Abstract:
Two studies examined the relationships between motivational orientation, college student success, and first-year retention. In Study 1, 523 college students completed measures of motivational orientation and student success. Results indicated that intrinsic and extrinsic motivation were positively related to college GPA, student-university match and adjustment to college. In contrast, amotivation was negatively related to these dependent variables. Study 2 examined a mediational model in which motivational orientation, most consistently amotivation, predicted lower college student GPA and poorer college match. These, in turn predicted a decrease in first-to-second-year retention among 385 first-year college students. These results suggest that colleges may wish to address amotivation among students as a way to enhance student success and retention.

Abstract:
Background: Increasingly colleges and universities are utilizing Outdoor Orientation Programs (OOPs) to help incoming students assimilate into college life. These programs have shown promise in recent analyses for enhancing desired outcomes with particular consideration shown to pro-social behavior and retention outcomes. Purpose: To examine how effective OOPs are in preparing students for a successful college student experience, particularly with variables known to influence student success and commitment to college. Methodology/Approach: Data were collected from four universities across the United States. Participants in this study were 205 undergraduate students from 17 to 25 years old who self-enrolled in their respective institutions OOP. This study used the College Student Readiness Inventory to generate a hypothesis concerning the possible effects of an OOP experience concerning predictive and outcomes variables relative to college student commitment. Findings/Conclusions: Using SmartPLS, the main effects of the OOP indicated predictive relationships between Commitment to College and Goal Striving, Communication Skills, Social Activity, Emotional Reactivity, Study Skills, and Social Connection. Academic Self-Discipline, Academic Self-Confidence, and Self-Determination on Commitment to College. Implications: Study findings suggest specific connections between predicting college student commitment before and after an OOP.

Abstract:
The stability of colleges and universities is closely related to the stability of the country and society. Counselors play an extremely important role in the daily management of colleges and universities. Colleges and universities are an important part of society. Multiple social conflicts will affect and project on colleges and universities, which at the same time leads to the difficulty of student management, especially in the face of group crisis events. The school needs to respond quickly, and counselors promptly and effectively intervene to minimize the damage caused by the crisis event, which is of great significance for maintaining the stability of college campuses. In the crisis of college students, college counselors should strengthen their role positioning, maximize their functions and realize their value, so as to effectively reduce the incidence of college crisis events and create a healthier and safer campus environment for college students.

Abstract:
Tribhuvan University is the largest university in Nepal. The marketing of educational services is still a debatable issue in Nepal. This study analyzes the market orientation of Tribhuvan University’s constituent colleges and affiliated colleges. The relationship among various dimensions of market orientation like customer focus, addressing student employer need, competition-oriented strategies, integration of organizational activities were examined and the impact of these dimensions was measured in terms of student satisfaction. This study is a quantitative causal analysis. Students of Tribhuvan University affiliated colleges were surveyed on the market orientation of the college. The study found that most of the colleges were not market-oriented. The study showed a positive correlation among student orientation, employer orientation and integrated activities. Further studies could analyze the market orientation of other Nepalese universities and the market orientation of particular faculty of the university.

"College Satisfaction, Sense of Achievement, Student Happiness and Sense of Belonging of Freshmen in Chinese Private Colleges: Mediation Effect of Emotion Regulation." International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 18, no. 22 (November 9, 2021): 11736. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/ijerph182211736.

Abstract:
Sense of belonging constitutes a critical component of college students’ retention and academic achievement, especially in disadvantaged higher education institutions such as private colleges in China. Using nationwide survey data (n = 3816) from Chinese private colleges, this study explores how college satisfaction, sense of achievement, and student happiness contribute to freshmen’ sense of belonging. Structural equation modeling analyses have identified the significant positive associations between freshmen’s emotion regulation and sense of belonging. In particular, emotion regulation plays a mediating role in the relations between college satisfaction, sense of achievement, student happiness, and the sense of belonging. Therefore, private colleges should design and implement orientation programs to improve freshmen’s learning experience, especially college satisfaction and student happiness, to enhance their sense of belonging.

Abstract:
The main clients of every Higher Educational Institution (HEI) are the students. Their satisfaction is the utmost concern of an HEI. Thus, this paper assessed the student services of Saint Columban College using the 42 graduating students of the College of Teacher Education, Arts and Sciences (CTEAS) during the first semester of the Academic Year 2018-2019. The different student services that were assessed are the following: Admissions, Student Orientation, Guidance Program and Services, Campus Ministry, Student Assistance Program, Co-curricular Programs and Activities, Alumni, and Registrar’s Services. This used a survey questionnaire adapted from the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges, and Universities (PAASCU) manual. This made use of weighted Mean, to sum up, the responses of the research participants. Based on the findings, Admission, Student Orientation, Campus Ministry, co-curricular activities, and Alumni got excellent ratings while Guidance Programs and services, Student Assistance program and Registrar’s services got lower satisfaction from them. Therefore, the researchers suggested activities on how to serve the students better.

Abstract:
The current employment situation is grim, and the era of science and technology is conducive to college students providing new opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship. The inclusion of entrepreneurship education in college courses can open up more employment opportunities for students. Therefore, the educational environment is crucial for students’ employment choices. This paper conducted a questionnaire survey on 582 college students from nine universities in Fujian Province, China, to develop a relationship model between science and technology innovation perception, education, and entrepreneurial intention. The results show that: 1. Science and technology innovation perception education has been proven to have a direct positive influence on college students’ entrepreneurial intention; 2. Undergraduates work value orientation (including career orientation, mission orientation, and livelihood orientation) significantly affects entrepreneurial self-efficacy and thus entrepreneurial intention; and 3. Both work value orientation and entrepreneurial selfefficacy have a direct influence on entrepreneurial intention, but the influence of entrepreneurial self-efficacy is greater than that of work value orientation. Therefore, enhancing college students’ entrepreneurial self-efficacy is the main way to improve entrepreneurial intention. Based on this, to improve the entrepreneurial intention of college students, colleges and universities should strengthen science and technology innovation perception education, do a good job in student employment guidance, improve students’ self-efficacy, meet undergraduates’ diverse employment needs, and provide more entrepreneurship resources to undergraduates.

Abstract:
The authors suggest that college and university planners and advisors shift from a student-centered to a parentlstudent-centered freshman orientation. Planning significant events for parents not only improves the quality of orientation but also offers excellent public relations opportunities. While careful orientation for students will enhance adjustment to college life, a good orientation for parents will benefit parents, students, and the school By applying a psychographic typology known as Values and Lifestyles (VALS), schools can create a choice of activities attractive to parents from different market segments. Increased student retention will be a major benefit.

Abstract:
Many tertiary institutions are confronted with the challenge of unprepared students. This epidemic is largely due to factors in and out of individuals‟ control. These factors include academic proficiency, course-student match, support and integration, financial stability, preparation, personal circumstances and engagement. The main objective of this study is therefore threefold: Firstly, to describe what student readiness entails; secondly to understand why there is a lack of readiness among first-year Human Resource Management students, and thirdly, to identify and improve upon interventions that prepare students for tertiary education. For this study student readiness refers to the ability of students to meet the basic requirements to successfully enrol for a course without remedial assistance and to successfully complete their studies in the recommended timeframe. The target population of this study focussed on students who registered on a full-time basis for the National Diploma in Human Resource Management for the academic year 2014 (n=117). A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to the students and an open-ended questionnaire additionally to the lecturers who teach first-year Human Resource Management students. The study was subjected to various statistical techniques such as Cronbach‟s alpha, t-tests, Pearson moment product correlation and Cohen‟s d. In doing so an improved insight into student readiness and success was developed. The main findings of the study indicated that there is a relationship between the type of schooling and readiness factors as statistical significance was noted. In addition, students who scored high on readiness factors were more likely to succeed in tertiary education. Moreover the number of interventions students is exposed to positively influence student readiness and success. This study has contributed to the body of knowledge which relates to the broader educational environment in South Africa and provides recommendations to address student readiness and success.

Abstract:
For as long as new college students have written English, they have done so badly. Or so, at least, is the headline story from 19th century Harvard reports to 21st century coverage. These claims keep us firmly in a language regulation paradigm focused on error, rather than a language exploration paradigm focused on knowledge and analysis: We hear a lot of complaints about what student writers can’t do, but we don’t learn much about what characterizes secondary and postsecondary writing. To do something different, this study uses DocuScope’s language cluster tool and two corpora (of incoming student Dirscted Self Placement writing and upper-level student writing, to three ends: (1) to illustrate language exploration as a productive (and fun!) orientation toward student writing at different levels, (2) to connect abstracted claims – alleged reasons that “new college students can’t write” – to rhetorical patterns in actual students’ writing, and (3) to use empirical writing data to debunk myths about college writing development. Ultimately, the study shows significant rhetorical differences between secondary and postsecondary writing that are linked to the different assignment tasks at each level. It also shows how we can use DocuScope language clusters to support students’ metacognitive awareness of secondary and postsecondary writing practices

Abstract:
AbstractThe Indian teacher education scenario has undergone numerous changes in the last few years especially with the shift to the two-year teacher preparation programmes. As a result of this change, both the teacher educators and the student teachers had to adapt to the modified curriculum, teaching methodologies and assessment process. This paper focuses on assessing student teachers’ perceptions about their classroom learning environments and teacher interpersonal behaviour. The study utilises the modified version of the What Is Happening In This Classroom (WIHIC) questionnaire and the Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI). The data was collected from 150 student teachers from a teacher education college studying in the third and fourth semester of the two-year B.Ed./B.Ed. Special Education programme. The results show that student teachers positively perceived their classroom learning environments. They expressed a lot of student cohesiveness, teacher support for the students, task orientation and involvement of students in the classroom activities. Students perceived an environment that promotes innovation, equity and a high level of cooperation. Results for teacher interpersonal behaviour show that student teachers perceived their teacher educators as good leaders who understand their needs. They are helpful and friendly and provided ample opportunities for students to express themselves freely. They also give responsibility to accomplish different tasks. The negative aspects of teacher interpersonal behaviour like uncertainty, admonishing and dissatisfied behaviour were given a low rating by the student teachers. They, however, felt that the teacher educators were strict in the class. Data analysis reveals that no significant associations exist between academic achievement and classroom learning environments and teacher interpersonal behaviour. Results also show that there were no significant gender differences in the learning environments. However, there were significant gender differences in the teacher interpersonal behaviour in favour of female student teachers. Also, no semester and programme based differences in the classroom learning environments and teacher interpersonal behaviour exist at the teacher education level.

Abstract:
This chapter describes how one innovative practice evolved to become an integral part of the college's efforts to increase student preparedness and success in courses so that they will be employable and competitive in the global workforce. Texas State Technical College Harlingen aimed to enhance student success in online education through implementing a mandatory class, Student Online Learning Orientation, for new online students. The course was developed as the result of faculty research and recommendations regarding online learning at the college. The majority of students at the college are underprepared and from low socioeconomic backgrounds, putting them at a disadvantage in taking these courses. Rather than a barrier to taking online classes, the goal of this class is to provide students with the necessary tools and skills to be successful. Results of the program show an increase in persistence and completion of online courses, and the course has become an integral part of the college's training and first-year experience for all students.

Abstract:
This is a case study of a class of first year traditional college-age students enrolled in a class that assessed measures to orient new students and enlist them in becoming committed to completing their degrees. The motivation of the university that designed the course was two-fold: to help students develop good time management and study skills; and to nurture student loyalty to retain them through graduation at this university. The study followed a small class of 18-20 year old first year students through their first semester at a mid-sized western public university. The results of the study indicated that while many factors affect students’ attitudes and retention throughout their college years, simple measures of enlistment and peer-mentoring fared best to positively influence student attitudes and responses in the college-orientation class; and, peer involvement offered the most promise of future brand commitment to student retention at the university.

Abstract:
This study estimates the relative efficiency of twelve colleges of the University of Sharjah from 2014 to 2019. The methodological approach we employed ensures the homogeneity of the colleges under review. We used an output-oriented smoothed bootstrap data envelopment analysis (DEA) model for the efficiency assessment while assuming that variable returns-to-scale prevail. Output orientation facilitates target-setting rather than cost-cutting, which is supported by input-oriented DEA models. Our analysis indicated an improvement in the efficiency of the University of Sharjah during the period under review. Also, the College of Communication, Engineering, and Law are the most influential benchmarks for the remaining colleges. However, the Colleges of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences and Business Administration present a definite improvement. Increasing the postgraduate student recruitment is more useful for further efficiency improvement of the University of Sharjah than expanding undergraduate student recruitment.

Abstract:
This paper details the successful and inexpensive implementation of remote laboratory experiments into a control systems course using readily available hardware and software. The custom-made experiments include an inverted pendulum, a platform leveling system, a ball and beam apparatus, and an aerodynamic beach ball levitation system, each implemented in a separate course offering. With each laboratory, the control objective is to regulate a physical parameter, (pendulum angle, platform orientation, ball position, etc.) by manipulating voltage to a drive component (DC motor, linear actuator, blower, etc.). Engineering software commonly used in controls courses (MATLAB/Simulink and LabView) coupled with dedicated hardware (xPC Target and NI Compact Rio) provide the controller platforms, while Microsoft NetMeeting and standard Internet video conferencing equipment are used to interface the distance-learning students with the laboratory equipment. Both local students at North Carolina State University’s campus in Raleigh and distance students at the University of North Carolina at Asheville and Craven Community College in Havelock, NC complete the laboratory experiments. In a student survey, distance students participating in the remote labs rated the experience as favorably as local students. Course grades, including design project grades, were similar between the two groups.

Abstract:
The preoccupation with the creation of complete educational systems, responding to the needs of their beneficiaries (pupils, students, course attendants) is now more valid than ever. The extension of school into non-traditional social spaces, the creation of new learning environments, represents a solution for the current educational needs. This article presents the results derived from an educational project which has managed to put together both the traditional learning environment, from the university, and the social-economic environment represented by the employers. The two entities acted together to contribute to the success of college graduates. The educational experiences created by the two entities aimed to develop complex educational services targeting students: traditional teaching, with the organization of learning experiences in real working environments, face-to-face, as well as on-line student guidance and tutoring, the provision of complex counselling services, at individual and at group level, both face-to-face and on-line. The work indicates the fact that there is a direct dependence between the growth in the number of students who were involved in learning experiences in real working environments, corresponding to their preparation, abilities, interests, competencies and the facilitation of transition from school to active life, reflected by the time necessary for students/ graduates to be employed in the specialty that they completed. Also, the work indicates that there is a direct relation between the increase in the complexity of information, orientation, counselling, and monitoring services provided to the students within the learning community in real working environments and the reinforcement of the partnership between the university and the social and economic environment. The impact of the educational project on the beneficiaries, future graduates of master’s degree studies, was a major one. The students developed their capacity for adjustment to the requirements of a workplace, they put into practice the matters learned in theory, they developed their learning and communication capacities, improved their career opportunities by developing specific competences on the initiation and management of their own career within orientation and counselling activities etc. The educational project presented by the article represents a best practice model which indicates the mode in which the opportunities for the start of active life can be improved, by improving communication between the students and future employers within a varied learning community, conducted in the real environment, as well as online.

Abstract:
Abstract The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering (FSE) received a two-year grant to institutionalize entrepreneurial mindset (EM) throughout the college. This paper summarizes the history of entrepreneurial education in engineering, then reviews metrics of initial implementation success across 17, ABET-accredited programs. Five strategies were deployed during the implementation stage of the initiative, which strived to engage 66 faculty who taught one of three EM-focus courses in each undergraduate program: a first-year engineering course, a required design or technical course in the second or third year, and Capstone. Strategies were: 1) Adopting a 21st Century Engineer orientation to entrepreneurial education; 2) Operationalizing EM using a single, consistent framework across all courses and programs; 3) Modeling implementation based on ABET accreditation processes; 4) Infusing the initiative with substantial faculty support; and 5) Incentivizing faculty with stipends to promote initial implementation. Challenges revolve around sustaining implementation while improving effectiveness of EM instruction and assessment, particularly after grant funding. Lessons learned are that 1) institutionalization of the initiative needs to be strategized during initial implementation and 2) faculty are more likely to support an initiative that includes activities and outcomes about which they have always cared, including student success, professional development, and collegial interaction.
