Abstract:

В научной литературе к проблемам, связанным с социально-психологической адаптацией студентов к условиям вуза, вопросы, связанные с определением психологических детерминант этого процесса изучены пока явно недостаточно. Вместе с тем, комплексная оценка факторов, определяющих успешность процесса адаптации студентов к условиям образовательного учреждения, позволяет прогнозировать возможные трудности адаптации и построить систему их профилактики, а также оказания своевременной психолого-педагогической помощи студентам. Социально-психологическая адаптация студентов представляет собой нетривиальный процесс, находящийся под влиянием многих факторов. Исследование факторов, оказывающих влияние на адаптивность студентов является не только научно востребованной темой, но и представляет практический интерес, ведь полученные знания можно использовать для прогнозирования и оказания влияния на процесс адаптации студентов. В данной статье нами был рассмотрен процесс адаптации студентов первого курса в государственном бюджетном профессиональном образовательном учреждении Республики Саха (Якутия) «Нерюнгринский медицинский колледж» Республика Саха (Якутия), г. Нерюнгри. Описана опытноэкспериментальная работа со студентами первого курса Нерюнгринского медицинского колледжа в г. Нерюнгри. По результатам первичной диагностики и обобщения педагогического опыта практиков образования РФ и РС (Я) нами было составлено календарно-тематическое планирование, в котором была отражена система тренинговых занятий. Данная система тренинговых занятий была создана с целью создания условий для успешной адаптации студентов первокурсников Нерюнгринского медицинского колледжа. Мы описали результаты констатирующего эксперимента, подтверждающие эффективность составленных и апробированных нами тренинговых занятий. In the scientific literature, the problems associated with the socio-psychological adaptation of students to the conditions of the university, the issues related to the definition of the psychological determinants of this process, have not yet been studied clearly enough. At the same time, a comprehensive assessment of the factors that determine the success of the process of students' adaptation to the conditions of an educational institution makes it possible to predict possible adaptation difficulties and build a system for their prevention, as well as providing timely psychological and pedagogical assistance to students. Socio-psychological adaptation of students is a non-trivial process, influenced by many factors. The study of factors influencing the adaptability of students is not only a scientifically demanded topic, but also of practical interest, because the knowledge gained can be used to predict and influence the process of students' adaptation. In this article, we have considered the process of adaptation of first-year students in the state budgetary professional educational institution of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) "Neryungri Medical College" Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Neryungri. Experimental work with first-year students of the Neryungri Medical College in the city of Neryungri is described. Based on the results of the primary diagnostics and generalization of the pedagogical experience of the educational practitioners of the Russian Federation and the RS (Y), we compiled a calendar-thematic planning, which reflected the system of training sessions. This system of training sessions was created in order to create conditions for the successful adaptation of first-year students of the Neryungri Medical College. We described the results of the ascertaining experiment, confirming the effectiveness of the training sessions compiled and tested by us.

Abstract:

Abstract In 2007 Southern Connecticut State University initiated a comprehensive First-Year Experience program to promote student engagement, improve academic competencies, and boost retention rates. The program included a revamped orientation, mandatory learning communities, increased academic support, and increased campus involvement. While all students participated in these components, only 50 percent of students were enrolled in a first-year seminar. Seminar participants demonstrated significantly higher rates of retention, higher GPAs, and more credits earned than nonseminar students. These effects were still evident after three years. This study identified a psychological-educational factor—future orientation—as an important factor for explaining the difference in outcomes.

Abstract:

Research has revealed a gender gap where male students have higher rates of academic difficulties and lower college enrollment and graduation rates compared with females. This study measured the relationship of male student (including first-generation and minority students) participation in a first-year seminar and their first-term grade point average and first-year persistence for two cohorts ( N = 828; 683) and third-year persistence for one cohort. There were significant differences in first-term grade point average (as high as 0.7 grade points greater) and first- and third-year persistence for all participants (including subgroups) in both cohorts as compared with nonparticipants. There were strong statistical findings where the range of differences in persistence between all male participants and nonparticipants was as large as almost 25% (third-year persistence). For male minority students, this difference increased to 34%. The study presents compelling evidence for a three-credit, academic-based first-year seminar to promote male student success over the short and long term.

Abstract:

Students have preferences for the ways in which they receive information. The visual, auditory, reading/writing, kinesthetic (VARK) questionnaire identifies student's preferences for particular modes of information presentation. We administered the VARK questionnaire to our first-year medical students, and 166 of 250 students (66%) returned the completed questionnaire. Only 36.1% of the students preferred a single mode of information presentation. Among these students, 5.4% preferred visual (learning from graphs, charts, and flow diagrams), 4.8% preferred auditory (learning from speech), 7.8% preferred printed words (learning from reading and writing), and 18.1% preferred using all their senses (kinesthetics: learning from touch, hearing, smell, taste, and sight). In contrast, most students (63.8%) preferred multiple modes [2 modes (24.5%), 3 modes (32.1%), or 4 modes (43.4%)] of information presentation. Knowing the students preferred modes can 1) help provide instruction tailored to the student's individual preference, 2) overcome the predisposition to treat all students in a similar way, and 3) motivate teachers to move from their preferred mode(s) to using others.

Abstract:

How students manage their time is critical for academic performance and is an important component of self-regulated learning. The purpose of the present study was to examine relationships among first-year college students’ ( N = 589) time use, academic self-regulation, and target and actual grade point average (GPA) at three time points. Findings showed that students planned and spent less time on academics than socializing and work obligations in their first semester. Students generally planned to spend more time on academics in the second semester. Academic time use (planned and actual academic hours) related to higher self-regulated learning and target GPA in the first and second semester. Students who were farther away from their first-semester target lowered their second-semester target GPA instead of planning more time in academics. Students exceeding their target first-semester GPA planned to socialize more in the second semester. Orientation and transition programs that assist students may need to revisit time management and planning midway through the year to address potentially inadequate self-regulated learning in the first year of college.

Abstract:

Purpose – This paper aims to discuss the background, design and implementation of the new library instruction. When a new core curriculum for first-year students was adopted at the City College of New York in the fall of 2008, the City College Library took this opportunity to establish a new approach to teach library research to freshmen. Two library workshops were embedded into a six-credit combined content and writing course. Design/methodology/approach – This paper documents the process by which the City College Library successfully transitioned to the new system and also reflects on the theory and practice of teaching information literacy in an academic setting. Findings – Library workshops embedded within the new core curriculum have clear advantages over previous library instruction. By designing and implementing library workshops to blend with the new course, the Library has become a partner in an innovative first-year program. Practical implications – This study will provide useful information on the teaching and assessment of embedded library instruction and stimulate further thought on the role of information instruction in furthering the mission of undergraduate education. Originality/value – This paper presents opportunities to expand library instruction to the first-year seminar, the most commonly implemented curricular intervention designed for freshman students. By taking part in this important project, the Library becomes an integral participant in the initiative for retention and success for undergraduate education.

Abstract:

Objectives – This study examines the reading habits and experiences of first-year undergraduate students at Dalhousie University and the University of King’s College in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Methods – First-year undergraduate university students (aged 18 to 20) were recruited to take part in focus group discussions and responses were analysed to examine the following topics: (1) the role of reading in their lives, both academic and personal; (2) the development of reading habits from childhood; (3) reading engagement strategies; and (4) selection strategies. Results – This study suggests that reading for pleasure is a well-established habit amongst many first-year undergraduate students. First-year undergraduates primarily read for pleasure in order to relax but also recognize that pleasure reading can play a positive role in their academic performance, enhancing their range of background knowledge as well as their active vocabulary. Conclusions – The conclusions of this research provide recommendations for librarians and university administration to engage students and increase rates of retention in postsecondary institutions. In particular, recommendations related to the importance of pleasure reading collections, campus reading programs, book clubs, readers’ advisory services and quiet and comfortable reading areas in academic libraries are provided.

Abstract:

The 1998 Crawford, Gordon, Nicholas, and Prosser Conceptions of Mathematics scale was administered to 156 first-year university students at a large public university in the midwestern United States. The scale represented fragmented and cohesive conceptions of mathematics. The reliability estimated as internal consistency had a Cronbach alpha of .80 for the fragmented scale and .87 for the cohesive scale. Factor analysis of the intercorrelations indicated the same two factors of fragmented and cohesive as in the original and other replicating studies. Students' conceptions of mathematics in this study were comparable to those reported in the original study.

Abstract:

Engineering is a complex field of study. Declining enrollment in engineering programs in the United States is of concern and understanding the various factors that contribute to this decline is in order. Fostering a higher level of student engagement with the content may foster passion towards engineering which could increase academic competency as well as sustained interest in remaining in the profession. This study examined the role of passion toward engineering content on students’ overall academic performance in an introductory course taught to university and high school students. A pre-test, post-test, weekly surveys and periodic classroom observation measured levels of passion in the student, classmates, and professor. Mid-semester feedback prompted the professor to adjust his teaching for the purpose of infusing greater student passion towards the content. Results suggest that student passion in both settings fluctuated widely from week to week perhaps due to variable interest in the specific topic. Overall, high school students’ level of passion remained more stable than that of university students and they performed better academically. Among university students, higher passion was not linked to higher academic performance. Professor’s passion was highly valued by students though it did not increase their own passion.

Abstract:

Scholarly investigations of the first year experience identify various difficulties for students, yet few studies investigate how those difficulties relate to each other or how students’ appraisals help to overcome them. We asked two cohorts of first-year students (109 in 2013, and 98 in 2014) about their experiences with 11 commonly-cited difficulties. They used concept maps to make comparative judgements about their difficulties, appraised their biggest difficulty, and rated how they engaged with that difficulty. The students experienced multiple difficulties at a time. Time management, work load and others’ expectations were the most prevalent and biggest difficulties. Students who appraised their difficulties as challenging or benign were happier with how they addressed their difficulty than those who appraised difficulties as harmful or threatening. Implications include the benefits of addressing more prevalent issues, understanding that students face multiple difficulties, and helping students change their perspectives of their difficulties.
