Download or read book Potential Attrition in Education written by Elsje J. Hall and published by HSRC Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decision to change one's job is usually preceded by a process of job evaluation and determining alternative employment opportunities. Dissatisfaction with the workplace can be a strong incentive to seek alternative opportunities. This study focuses on the role played by job satisfaction, morale and HIV/AIDS in educator attrition. The responses of educators who considered leaving their jobs were compared to the responses of those preferring to stay. Findings reveal that job dissatisfaction linked to poor salaries and limited possibilities for career development, as well as the lack of status and respect attached to the profession, may push educators out of the classroom. The low morale amongst potential leavers reflects this dissatisfaction, as well as the stress caused by curriculum transformation and the emotional impact of HIV/AIDS. Factors encouraging educators to stay in their profession included their passion for developing young people and strong collegial relationships. However, many also feel trapped by limited job alternatives, and may embark on withdrawal options such as increased absenteeism or lower outputs. It is crucially important to deal with the sources of educator frustration, lest the result becomes deteriorating service provision and quality in South African education.
Book Synopsis Teacher Attrition by : David Waltz Grissmer
Download or read book Teacher Attrition written by David Waltz Grissmer and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report develops a strategy for improving national and state forecasts of future teacher attrition rates. The authors (1) develop a theory of teacher attrition that accounts for the disparate reasons for attrition and explains the patterns of attrition unique to each life cycle and career stage; (2) selectively review existing literature on teacher attrition and present attrition patterns from several states in order to test hypotheses deriving from their theory; (3) review the data available to support improved attrition models and recommend ways to make better use of the data; and (4) identify sampling and data collection strategies that will improve the value of data collected in a future national survey of teachers.

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.
Book Synopsis Teacher Perspectives on Factors that Affect Teacher Attrition and Retention in Rural High Schools which are Located Contiguous to Large Metropolitan Areas by : Christine Ngei
Download or read book Teacher Perspectives on Factors that Affect Teacher Attrition and Retention in Rural High Schools which are Located Contiguous to Large Metropolitan Areas written by Christine Ngei and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retaining quality teachers is a global challenge for schools, particularly those in rural districts. Trapped in a revolving door of teacher hiring and replacement, these schools drain their districts of funds that could be better spent to improve teaching quality and student achievement. These high attrition rates result in inexperienced teachers, high economic costs as teachers must be continually hired and trained, and a lack of continuity that makes institutional development and planning difficult. The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine factors that influence rural high school teachers' intent to leave teaching at their current school and to determine the factors influencing retention in their current rural high school. The study sites were five rural districts located near a big metropolitan city in Southeast Texas. An electronic survey was sent to 260 rural high school teachers in grades 9-12, who were purposively selected. All teachers had a minimum of six months teaching experience. Teacher perceptions were analyzed as possible indicators of teacher attrition in order to improve retention rate. The results from 176 respondents suggest that teacher job satisfaction significantly predicted teacher retention. Further analysis showed that teachers perceived administrator support as the most important factor in determining their decisions to stay followed by school climate and workplace conditions. Analysis based on percentages also indicated several factors that teachers perceived as reasons that caused their colleagues to leave. The top three reasons were better salary, accepting a teaching position in another school, and dissatisfaction with their jobs.

Book Synopsis The Doubters' Dilemma by : Mario Daniel Martín
Download or read book The Doubters' Dilemma written by Mario Daniel Martín and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the extent and causes of attrition and retention in university Language & Culture (L&C) programs through a detailed analysis of an institutional case study at The Australian National University (ANU). Using extensive data collected through student surveys, coupled with data mining of university-wide enrolment data, the authors explore the enrolment and progress of students in all ANU L&C programs. Through their detailed statistical analysis of attrition and retention outcomes, the authors reveal serious inadequacies in the traditional, and common, methodology for determining the extent of student attrition and retention in tertiary L&C programs. Readers are shown why a year-to-year comparison of students who continue or discontinue language studies using traditional statistical methodology cannot provide data that is sufficiently meaningful to allow for sound policy- and decision-making. The authors instead suggest a more valid, replicable methodology that provides a new approach potentially applicable to all disciplines and all student retention measures. The authors also demonstrate that the empirical data supports a new hypothesis for the reasons for attrition, based on students’ relative belief or doubt in their capacity to complete their studies successfully. By highlighting the importance of language capital as a factor in students’ concerns about their capacity for success, and hence in their decisions to stay in, or leave, a university language program, the authors show the importance of the ‘doubters’ dilemma’. By taking a rigorous approach to hypothesis building and testing around enrolment and attrition data, the authors provide valuable insights into attrition issues, and potential retention strategies, in L&C programs, which will be relevant to institutions, policy-makers and teaching academics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This paper will explore the reasons for the high rate of attrition among special educators. It will also address potential alternatives to solving the problem of special educator attrition from the perspective of improving school administrative leadership, especially low-cost or no-cost alternatives and ones over which administrators may be able to exercise influence. Finally, this paper will describe current research efforts underway regarding alternative methods to effectively decrease special educator attrition in Minnesota, as well as recommendations and suggestions for leaders to effectively address special educator attrition which may increase retention of special educators and show positive results for both teachers and special needs students."--Leaf 4.
Book Synopsis How to Recruit and Retain Higher Education Students by : Tony Cook
Download or read book How to Recruit and Retain Higher Education Students written by Tony Cook and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-09-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to Recruit and Retain Higher Education Students is an invaluable resource for academic staff, administrators and policy makers involved in student recruitment and improving student retention. It offers practical advice on how universities can influence the expectations of prospective students, allowing them to make sensible decisions about careers, courses and institutions. Many surveys of students who drop out of university show that most do so out of disappointment. Failing to understand what higher education was about quickly enough, they become confused and frustrated. Dropping out seems the best solution. This book describes a series of practices proven to encourage students to stay on, discussing the background research on student attrition. By preparing students better for their higher education experience, the practices in this book are effective not only in recruiting students but also in matching them to the right institutions and programmes. The practices described range from those reaching out in a broad way to communities of potential students, to university support for pre-entry examinations, to enhanced communication between institutions and applicants. All are described in sufficient detail to allow judgments to be made about how to use and adapt them to suit local needs. How to Recruit and Retain Higher Education Students provides a sound theoretical foundation for research into student retention and provides the necessary underpinning for those academic staff embarking on courses and assists in preparing them for their roles in both teaching and student support.
Book Synopsis Education by : U S Government Accountability Office (G
Download or read book Education written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the course of GAO's review of the student attrition rates at the five Federal service academies (West Point Military Academy, the Naval Academy, the Air Force Academy, the Merchant Marine Academy, and the Coast Guard Academy), the need to ascertain whether the academies are losing students whom they would like to keep and who are potentially good career officers was emphasized. If they were losing many such students, the need to reduce attrition would be more pronounced. If, on the other hand, most dropouts represent a far inferior group, attrition would be correcting for limitations in selection techniques and insuring that only quality students were graduated. To compare the types of students who dropped out with those who remained, GAO obtained data on the characteristics of entering students of the class of 1974 (students who entered in 1970) from the American Council on Education. In addition, the academies furnished high school performance and academic achievement data for this class. This student characteristics database consisted of about 300 individual items or variables. The types of students who came to the academies and dropped out are described and compared with the those who stayed, highlighting significant differences between the groups.

Download or read book Perception and Reality written by Dylan T. Edwards and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate trends of retention in music education by determining how teachers’ perceptions and expectations may affect retention. The following research questions guided this study: What effect do teacher characteristics have on perceptions of support? and What effect do job responsibilities have on perceptions of support? To answer these questions, a unique survey was created and distributed using Qualtrics. Participants were alumni teachers of a mid-Atlantic university (N=83). Three common constructs found in previous research studies were chosen for inclusion on the survey, consisting of administrative support focusing on assistance that administrators provided in a school environment, peer support focusing on assistance provided by colleagues outside of a mentor program, and parent support focusing on parent involvement and assistance in music programs in a school environment. Researchers have found these support systems to be related to both teacher characteristics, such as age and gender, as well as job responsibilities, such as the number of classes taught. Consequently, these constructs became a primary focus for this research. Overall, participants indicated that of the three measured constructs of administrative, peer, and parent support, administrative support was the most important. Additionally, differences were found among genders with females rating administrative support more important and males receiving parent support more often. Itinerant status and degree level obtained were also examined using Mann-Whitney U tests, revealing no differences between participants based on these factors. Comparisons based on participants’ years of experience resulted in a difference in the ratings of peer support with no other differences being discovered. This study reinforces findings of existing research regarding teacher retention in music education while also highlighting focused areas for possible future research studies.

Book Synopsis Attrition from School-based Behavioral Parent Training Programs a Meta-analytic Review by : Dominique Levert
Download or read book Attrition from School-based Behavioral Parent Training Programs a Meta-analytic Review written by Dominique Levert and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, very little is understood regarding the effectiveness of school-based Behavioral Parent Training (BPT) programs or associated attrition rates. The goal of the current study is to examine the effectiveness of school-based BPT programs, associated attrition rates, and possible moderator variables related to attrition. Searches within the databases EBSCOhost were conducted to find BPT programs located at schools as well as the associated attrition rates for each individual study. Mean associated attrition rates were calculated using the software Comprehensive Meta-Analysis. The mean weighted attrition rate across all trials of school-based studies was 42.2%. Significant moderators were also found to increase the risk of attrition in this study. For instance, interventions that were preventative or delivered at a Tier I level, were individually delivered, involved participants from non-disadvantaged backgrounds and targeted behaviors classified as mixed/comorbid. Additionally, the number of sessions and the average age of child/parent moderated the weighted associated attrition rate. Insignificant results were found for program provider and caregiver attending. Comparisons between results from this study and the clinic-based literature are discussed as well as directions for future research.
