community colleges HSIs in the state. All participants in the study held an administrator position at the time of the study. Each participant was asked a series of nine survey research questions, distributed via e-mail. All participants were asked the same questions and responses were electronically recorded and analyzed. The survey determined the following: 1. Community college HSIs in California do not assess incoming students for basic computer skills. 2. Community college HSIs in California have varying academic support for basic computer skills. 3. Basic computer skills courses are not prerequisites for non-computer skill courses or programs. 4. Most California community college HSI administrators believe computer skills are basic college level skills. 5. However, most California community college HSI administrators are not concerned about the level of basic computer skills of the student body. The responses from participants in the study emphasize the need for institutional change.

This book was released on 1999-03-25 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's undergraduate studentsâ€"future leaders, policymakers, teachers, and citizens, as well as scientists and engineersâ€"will need to make important decisions based on their understanding of scientific and technological concepts. However, many undergraduates in the United States do not study science, mathematics, engineering, or technology (SME&T) for more than one year, if at all. Additionally, many of the SME&T courses that students take are focused on one discipline and often do not give students an understanding about how disciplines are interconnected or relevant to students' lives and society. To address these issues, the National Research Council convened a series of symposia and forums of representatives from SME&T educational and industrial communities. Those discussions contributed to this book, which provides six vision statements and recommendations for how to improve SME&T education for all undergraduates. The book addresses pre-college preparation for students in SME&T and the joint roles and responsibilities of faculty and administrators in arts and sciences and in schools of education to better educate teachers of K-12 mathematics, science, and technology. It suggests how colleges can improve and evaluate lower-division undergraduate courses for all students, strengthen institutional infrastructures to encourage quality teaching, and better prepare graduate students who will become future SME&T faculty.

Download or read book An Assessment Comparing Community College Students' Computer Self-efficacy and Task Based Computer Knowledge written by Amy Nicholson Stewart and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This quantitative research study explored the relationship between students' perceived computer self-efficacy and actual knowledge of computer related skills in computer hardware/technology, windows, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint and whether gender, race, and education level affected the research findings. The participants in this study were students enrolled in an introductory computer concepts course at a community college located in the southeastern region of the United States. The computer course was a requirement for all students to receive an Associate of Arts and Associate of Applied Science degree. Data was collected in traditional face-to-face class sections and consisted of a pre- and post-computer self-efficacy survey and a pre- and post-test skills assessment on three different campuses. The scores in the area of computer hardware/technology, windows, Word, Excel, and Power Point were compared to determine whether a relationship exists between Computer self-efficacy and actual knowledge in the area of computers. In addition to a series of a one-way Analysis of Variance, a Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance, and a Bivariate Correlation, the study also utilized descriptive analysis of demographic data and responses to a questionnaire regarding participants' prior technology experience and usage. Findings of the study indicated that students' computer self-efficacy was much greater than actual knowledge in the area of computers. Findings of the study did show no significant difference in computer self-efficacy concerning gender, race, and education. No significant differences were found in the education level and skill level of the participants at the beginning of the CSC 1113 course. A significant difference was found in skill level among the different races at the beginning of the CSC 1113 course with the exception of Power Point. The study did show that there was no significant difference in skill level for gender except in the area of technology. The study found a positive correlation in the numbers of computer courses students completed in high school to computer self-efficacy at the beginning of the semester in the course CSC 1113. At the completion of the course CSC 1113, Computer Concepts, computer self-efficacy scores were significantly higher. Findings also showed a significant increase in the skill levels, Windows, Word, Excel, and Power Point at the completion of the CSC 1113 course. The study had not shown significant difference in hardware/technology skills at the completion of the CSC 1113 course. --Page ii.

Download or read book Postsecondary Play written by William G. Tierney and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Games and social media can improve college access, attract and support students, and boost rates of completion. The college application process—which entails multiple forms, essays, test scores, and deadlines—can be intimidating. For students without substantial school and family support, the complexity of this process can become a barrier to access. William G. Tierney, Tracy Fullerton, and their teams at the University of Southern California approach this challenge innovatively. Using the tools of online games and social media, they have developed ways to make applying for college much less intimidating. While the vast majority of college students use social media and gaming in their everyday lives, colleges and universities have been slow to recognize and harness the power of either. Postsecondary Play explores the significance of games and social media in higher education, and particularly how they can be used to attract, retain, educate, and socialize students. Tierney, a past president of the American Educational Research Association, has gathered some of the best research on the emerging role of games and social media in the classroom and how these tools can boost student confidence and increase college access. Scholars writing from a wide variety of disciplines—college access, social media, game studies, and learning sciences—provide concrete examples to illustrate the new and complex ways in which students learn in response to social media and games. Tierney and the contributors find that, although games can be powerful tools for encouraging underserved students, quality game design and mastering the concept of play—the ability to develop skills while engaging in the game—are essential in the effective use of serious games in teaching and learning. Summarizing a decade of research in game design and learning, Postsecondary Play will appeal to higher education scholars and students of learning, online gaming, education, and the media.
