Full textAbstract:
Advanced Placement is a series of courses and tests designed to determine mastery over introductory college material. It has become part of the American educational system. The changing conception of AP was examined using critical theory to determine what led to a view of continual success. The study utilized David Armstrong’s variation of Michel Foucault’s critical theory to construct an analytical framework. Black and Ubbes’ data gathering techniques and Braun and Clark’s data analysis were utilized as the analytical framework. Data included 1135 documents: 641 journal articles, 421 newspaper articles and 82 government documents.
The study revealed three historical ruptures correlated to three themes containing subthemes. The first rupture was the Sputnik launch in 1958. Its correlated theme was AP leading to school reform with subthemes of AP as reform for able students and AP’s gaining of acceptance from secondary schools and higher education. The second rupture was the Nation at Risk report published in 1983. Its correlated theme was AP’s shift in emphasis from the exam to the course with the subthemes of AP as a course, a shift in AP’s target population, using AP courses to promote equity, and AP courses modifying curricula. The passage of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 was the third rupture. Its correlated theme was AP as a means to narrow the achievement gap with the subthemes of AP as a college preparatory program and the shifting of AP to an open access program.
The themes revealed a perception that progressively integrated the program into American education. The AP program changed emphasis from tests to curriculum, and is seen as the nation’s premier academic program to promote reform and prepare students for college. It has become a major source of income for the College Board. In effect, AP has become an agent of privatization, spurring other private entities into competition for government funding. The change and growth of the program over the past 57 years resulted in a deep integration into American education. As such the program remains an intrinsic part of the system and continues to evolve within American education.

Schutzman, Carissa Bradley. "Women Into Advanced Manufacturing: Can Community College Open this Door?" UKnowledge, 2019. https://uknowledge.uky.edu/epe_etds/69.
Full textAbstract:
Women still rarely choose to seek employment in advanced manufacturing. Lack of familiarity with manufacturing jobs and education programs, lack of role models, and too few experiential opportunities contribute to women not choosing manufacturing jobs as well as other jobs traditionally held by men (Reha, Lufkin, & Harrison, 2009; St. Rose & Hill, 2013; Starobin & Laanan, 2008). Nontraditional jobs for women often provide higher wages and more opportunity for advancement than traditional jobs for women. This study is a qualitative thematic narrative analysis of factors that influenced women who chose an advanced manufacturing program at a community college to enter employment in a male-dominated career sector.
Intersectionality and agency were the overarching concepts used to examine how working-class women navigated the unfamiliar spaces of higher education and manufacturing. Data were collected through interviews that spanned across several years as the women in the study advanced through the community college and into the manufacturing workplace. The primary research questions included: 1) What motivated the women to begin the program and what were their doubts? 2) How did the women’s experiences in the community college and participation in an advanced manufacturing program influence their education and career choices? And, 3) What might be learned through their stories, particularly their perspectives related to identity and agency?
Women reported their top reason for initially pursuing education and employment in manufacturing was the potential income and employee benefits; however, as the women progressed, they reported additional benefits that included increased confidence at work and at home. The women cited earning a college credential as the most transformative aspect of their journey and attributed unexpected personal growth and self-discovery to their college experience. Additional findings pertained to the value of the college support program, the challenges of exercising agency in a patriarchal environment, and the advantages of women’s ways of working for both the employee and the employer.
The results of this study have financial implications for women, programmatic implications for colleges, workforce development implications for communities, and employee recruitment and retention implications for manufacturers.

This quantitative study examined the impact of Advanced Placement (AP) and Dual Enrollment (DE) on early college academic performance by analyzing and comparing first year and sophomore year persistence rates and grade point averages (GPAs) of four student cohorts who began their education at a large urban research I university in fall 2007. These cohorts of fall 2007 first year and first time college admits comprise students who earned college credits in high school by participation in Credit Based Transition Programs (CBTPs), specifically AP and DE, and students who did not earn college credits during high school. This study has contributed to literature examining the relationship between earning college credits in high school and early college academic performance. CBTPs were created for the benefit of high school students and the K-16 educational system. These programs were specifically created and implemented to introduce students to the rigors of college and ease the academic and social transition from high school to college. Student AP and DE participation increases yearly (The Fifth Annual, 2009; Kleiner & Lewis, 2005) and the first year of college is pivotal in terms of student retention (Astin, 1984; Bailey & Karp, 2003; Bailey, Hughes, & Karp, 2002; Cohen & Brawer, 1996; Coomes & Debard, 2004; Klekotka, 2005; Kuh, 2005; Light, 2001; Pascarella & Terenzini, 2005; Plucker, Chien, & Zaman, 2006; Tinto, 1987). These are the two primary impetuses for studying this phenomenon. This study utilized multiple chi-square, Pearson correlation, multiple regression, oneway ANOVA, and ANCOVA statistical analyses. These analyses provided ample data for answering the research questions. The sample comprised four cohorts of first year, first time college, students entering a large urban research institution in fall 2007. 1) students entering with only Advanced Placement (AP) credits ("AP" cohort), 2) students entering with only Dual Enrollment (DE) credits ("DE" cohort), 3) students entering with both AP and DE credits ("AP and DE" cohort), and 4) students entering with no college credits ("Non AP and/or DE" cohort. Statistical analyses presented results showing no statistically significant difference in early college academic performance amongst the cohorts in the study.

Rosasco, Margaret E. "Factors associated with success in college Calculus II." Scholarly Commons, 2013. https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/uop_etds/19.
Full textAbstract:
Students are entering college having earned credit for college Calculus 1 based on their scores on the College Board's Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus AB exam. Despite being granted credit for college Calculus 1, it is unclear whether these students are adequately prepared for college Calculus 2. College calculus classes are often taught from a more theoretical perspective rather than AP Calculus courses taught in high schools, and many students who enter college mathematics with Calculus 2—who possess AP credit for Calculus 1—have found the theoretical perspective of college Calculus 2 courses to be overwhelming. Consequently, these students have not performed well in Calculus 2. This has led to a belief that students with AP Calculus credit for Calculus 1 do not perform as well in college Calculus 2 in comparison to their peers who earned credit for college Calculus 1. Simultaneously, a contradicting belief exists: Students with AP Calculus credit for college Calculus 1 are the strongest students in college Calculus 2, outperforming their peers. The goal of this quantitative study was to compare the learning outcomes of students in college Calculus 2 of students with and without AP Calculus AB credit for college Calculus 1. In analyzing the data, four distinct entry points into college mathematics on a path to college Calculus 2 were identified: Calculus 2 having earned credit for Calculus 1 by means of the AP Calculus AB, Calculus 1 despite having taken AP Calculus in high school, Calculus 1 having not taken AP Calculus in high school, and Pre-Calculus. Each of these entry points were analyzed to identify measures of success in high school and college which are associated with success in college Calculus 2. The results of this study suggest that students with AP Calculus credit for college Calculus 1 do outperform their peers in Calculus 2. Furthermore, the higher the entry point into college mathematics, the better a student is likely to do in Calculus 2. Measures of success that were found to be positively associated with success in Calculus 2 include high school cumulative grade point average and college Calculus 1 grade. A measure that was found to be negatively associated with Calculus 2 success was the number of times a student repeated Calculus 1 prior to enrolling in Calculus 2.

Dulin, Cassandra. "The pedagogical characteristics of advanced technology education-funded professional development for community college faculty." Scholarly Commons, 2014. https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/uop_etds/62.
Full textAbstract:
The STEM fields are in the process of expanding and requiring highly trained technicians to support this growth. Community colleges are places that offer technician training to students in preparation for high technology jobs. Unfortunately, community colleges are generally underfunded and poorly positioned to offer professional development for discipline-specific skills or pedagogy training. The National Science Foundation and Advanced Technological Education (ATE) have situated themselves to provide support for the STEM fields through their federally funded programs for technician teachers. A component of ATE grants is a focus on faculty development designed to help STEM teachers in community colleges. ATE helps community colleges fill in the gaps in professional development facing instructors in the STEM fields. The purpose of this study was to analyze the pedagogical characteristics of ATE-funded professional development for community college faculty and its intersections with campus-funded professional development. This study used a qualitative, multiple case-study design. Three interviews were conducted at three different ATE sites in California of the center leader, a professional development coordinator, and a participant. The major findings were 1. ATE provides educational and technical training to adults with common traits in backgrounds and goals. 2. The technical professional development at ATE centers is hands-on and interactive and has shown to provide positive learning outcomes to adult learners. 3. ATE centers address the needs of an evolving workforce by conducting research on new or current industry expectations. 4. Partnerships to industry are important to the curriculum and infrastructure of ATE professional development. 5. Evaluation is necessary for the growth of ATE professional development programs. 6. ATE helps build a collaborative community within a technical field by supporting relationships between professional development participants. 7. Each ATE center provides industry educators with resources they can access after a workshop. 8. One out of three ATE center professional development projects in this study intersects with campus-funded professional development. Understanding how these three ATE centers provide professional development can help inform the professional development practices at newly emerging or already established ATE centers across the nation. This study includes recommendations for future research and implications for practice.

Full textAbstract:
Simulation is an effective pedagogy used extensively in prelicensure nursing education. Advanced practice nursing (APN) programs use simulation even though APN accreditation and certification organizations do not allow substitution of simulation hours for the minimum 500 clinical hours. There is a lack of rigorous research supporting the benefits or describing the outcomes of using simulation in APN programs. This presentation will present the results of a descriptive survey on the current use of simulation in APN programs. A descriptive survey was sent to all APN program Directors in the United States and Canada. Data obtained from the survey provide a baseline for current simulation use, as well as data on the use of International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) Standards of Best Practice as an organizing framework for the implementation of simulations in APN programs. Data on the barriers and resources required to support the provision of simulation in APN programs will also be provided. The information obtained will inform the stakeholders in APN education on current use of simulation, general information on adherence to INACSL’s Standards, perceptions of the value of simulation, and barriers and resources to conducting quality simulations in APN education. The results from this study can provide a base to build further rigorous research on how simulation can enhance the education of APN students, improve knowledge transfer, impact behaviors, and improve outcomes. In addition, the outcomes of this study may help educators develop training and support systems that can enhance quality APN simulations.

Gonzalez, Jennifer Dawn. "Advanced Placement English and the College Curriculum: Evaluating and Contextualizing Policy." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2004. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/215.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the context in which Advanced Placement (AP) English policies are made, examining the political and economic realities that impact policy decisions as well as the discipline-based critiques of the AP English program which have led many writing program administrators (WPAs) and faculty to question existing credit and placement policies. Recent efforts to dramatically expand the AP program have left many questioning whether the AP English experience actually fulfills the promises suggested by the program. After reviewing current literature relating to AP English, this thesis examines the findings of an empirical study conducted at BYU. The study evaluates the outcomes of AP English based on student writing in an actual college setting, focusing on the predictive validity of AP exam scores. Conclusions are drawn from the findings of the study and the review of literature. Recommendations are made for evaluating and designing AP policies that respond sensitively and fairly to all the stakeholders while encouraging WPAs and interested faculty to actively define the role of AP English within the college curriculum.

Educational AdministrationEd.D.
This quantitative study examined the impact that Advanced Placement (AP) coursework had on students attending college with specific emphasis on those who failed the exam. The study comprised four years of entering freshmen students between the academic years 2006-2009. The study was comprehensive in that it revealed all AP attempts regardless of score and student's desire to submit results to Temple University and the universities' acceptance of the same for college credit. For consistency, college success was determined based on data in the first two academic years of study. Students' grade point average (GPA) and retention were analyzed as the two primary assessments defining college access. The sample consisted of 16,731 students over four years of entering first-time freshmen to Temple University. The results indicated that AP score had a significant effect on both GPA and retention, although the effects for GPA were much stronger than for retention. Essentially, the results showed that the GPA of students decreases linearly from those who obtained an average AP score of "5", through "4", "3" and "2". Students whose average AP score was "1", however, performed at a lower level than students who had taken no AP course at all. Moreover, when various pre-college factors (specifically, SAT scores, high school GPA, mothers' and fathers' educational level and family income) were used as covariates, the effect for AP performance was markedly reduced. As such, it became evident that the real issue in evaluating the impact of AP performance is not whether students who take and pass AP courses do better in college. The real issue is whether AP performance provides an advantage over and above the advantages that students already possess. This study also revealed a threshold at which AP exposure correlated to college success when studying the AP failures with a score of `1'. The study findings contribute to emerging literature examining the relationship that AP failures have on students and colleges.

Full textAbstract:
Advanced Placement and dual credit programs are designed for high school students and are used to earn college credit and possibly gain college admissions advantages. The present research examined the impact of participation in one or both programs on four-year college graduation rates. Findings indicated significant differences between the programs as well as with students who did not participate in either program. Students in AP achieved the highest four-year graduation rate, followed by students in dual credit, both programs, and neither program. These findings indicate the need for further study to determine whether the programs substantially contribute to four-year graduation rates and what the implications are.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate the relationship between the Advanced Placement Calculus AB exam and student achievement in college level Math 1710-Calculus I. The review of literature shows that this possible relationship is based on Alexander Astin's longitudinal input-environment-outcome (I-E-O) model. The I-E-O model was used to analyze the relationship between the input and outcome of the two variables. In addition, this quantitative study determined the relationship between a score of 3 or lower on the Advanced Placement Calculus AB exam and student achievement in college level Math 1710-Calculus I. The sample population of this study contained 91 students from various high schools in Texas. Spearman's rank correlation revealed there was a statistically significant relationship between Advanced Placement Calculus AB exam scores and final grades in Math 1710-Calculus I.

In the 1990s, dedicated education units transformed undergraduate preceptorships, but graduate preceptorships remain static. The dyadic nurse practitioner preceptorship model supports an environment where faculty, students, and preceptors may overlook nuances that affect the teaching-learning process. This article describes an innovative clinical education model, Student and Preceptor Advancement in a Dedicated Education Site, designed to improve preceptorships for advanced practice nurses. The focus is on adaptations made to facilitate use in advanced practice nursing programs.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to compare the relationship between the mathematics portion of the EXPLORE test with students successes in advanced and Advanced Placement(AP) mathematics courses in high school. The data was collected from a rural Tennessee school system consisting of five years of data among graduated seniors. Analysis was completed to determine the difference between the two county high schools in advanced coursework. The findings of this study concluded a positive correlation between EXPLORE scores and the frequency of students who took advanced mathematics courses. Positive correlation between EXPLORE scores and student successes in advanced courses was also concluded. Two-sample t-test showed the school with the less frequency had a higher mean of successes in advanced mathematics. This school system consistently scored above the national average in the mathematics portion of the EXPLORE test. Ultimately, standardized test results can prove to be a means for guiding students toward challenging mathematics courses.

Class of 2010 AbstractOBJECTIVES: To determine what information and clinical skill sets current student pharmacists, recent graduates, and current preceptors felt should be incorporated in designing the Advanced Patient Care course at The University of Arizona College of Pharmacy (UACOP). METHODS: This was a prospective, descriptive study using focus groups. Subjects included students in the fourth year of a four-year Doctor of Pharmacy program at the UACOP currently on rotations, recent UACOP graduates practicing in residency programs, and current preceptors for the UACOP who work closely with the students. Participants verbally consented and completed a demographic questionnaire. The three focus group sessions (each lasting 1.5 hours) were audiotaped, and the data was coded into categories and subcategories based on frequencies of topics that were discussed. RESULTS: A total of 14 subjects, separated into three focus groups of students, residents, and preceptors were held with 5, 4, and 5 subjects respectively. Both men and women were included in the study, with only females in the resident group. The student, resident, and preceptor groups had mean ages of 29±5.4, 28±3.7, and 47±12 years respectively. Overall the most commonly discussed topics included various learning techniques, specific drug or disease state focuses, and the importance of professionalism. CONCLUSIONS: Many insightful ideas for the Advanced Patient Care course soon to be implemented at the UACOP were generated by the three focus groups. Focus groups including pharmacy students, residents and preceptors are a useful tool for designing new courses and determining information and skill sets to be added to college of pharmacy curriculums.

Full textAbstract:
Student engagement is a multifaceted construct gaining increased interest within the fields of psychology and education. Current literature suggests that student engagement is linked to important student outcomes including academic achievement, psychopathology, and mental wellness; however, there is a dearth of studies that have examined all components of student engagement simultaneously as they relate to the aforementioned outcomes. Additionally, past literature has found support for a decreasing trend in student engagement across the school years, but less attention has been paid to student engagement in the high school years. Among high school students, a particular subgroup has been virtually ignored: high-achieving students enrolled in college-level curricula such as International Baccalaureate (IB) and Advanced Placement (AP). Research questions answered in the current study pertain to: (a) differences in the components of student engagement among IB and AP students, (b) differences in the components of student engagement of IB and AP students across grade level, (c) the extent to which student engagement relates to academic achievement, and (d) the extent to which student engagement relates to mental health. To answer these questions, self-report surveys and school records data from 727 IB and AP high school students were analyzed. Several main effects for program type and grade level were found among the various dimensions of engagement, as well as two interactions between program type and grade level. Regarding predictive relationships, results indicate that the linear combination of all seven indicators of student engagement accounted for 19.56% of the variance in students' academic achievement, 17.47% of the variance in students' life satisfaction, and 6.17% of the variance in students' anxiety. Implications for school psychologists and future directions are discussed.

The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine if undergraduate students perceived that their college readiness was impacted by participation in Advanced Placement courses, dual-enrollment courses, or both. Perceptual data were gathered from freshmen and sophomores enrolled at East Tennessee State University using an online survey. The number of participants in this study was 265. Perceptions of the individual program components of both Advanced Placement and dual-enrollment courses were also assessed in relation to college readiness. The results of the study indicated that undergraduate students perceive instructor quality and course rigor of both AP and dual-enrollment as beneficial to their success in college. Participants also indicated that the college readiness skills acquired through program participation were beneficial to their college success to a significant extent in the areas of writing, time management, note-taking, study skills, independent learning, and reading complex text. When comparing results related to AP and dual-enrollment, participants assigned similar ratings to the college readiness skills assessed in all areas except independent learning. Participant responses indicated that they perceived dual-enrollment as more beneficial than AP in the area of independent learning. In response to an open-ended survey item, participants also reported that dual-enrollment courses were more beneficial than AP courses especially in regard to the transfer of course credit and instructor quality.

Full textAbstract:
In 1983 a programme was initiated by the School of Education, Canberra College of Advanced Education (CCAE) and the Australian Schools Commission
to enable parents to assist their own children in literacy. The children had
previously been identified as experiencing difficulties in acquiring the
skills of literacy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of
the parents' intervention on the children's achievements in literacy, and to
assess the quality of the programme by examining particular subskills taught
in the course. The methods of assessment were also evaluated for their
appropriateness for the circumstances.
The thirty nine children in the study were the sample of fifty two children
for whom there was complete information. Parents of these children began
the programme in July 1985 or in March 1986. They attended a course of ten
sessions over thirteen weeks in a semester. The following semester they
were allocated to a teacher who was a post graduate or fourth year degree
student in education, and given individual assistance from six to ten
sessions, and longer if necessary.
Aspects of oral reading, comprehension, writing and spelling were tested at
the beginning of the programme and again in November 1986, and the results
compared. Observational records were also kept and changes evaluated. In
addition, oral reading was measured at the end of the parents' course, and
before individual assistance commenced. Case studies were built up for
every child, and the findings grouped to observe the effect of the
intervention on the population.
The results showed that the programme achieved its aim of giving parents the
skills to assist; their own children in the acquisition of literacy. The
content of the course and the subskills taught were also justified by the
outcomes. Furthermore, the method of evaluation revealed specific and
succinct information on which to base the intervention and to monitor
progress.
The research took place over 18 months, during which time teaching and
progress were continual. A longitudinal study over several years would
confirm the results of the research.

University of Canberra. Library and Information Studies, 1990. http://erl.canberra.edu.au./public/adt-AUC20050629.141005.
Full textAbstract:
This study was designed to ascertain, analyse and compare the perceptions of College
Librarians and their associates about the role responsibility which College Librarians in
libraries in New South Wales Colleges of Advanced Education (CAEs) were actually
assuming and ideally should be assuming as part of their role as library managers.
Using as its basis a theoretical framework of role and role-related concepts, as developed
by social psychologists such as Kahn et al. (1964), a role set group of Principals,
Registrars and Senior Library Staff was identified as the survey population.
A review of the literature about CAEs and their libraries and overseas studies about the
role of library managers assisted with the development of a role responsibility
questionnaire.
Data from the questionnaire was analysed in respect of actual and ideal role responsibility
and any gaps between actual and ideal role responsibility. Gaps between perceptions of
actual and ideal role responsibility between College Librarians and associates may
indicate a potential for role conflict for persons enacting the role of College Librarian.
This study found statistically significant results in respect of both actual and ideal role
responsibility between College Librarians and Senior Library Staff, which indicated that
there was not clear agreement between the two groups about either the role responsibility
currently assumed by College Librarians and that which ideally should be assumed. In
respect of the gap between actual and ideal role responsibility, however, there was no
statistically significant result between College Librarians and associates, indicating that
the potential for role conflict resulting from divergent perceptions between role set groups
was not evident. This does not preclude the potential for role conflict from other sources.

Full textAbstract:
The present study attempted to answer two questions: do academic library users have a distinctive and useful input
to make to library strategic planning? If they do, what mechanisms will permit them to participate effectively in this
planning process?
To address these questions research was carried out in two stages at a single institutional site, the Canberra College
of Advanced Education. The first of these utilised a structured group discussion process, Nominal Group Technique
(NGT). This was used both as an indicator of user planning priorities and as a pilot research technique contributing to
the design of a subsequent survey. This survey obtained a response rate of over 90 percent from a sample of 379.
The study attempted to establish that academic staff and students do have a worthwhile input to make to planning by
testing for congruence between the rankings of library planning priorities of these user groups and the rankings of
planning priorities of Library staff. No strong positive correlations were established between the priorities of student
groups and Library staff, although in the survey the priorities of academic staff and Library staff were found to be
related. These results suggest users do have a worthwhile input to make to library strategic planning. Other tests for
congruence were also applied between and within respondent groups, because if a group was found to have different
priorities there would be a prima facie case for consulting members of that group as part of the planning process.
Both mechanisms used in the present study were considered successful. User surveys have been employed for
planning in previous studies with a future-oriented component. However, it appears that this may have been the first
formally reported application of NGT to library management. Experience in the present study suggests it is a highly
suitable technique for situations such as strategic planning, where generation of ideas or comment on priorities is
required.
However, an attempt to establish congruence between the results obtained using NGT and those obtained from the
survey yielded inconclusive results. It is believed that major changes in the institutional environment were principally
responsible for this, although a methodological limitation may also have contributed.
The study concludes with suggestions for further research.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Graduate nursing academic faculty rely heavily on clinical preceptors for mentorship and clinical practicum experiences for BSN-DNP degree-seeking family nurse practitioner (FNP) students. Thus, it is important that preceptors have documented clinical competencies to assure the delivery of quality, evidence-based practice that meets regulatory requirements prior to precepting students.Objectives: The objectives of this quality improvement project were to develop and implement APRN competency validation tools (CVTs) in nurse-led clinic settings.Methods: Rapid Cycle Quality Improvement (RCQI) strategies were used to develop and implement APRN CVTs.Results: Three APRN CVTs were successfully developed, tested, refined, and implemented in four nurse-led clinics in rural east Tennessee. With one exception, the APRN preceptors had documentation of clinical competency prior to approval as a SPADES preceptor. Graduate academic faculty, preceptors, and students reported satisfaction with the SPADES project.Conclusion: CVTs are feasible tools for documentation of validated clinical APRN preceptors’ competency in nurse-led clinics. The CVTs and the medical record review checklist are available upon request from the primary author.Implications for Nursing: Use of APRN CVTs provides documentation that the preceptor uses evidence-based practice in the clinic setting prior to precepting students.

Full textAbstract:
This investigation was a post-hoc, quantitative analysis of secondary academic performance and participation choices of Hispanic students. Three years of longitudinal student-level data was collected to examine the likelihood of college enrollment based on college and career readiness (CCR) factors. At the time of the study, CCR was defined as qualifying exam scores, credit for at least two advanced/dual enrollment courses, or enrollment in a career and technology education (CTE) coherent sequence of courses. Research participants (N = 803) consisted solely of Hispanic high school graduates from the 2014 cohort. Frequency statistics indicate 45.5% (n = 365) attended an institute of higher education (IHE) within 2 years of high school graduation. Findings reveal Hispanic females were more likely than Hispanic males to meet CCR indicators as well as postsecondary resiliency outcomes. Analysis of chi-square tests of independence suggests a moderately strong association exists between CCR indicators and postsecondary participation among high school graduates. Differences were found in terms of gender and postsecondary enrollment, x^2(6) = 24.538, p < .001. Differences were also found in terms of type of IHE and postsecondary resiliency, x^2(3) = 34.373, p < .001. More Hispanic CCR graduates enrolled at 2-year and 4-year IHE than expected by chance. While non-CCR graduates enrolled in IHE, they were less likely to meet postsecondary resiliency outcomes. CCR graduates who initially enrolled at 2-year IHE were also less likely to persist. Furthermore, the greatest contribution to differences in resiliency existed for Hispanic CCR graduates who enroll at 4-year IHE.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship among self-concept, racial identity development, and perceptions of the graduate and professional educational experience of African American female college students planning to pursue advanced degrees. The researcher explored the relationship among the factors to determine if they were predictive of the pursuit of advanced degrees among African American female college students. The investigation would provide counselors, educators, and administrators with information which could positively impact the enrollment and retention of African American women in advanced degree programs.;A sample of 85 graduating African American female college seniors at a very selective, private, historically Black institution was studied. The institution selected has historically produced a high number of African American female students who pursued advanced degrees upon graduation. Data were gathered utilizing the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale, the BRIAS Social Attitude Scale-Revised, a researcher developed Graduate and Professional School Perception Survey and a demographic questionnaire. The student's plans of pursuit were assessed using five items from the demographic questionnaire (acceptance, attendance, entrance exam, cumulative grade point average, enrollment).;It was hypothesized that (1) a significant relationship existed between self-concept and plans to pursue advanced degrees, (2) a significant relationship existed between racial identity development and plans to pursue advanced degrees, (3) a significant relationship existed between perception of the graduate and professional educational experience and plans to pursue advanced degrees, (4) a significant difference existed between advanced degree program pursued and the three independent variables, and (5) a significant difference existed between definite and tentative plans to pursue groups and the three independent variables.;In general, the results revealed four significant relationships and no significant evidence of discrimination. Significant relationships existed for self-concept (social self-concept) and cumulative grade point average; two measures of racial identity development (pre-encounter and encounter), pre-encounter and acceptance and encounter and enrollment; and the perception of the graduate and professional educational experience and acceptance.;Additional investigations that focus on the complexities of the independent variables with a more diversified sample of African American women may reveal significant findings relating to self-concept, racial identity development, and perceptions of graduate and professional schools.

Full textAbstract:
The main purpose of the study was to investigate the library needs
and library usage of external students in remote areas. The study emphasised
external students' perception of their own library needs. Four distinct areas
of research evolved from the purpose of the study: to identify the library
service needs of external students; to identify library use by external
students; to identify external students' perceptions of library needs; and to
identify student status in relation to library use.
Information was collected by an interview with former external
students, a questionnaire to the libraries involved in the study and by
Nominal Group Technique (NGT) sessions with external students. The
primary instrument was a questionnaire to the external students in the
population under investigation requesting information of their library
usage and needs.
The population under investigation were external students enrolledin the South Australian College of Advanced Education (SACAE) and
resident in Whyalla, South Australia. It was decided to survey the total
population rather than a sample because of the small numbers involved.
Thirty-five responses were received out of a population of 52, representing a
response rate of 69 percent.
The results of the survey were analysed using a Statview SE statistical
package and a spreadsheet and graphics package, Excel. Frequency
distributions were computed to determine the number of respondents who
selected each option.
The study found that the external students who used libraries tended
to use a variety of libraries. Students used not only their own institution's
library, but the a range of libraries accessible to them in Whyalla.
The study concludes by identifying issues, recommending possible
solutions, and identifying areas for further research.

Full textAbstract:
The intent of this study was to identify the features of local dual credit programs that promote high achievement and sustained enrollment. Ancillary outcomes of the study were to identify strengths and weaknesses of the programs as well as develop recommendations for the development and implementation of future dual credit programs in the area. The dual credit programs studied were offered by two secondary schools in conjunction with the local community and technical college. Information regarding the programs was collected via interviews from individuals at the secondary and postsecondary level who had substantial knowledge of the programs.
Overriding themes that emerged as a result of this study were the need to designate a single dual credit coordinator at both the college and the high schools to improve communication, the desire to increase participation in the existing programs while expanding the program to area schools that do not already participate in dual credit, and the need to maintain the quality and academic rigor of the courses.

Thesis, University of Strathclyde, 1994. http://oleg.lib.strath.ac.uk:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=21321.
Full textAbstract:
For a long time writing as a language skill has been neglected in the curriculum of the English Department, College of Education, Sana'a University. One can see the effect of this negligence in the students' poor writing performance, most worryingly when they are on the verge of their B. A. graduation. On several occasions I have noticed that 4th Year B. A. English Specialists are confronted by obstacles whenever they are asked to write a piece of composition. Upon reading the students' written performance one will find it a hard task to retrieve the precise intended meaning. This practical problem leads to the purpose of this study, which is to investigate, cohesion and coherence properties and the problems associated with them in the writings of non-native advanced speakers of English. The study is a detailed examination of both controlled and free open-ended writing tasks of 37 students in their final 4th Year B. A., English course, the English Department, College of Educati on, Sana'a University. The current study depends on the works of M. A. K. Halliday and R. Hasan (1976) when it comes to investigate the internal cohesive problems in the subjects' performance. The study also relies on Michael Hoey's work On the Surface of Discourse (1983) to examine. the cohering aspects in the subjects' written performance. I have made particular use of Hoey's Problem/Solution structural scheme. I feel that this schematic structure can be easily applied by non-native writers of this background in their writing process. In addition, a number of text types that the subjects chose to write fit into such a scheme. The study is divided into two main parts. Part one extending from chapter one to five provides a theoretical background for the study. In the second part extending from chapters six to nine I provide a detailed analysis and investigation of a number of controlled and authentic writing tasks. In the last chapter I present a general conclusion for the researh and some recommendations for improving the writing standards of our students. The findings reveal that in the area of cohesion, non-native writers of this background do not face severe problems in the internal cohesive world of the text either in controlled or free open-ended writing tasks. Nevertheless, in dealing with writing as an authentic process, the subjects can be confronted by some minor hindrances that might emerge at certain intervals; these do not form major obstacles that might lead towards a total barrier between the writer and the reader, and meaning is retrievable on all occasions. However, the findings also reveal that the subjects confronted problems in the area of coherence as a global organisation of a given text. This has been observed in both controlled and free open-ended writing tasks. Sentences and their sequence organisation seem to have caused considerable problems for a substantial number of the subjects. In addition, features associated with the process of coherence, such as Field, general knowledge, experience and logic, have in one way or another contributed to a certain extent in adding to the above weakness. The study has also embarked on finding ways and means of minimising such problems towards their gradual elimination. This was tested by conducting a number of workshops involving open-ended free writing tasks. The results obtained reveal that workshops and the collective work in the classroom do contribute a great deal in improving and enhancing the writing process.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research was to discover the extent
to which practising registered nurses in the ACT
undertake physical assessment. It was also organized to
discover the perceived reasons why, in appropriate
instances, it was not undertaken and the extent to which
certain variables may have influenced its practice or
non-practice. It was directed also at discovering the
extent to which the practising registered nurse would be
prepared to undertake workshops on the subject, so that,
if appropriate, a core of registered nurses could be
provided to act as the role-models and to create the
necessary learning environment in the ACT hospitals and
agencies where most of the Canberra College's graduates
would find employment.
Since the first undergraduate course in nursing was
introduced in the tertiary sector, nurse academics have
placed significant emphasis on the teaching of the
nursing process. It is within the first phase of this
process, the assessment phase, that the physical
assessment of the patient/client is conducted.
Discussions with practising registered nurses and
observations, led to some uncertainty as to the extent
to which physical assessment was actually being used. A
review of the literature showed that no investigation of
the matter had been reported in the Australian
literature. It was, therefore, proposed to make good
this deficiency and to resolve any uncertainty about the
extent of use of physical assessment in the ACT.
This study was restricted to registered nurses in the
ACT where all beginning nurses are educated at the CCAE
with a curriculum which includes a comprehensive study
of physical assessment. Even so, it is recognized that
such studies will only reach a beginning level of
competency. In order to ensure that the graduates of
these courses extend their competency in physical
assessment they need to be able to use these skills in
every day nursing practice.
This research, therefore, was conducted using a
questionnaire which incorporated questions about the use
of 36 physical assessment skills. The survey, on a onetime
participation basis, was conducted for all
registered nurses rostered on a fortnightly period in
April 1987. A 66.7% response rate was achieved.
The responses were analyzed and the findings, results
and recommendations are included in the appropriate
sections of this thesis.

Full textAbstract:
As efforts to provide seamless transitions from high school to college grow, so do the numbers of high school students who concurrently enroll in college courses across the country. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of various aspects of the concurrent enrollment program at Collin County Community College District in Texas. Six research questions were designed to address student success and continuing enrollment patterns after high school graduation, as well as evaluate differences in the various models of dual credit classes offered by the college. Literature related to concurrent enrollment and dual credit programs, senior year of high school, and part-time faculty effectiveness was reviewed. Student issues addressed include: grade performance of concurrent enrollment students compared to the general college population; the percentage of concurrent enrollment students who continue at the college after high school graduation; and a comparison of continuing concurrent enrollment students with a matched sample (based on high school class rank), on the student success factors of fall-to-spring retention rates, fall-to-fall retention rates, grade point averages, and completion rates. Findings were generally positive related to the impact of concurrent enrollment on students and their subsequent success at the college. Various models of offering concurrent enrollment courses were also evaluated as measured by student performance in subsequent courses. Analysis of variance was used to determine differences based on the location at which the courses were taught (high school, college campus, or a college center); differences based on the mix of students in the class (all from one high school; all high school representing several schools; or a mix of high school and college students); and differences based on the employment status of the instructor (full-time college instructor; part-time college instructor; or high school teacher). Differences were examined for the entire sample, and for the academic disciplines of economics, English, and government.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the history of Commonwealth Government higher education policy in Australia between 1958 and 1997 and its impact on the development of two groups of academic librarians: the Association of Librarians in Colleges in Advanced Education (ALCAE) and the Committee of Australian University Librarians (CAUL). Although university librarians had met occasionally since the late 1920s, it was only in 1965 that a more formal organisation, known as CAUL, was established to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information. ALCAE was set up in 1969 and played an important role helping develop a special concept of library service peculiar to the newly formed College of Advanced Education (CAE) sector. As well as examining the impact of Commonwealth Government higher education policy on ALCAE and CAUL, the thesis also explores the influence of other factors on these two groups, including the range of personalities that comprised them, and their relationship with their parent institutions and with other professional groups and organisations. The study focuses on how higher education policy and these other external and internal factors shaped the functions, aspirations, and internal dynamics of these two groups and how this resulted in each group evolving differently. The author argues that, because of the greater attention given to the special educational role of libraries in the CAE curriculum, the group of college librarians had the opportunity to participate in, and have some influence on, Commonwealth Government statutory bodies responsible for the coordination of policy and the distribution of funding for the CAE sector. The link between ALCAE and formal policy-making processes resulted in a more dynamic group than CAUL, with the university librarians being discouraged by their Vice-Chancellors from having contact with university funding bodies because of the desire of the universities to maintain a greater level of control over their affairs and resist interference from government. The circumstances of each group underwent a reversal over time as ALCAE's effectiveness began to diminish as a result of changes to the CAE sector and as member interest was transferred to other groups and organisations. Conversely, CAUL gradually became a more active group during the 1980s and early 1990s as a result of changes to higher education, the efforts of some university librarians, and changes in membership. This study is based principally on primary source material, with the story of ALCAE and CAUL being told through the use of a combination of original documentation (including minutes of meetings and correspondence) and interviews with members of each group and other key figures.

Full textAbstract:
This applied dissertation explored dual enrollment viability when compared to other acceleration mechanisms: (a) advanced placement, (b) advanced international certificate of education, (c) international baccalaureate, and (d) college-level examination program. This multicase, qualitative study explored the competitiveness of dual enrollment versus other acceleration mechanism using Porter’s model and the strengthsweaknessesopportunities- threats analysis as the theoretical frameworks. The study used one-on-one interviews to gather primary comparative information. Five groups were interviewed: (a) the vendors of the acceleration mechanisms, (b) state education officials, (c) district personnel, (d) high school representatives, and (e) higher education representatives. The acceleration mechanisms’ educational objectives, their positioning, and any acceleration mechanisms’ benefits to the various stakeholders were examined. Dual enrollment was compared to the other acceleration mechanisms to develop recommendations for improving the competitive positioning and viability of dual enrollment in Florida.
The study found that acceleration-mechanism options were complex and dynamic programs that were highly influenced by government policies and funding. Educational entities viewed the value of acceleration mechanisms differently, especially dual enrollment. All groups agreed that acceleration mechanisms provided rigorous curriculum for high school students to prepare for college. However, educational entities first wanted to protect their own interests and funding. In terms of dual enrollment, financial considerations remained a substantial motivation for the program. The study showed that all acceleration mechanisms offered benefits to participating students. However, the multifaceted and ever-changing nature of acceleration mechanisms provided no clear advantages or benefits for dual enrollment versus other acceleration mechanisms. Several recommendations are made that addressed concerns about the longterm value of dual enrollment for Florida institutions and students.

O presente texto, desenvolvido no âmbito do Mestrado Profissional em Gestão e Avaliação da Educação Pública (PPGP) do Centro de Políticas Públicas e Avaliação da Educação da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (CAEd/UFJF), compreende um caso de gestão que analisa o setor de cultura do campus avançado de Governador Valadares da UFJF (UFJF-GV), implantado em 2012, por meio do Programa de Apoio a Planos de Reestruturação e Expansão das Universidades Federais (Reuni). A partir das observações no cotidiano profissional, com o trabalho de produção cultural dentro do setor de Comunicação, Cultura e Eventos (CCE), foi possível identificar problemas que dificultam o planejamento e a efetivação de ações de cunho artístico-cultural no campus. A dificuldade encontrada na UFJF-GV apresenta-se como algo comum às instituições públicas de educação superior, limitando o papel das universidades de garantirem que seus estudantes tenham acesso à produção e à apreciação de ações de cunho cultural, estando assim na contramão de um projeto de país que visa o desenvolvimento integral dos cidadãos. O objetivo geral deste trabalho foi analisar as principais barreiras no desenvolvimento de projetos e ações de cultura na UFJF-GV. Os objetivos específicos foram apresentados como: (I) descrever os fatores que dificultam o desenvolvimento das atividades culturais na UFJF-GV; (II) analisar a perspectiva dos gestores da Pró-Reitoria de Cultura da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF) e da Diretoria Geral do campus avançado sobre a gestão cultural no campus de Governador Valadares, bem como as demandas da comunidade acadêmica no campo cultural e (III) propor um Plano de Ação Educacional (PAE) coerente com a realidade do campus avançado e que possibilite o desenvolvimento de atividades culturais de forma bem sucedida. Para isso, foi aplicado um questionário sociocultural junto aos estudantes da UFJF-GV. Por meio da aplicação do instrumento, identificamos a carência de formação no campo artístico-cultural dos discentes, bem como uma demanda relevante para a prática de ações de cunho cultural, tendo em vista que a atual formação acadêmica tem se limitado às questões tecnicistas. Também foram realizadas entrevistas com os gestores da UFJF-GV e da Pró-Reitoria de Cultura da UFJF. Entre as principais questões identificadas pelas entrevistas está a indefinição da responsabilidade pela gestão do trabalho cultural no campus avançado, bem como o déficit de recursos e de servidores atuando na área. A partir desses diagnósticos, o Plano de Ação Educacional propõe a realização de sete ações que visam, entre outras coisas, minimizar os impactos da formação tecnicista imposta às universidades públicas, bem como a criação de um planejamento que defina responsabilidades e ações a serem executadas pela área cultural do campus avançado. De um modo geral, o plano busca intervir nas lacunas identificadas com a pesquisa e com as entrevistas, contribuindo para que a UFJFGV cumpra a sua missão como instituição de ensino e espaço de promoção à diversidade e à cultura, cooperando, assim, para o desenvolvimento regional.
The present text, developed in the scope of the Professional Master in Management and Evaluation of Public Education (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policies and Education Evaluation of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd / UFJF), comprises a management case that analyzes the (UFJF-GV), implemented in 2012 through the Support Program for Restructuring and Expansion of Federal Universities (Reuni). From the observations in the professional daily life, with the work of cultural production within the sector of Communication, Culture and Events (CCE), it was possible to identify problems that make difficult the planning and the accomplishment of actions of an artistic and cultural nature in the campus. The difficulty found in the UFJF-GV is something common to public institutions of higher education, limiting the role of universities to ensure that their students have access to the production and appreciation of cultural actions, thus being against a project country that aims at the integral development of citizens. The general objective of this work was to analyze the main barriers in the development of projects and actions of culture in the UFJFGV. The specific objectives were presented as: to describe the factors that hinder the development of cultural activities in the UFJF-GV; to analyze the perspective of the managers of the UFJF's Pro-Rectory of Culture, the General Directorate and the UFJF-GV students on cultural management at the Governador Valadares campus; and propose a plan of intervention consistent with the reality of the advanced campus and that enables the development of cultural activities in a successful way. For this, a sociocultural questionnaire was applied to the students of UFJF-GV, which identified the lack of training in the cultural artistic field of the students, as well as a relevant demand for the practice of cultural actions, considering that the current formation has been limited to technical issues. Interviews were also conducted with the managers of UFJF-GV and the UFJF's Department of Culture. Among the main issues identified by the interviews are the lack of definition of the responsibility for the management of cultural work in the advanced campus, as well as the deficit of resources and servers working in the area. Based on these diagnoses, the Educational Action Plan proposes to carry out seven actions that aim, among other things, to minimize the impacts of technical training imposed on public universities, as well as the creation of a plan that defines responsibilities and actions to be carried out by the advanced campus cultural area. In general, the plan seeks to intervene the gaps identified with the research and interviews, contributing to the UFJF-GV fulfilling its mission as an educational institution and space for the promotion of diversity and culture, thus cooperating for development regional level.

Trabalho Final de Mestrado Integrado, Ciências Farmacêuticas, Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Farmácia, 2016Objective: To understand graduates’ perceptions about an advanced education programme for pharmacist practitioners (the MSc in Advanced Pharmacy Practice - APP fast-track) and to identify how the acquired skills and knowledge from this programme have been used at their workplaces. Methods: A purposive sample was chosen and potential participants were contacted by email. The inclusion criteria was pharmacists of any background graduated from the MScPP (APP fast-track). A semi-structured interview was conducted and interviews (n=15) were later manually transcribed. The transcriptions were imported into the software QSR NVivo 11® and a matrix coding approach was used for data analysis. Results: Participants’ representations concerned motivation, value and challenges of the programme, as well as impact at the workplace and arisen opportunities. Data reveals similar levels of impact from graduates with different years of practice. Almost all participants applied for membership of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society Faculty (n=11) which appears to be related with continuing professional development, by keeping up-to-date in the pharmacy profession. Concerning the different professional roles before enrolling on the MScPP, 14 graduates were clinical pharmacists and one worked in academia. Despite that, positive impact was registered in both professional role groups. The MScPP quality was frequently pointed as main reason for valuing the programme and the most quoted challenge was time as this is 12-month part-time taught postgraduate programme. Conclusion: This study concluded that the MScPP has definitely impact positively on short-term career progression and has adapted to different specialisations, bringing added benefits to different practitioners. Therefore, the MScPP appears to be fulfilling its objective to progress advanced practice. The idea of duplicating the MScPP more locally, so it would be accessible to more pharmacists in the United Kingdom, should be considered.
Objectivo: Compreender as perceções dos graduados de um programa de pós-graduação para farmacêuticos (MSc in Advanced Pharmacy Practice – APP fast-track) sobre este programa de estudos e identificar como é que as competências e o conhecimento adquiridos neste programa têm sido usados nos seus locais de trabalho. Métodos: Foi escolhida uma amostra intencional e os participantes potenciais foram contactados por email. O critério de inclusão usado foi farmacêuticos de qualquer especialização que se tivessem graduado do MScPP (APP fast-track). Foi conduzida uma entrevista semi-estruturada e as entrevistas obtidas (n=15) foram posteriormente transcritas manualmente. As transcrições foram importadas para o software QSR NVivo 11® e a análise de dados foi feita através de codificação de matrizes. Resultados: As representações obtidas dos participantes envolveram motivação, valor e desafios do programa, mas também impacto no trabalho e oportunidades que tenham surgido. Os dados revelam níveis de impacto semelhantes para graduados com diferentes anos de prática profissional. Quase todos os participantes concorreram à Faculdade da Royal Pharmaceutical Society (N=11) o que parece estar relacionado com a continuação do desenvolvimento profissional, através da atualização na profissão farmacêutica. Relativamente às diferentes especializações antes de entrar no Mestrado, 14 graduados trabalhavam em Farmácia Hospitalar e 1 desempenhava um papel académico. Apesar dos diferentes papéis, foi registado um impacto positivo em ambos os grupos profissionais. A qualidade do Mestrado foi frequentemente considerada a maior razão de valorização deste programa e o desafio mais citado foi o tempo, já que este é um programa de pós-graduação part-time de 12 meses. Conclusão: Este estudo concluiu que o Mestrado apresenta impacto positivo na progressão da carreira farmacêutica a curto prazo e adapta-se a diferentes especializações, trazendo benefícios a diferentes profissionais. Assim sendo, este Mestrado parece estar a cumprir o seu objetivo de potenciar a prática dos farmacêuticos com competências mais especializadas. A ideia de replicar este programa mais localmente, para que fosse acessível a mais farmacêuticos no Reino Unido, deve ser considerada.

Research on the Advanced Placement (AP) program
generally shows that students scoring 4s and 5s on AP exams outperform their
non-AP peers in subsequent college courses. However, faculty often advise
students with AP credit to repeat prerequisite courses in college before
attempting advanced coursework, and there are few studies that provide
empirical evidence about outcomes related to the use of AP credit. I compared grades
of 26,843 students in 34 STEM courses using two-level cross-sectional
multilevel modeling and found that students with AP credit in biology,
calculus, chemistry, or physics significantly outperformed non-AP students
after controlling for high school GPA and SAT Math scores, whether they used
their AP credit to fulfill course pre-requisites or not. Additionally, I
investigated outcomes of 10,152 students who had earned AP credit for course
pre-requisites, depending on whether or not they chose to use their AP credit
or repeat it at the college level prior to taking subsequent courses. I found
that contextual factors, such as the specific target course and the student’s
home college, were highly influential in determining the propensity to use AP
credit. Measures of prior academic achievement also influenced the propensity
to use AP credit, but most demographic factors did not. After applying
propensity weights, I found no causal effect of using AP credit on subsequent
course grades. The use of two-level cross-sectional multilevel modeling showed
that the effect of using AP credit on subsequent course grades varied
significantly across courses. The results of this study show that students who
use AP credit to move directly into subsequent college STEM courses do not earn
lower grades in those courses as a result of their decision to use AP credit.

In 2006 the College Board celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Advanced
Placement (AP) program. The AP program, which began as a means of transitioning
selected high school students to colleges, had expanded to include thousands of students
sitting for thousands of exams. During the first fifty years as the program expanded, the
College Board expanded the number of course offerings. With this expansion came the
question as to the effectiveness of AP. As criticism of the College Board continued to
grow, by 2006 the College Board began reform by auditing its own courses, seeking
funding for states to expand experimental programs, and encouraging universities to no
longer accept a score of 3 on an exam. The College Board sought overall clarity
regarding the focus of the AP program once considered an elite standard in America high
schools. While there is cause to wonder, there is also encouragement.Department of Educational Leadership
