Abstract Acquiring and improving advanced foreign language communication skills are considerable challenges for graduates, especially when they require a specialised approach. Additionally, their specific needs and time limitations condition their possibilities of getting suitable programmes once they finish their higher education. This research tries to fill this gap by describing an intensive experiential programme design based on foreign language learning principles and checking the possible effectiveness of this structure in three areas: opportunities to practice, motivating atmosphere, and language improvement. A survey was administered to all the participants present in the last session of each intensive programme (28 in total; 381 participants). Participants had to indicate to what extent they agreed or disagreed with a series of statements regarding the programme’s effectiveness. It was made clear that participation was anonymous, voluntary, and confidential. Results suggest that the experiential programme’s intensive and focussed character is especially suitable for this target group within the context of continuing education due to the extensive access to meaningful input and interaction and the emotionally favourable learning environment. Regarding learning outcomes, students found that the intensive experience was successful from a language acquisition perspective, and they reported improvement in their perceived comprehension, lexical development, and general communication skills.
摘要获取和提高高级外语交流技能对毕业生来说是一项相当大的挑战,尤其是当他们需要专业化的方法时。此外,他们的特殊需求和时间限制决定了他们完成高等教育后获得合适课程的可能性。本研究试图通过描述基于外语学习原则的强化体验式课程设计来填补这一空白,并在三个领域检查这种结构的可能有效性:练习机会、激励气氛和语言改进。对每个强化课程最后一期的所有参与者进行了调查(共28人;381名参与者)。参与者必须表明他们在多大程度上同意或不同意关于该方案有效性的一系列声明。与会者明确表示,参与是匿名、自愿和保密的。研究结果表明,在继续教育的背景下,体验式课程的密集性和专注性特别适合这一目标群体,因为它可以广泛地获得有意义的投入和互动,以及情感上有利的学习环境。关于学习结果,学生们发现,从语言习得的角度来看,强化体验是成功的,他们报告说,他们在感知理解、词汇发展和一般沟通技能方面有所改善。

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on adult education programs throughout the world, abruptly transforming in-person instruction to distance teaching/learning. Can the lessons learned from adult students, especially related to the “digital divide,” be leveraged to enhance adult education and create more inclusive policies and practices moving forward? To grapple with this question, this exploratory qualitative study sought the insights of adult learners in the northeastern United States through an online survey of primarily open-ended questions. Through multiple rounds of coding using a trauma-informed lens, the following themes emerged: (a) anxiety and loss; (b) distractions, adjustments, and balance; and (c) distance learning and its advantages and disadvantages. Recommendations for modifying preservice preparation and ongoing professional development for educators of adults were asserted. These recommendations focused globally on addressing adult students’ needs for ongoing academic and psycho-social-emotional support to enhance their digital literacy and educational outcomes. Limitations of the study and areas for future research were also identified.
2019冠状病毒病大流行对全球成人教育项目产生了深远影响,使面对面教学突然转变为远程教学。能否利用从成人学生身上吸取的经验教训,特别是与“数字鸿沟”有关的经验教训,加强成人教育,制定更具包容性的政策和做法?为了解决这个问题,这项探索性质的研究通过一项主要是开放式问题的在线调查,寻求美国东北部成人学习者的见解。通过多轮的创伤信息编码,出现了以下主题:(a)焦虑和失落;(b)分心、调整和平衡;(c)远程学习及其优缺点。建议修改职前准备和持续的专业发展的成人教育工作者断言。这些建议的重点是解决成人学生对持续的学术和心理-社会-情感支持的需求,以提高他们的数字素养和教育成果。本研究的局限性和未来的研究领域也被确定。

Abstract The impact of COVID-19 on university students is multi-faceted and varies depending on the student profile. A study was conducted at a regional university in the Midwest. A quick-reaction or pulse study was done to assess the immediate effects on students in designated classes at the onset of the pandemic. A follow-up study was completed at the campus level during the subsequent fall semester. Naturally, quality of instruction and adequate technology are key to student success, but a more holistic understanding of students’ lives is necessary to properly support them during challenging times. While COVID-19 provided the context for this study, the benefits of the lessons learned can be ongoing.
摘要新冠肺炎对大学生的影响是多方面的,并因学生情况而异。一项研究是在中西部的一所地区大学进行的。进行了一项快速反应或脉搏研究,以评估疫情爆发时对指定班级学生的直接影响。在随后的秋季学期,在校园层面完成了一项后续研究。当然,教学质量和充足的技术是学生成功的关键,但有必要更全面地了解学生的生活,以便在充满挑战的时期为他们提供适当的支持。虽然新冠肺炎为这项研究提供了背景,但所吸取的经验教训的好处可以持续下去。

Abstract This study follows the experiences of adult learners one year after completing a transition program. Transition programs seek to prepare students to enter and succeed in postsecondary education. These programs typically offer remediation and academic skill building and help adult learners to navigate matriculation and financial aid processes. Although there have been some promising studies about the outcomes associated with participation in transition programs, more understanding of how these programs impact adult learners as they seek to enter postsecondary education is needed. There is also a need to better understand how to best support adult learners as they attempt to enroll in postsecondary education. Drawing from the stories of the participants in this study, this article provides recommendations for colleges and universities to better support students in the gap between transition program completion and postsecondary enrollment.
摘要本研究追踪了成年学习者在完成过渡课程一年后的经历。过渡计划旨在为学生进入高等教育并取得成功做好准备。这些项目通常提供补救和学术技能培养,并帮助成年学习者掌握入学和经济援助流程。尽管已经有一些关于参与过渡课程的结果的有希望的研究,但还需要更多地了解这些课程在成年学习者寻求进入中学后教育时如何影响他们。还需要更好地了解如何在成年学习者尝试参加中学后教育时为他们提供最佳支持。根据这项研究参与者的故事,本文为学院和大学在过渡课程完成和中学后入学之间的差距中更好地支持学生提供了建议。

Abstract The proportion of Australian students enrolling in a fully distance, online mode has been increasing over the past decade across a range of courses, including initial teacher education (ITE). The COVID-19 pandemic has further increased the need to teach and design courses in ways that successfully engage students online. This research set out to gain a deeper understanding of what it means for ITE students to be engaged in online learning and how teacher educators can enhance pedagogical practices in the online learning space. Our research tracked the experiences of nine ITE students through a series of interviews before, during, and at the conclusion of a 13-week semester, enabling us to gain valuable insights into the factors that contributed to student engagement throughout this length of time. Our findings offer some pragmatic suggestions for successfully “hosting” these students as they join and participate in the teacher education community. Using the analogy of hosting a party, we propose ways to effectively welcome online students into their learning community, encourage them to participate, enjoy the experience, and be less inclined to leave early.
在过去十年中,包括初级教师教育(ITE)在内的一系列课程中,采用全远程在线模式的澳大利亚学生比例一直在增加。COVID-19大流行进一步增加了以成功吸引学生在线的方式教授和设计课程的需求。本研究旨在更深入地了解信息技术学院学生参与在线学习的意义,以及教师教育工作者如何在在线学习空间中加强教学实践。在为期13周的学期之前、期间和结束时,我们通过一系列访谈追踪了9名ITE学生的经历,使我们能够获得宝贵的见解,了解在这段时间内影响学生参与度的因素。我们的研究结果提供了一些实用的建议,以成功地“接待”这些学生,因为他们加入和参与教师教育社区。通过举办派对的类比,我们提出了一些方法,可以有效地欢迎在线学生进入他们的学习社区,鼓励他们参与,享受体验,并且不倾向于提前离开。

Abstract In navigating the current climate of higher education in the United States, university faculty and staff are increasingly tasked with doing more with less. In this article, we explore the value of micro-credentials as a way to benefit both students and universities. We include an account of the successful creation of several graduate certificate programs that exist as subsets of a Master of Science in Leadership program. The authors also share reflections on the challenges and opportunities realized during the process of designing these certificates and suggestions for the application of micro-credentials in various settings.

Abstract There is a multitude of studies that have examined graduation rates within the traditional 4- to 6-year time frame. What fails to be captured in these studies are students who are outside the 4- to 6-year time frame. In the present study, we sought to empirically explore a cohort of students who successfully completed their bachelor’s degrees at a Carnegie classified doctoral research, public, 4-year university in the Southwest using a latent profile analysis. Institutional records (N = 14,743) for all undergraduate students who graduated Fall 2011–Summer 2016 are represented in our data, including first-time full- and part-time students, transfer students, and students who previously had stopped out of postsecondary education. Three key indicators were used to describe the classes: time to degree, grade point average, and a number of credits earned. The resulting 5-class solution identified the following classes: on-time graduates, traditional extenders, interrupted extenders, midlife extenders, and determined extenders. Characteristics of the classes and implications are provided.
有大量的研究在传统的4到6年的时间框架内检查了毕业率。在这些研究中没有捕捉到的是那些在4到6年时间框架之外的学生。在本研究中,我们试图利用潜在特征分析对一群在西南地区卡内基分类博士研究公立四年制大学成功完成学士学位的学生进行实证研究。我们的数据代表了2011年秋季至2016年夏季毕业的所有本科生的机构记录(N = 14,743),包括首次全日制和非全日制学生、转学生和之前停止接受高等教育的学生。三个关键指标用于描述课程:获得学位的时间,平均绩点和获得的学分数量。最终得到的5类解决方案确定了以下类别:准时毕业、传统扩展器、中断扩展器、中年扩展器和确定扩展器。提供了类的特征和含义。

Abstract This study analyzed the factors identified by inclusive faculty members that hinder or facilitate the inclusion of students with disabilities and their recommendations for universities to achieve full inclusion. Forty-four inclusive faculty members participated, and a biographical-narrative methodology was used. The results showed the existence of different barriers (physical, inaccessible study program, negative attitudes, and inadequate educational policies). Facilitating elements were also identified (offices of attention to students with disabilities, positive attitude of the faculty, and training courses on disability). The participants recommended the hiring of more technical staff, the creation of support groups in all faculties, more training and information on disability for the entire university community, and the implementation of university policies about inclusion.
摘要本研究分析了包容性教师确定的阻碍或促进残疾学生包容的因素,以及他们对大学实现全面包容的建议。44位包容性的教职员工参与了研究,采用了传记叙事的方法。结果显示存在不同的障碍(物理,难以获得的学习计划,消极态度和不适当的教育政策)。还确定了促进因素(关注残疾学生的办公室、教师的积极态度和残疾培训课程)。与会者建议聘请更多的技术人员,在所有院系成立支援小组,为整个大学社区提供更多关于残疾的培训和信息,以及实施大学的包容政策。

Facilitating elements were also identified (offices of attention to students with disabilities, positive attitude of the faculty, and training courses on disability). The participants recommended the hiring of more technical staff, the creation of support groups in all faculties, more training and information on disability for the entire university community, and the implementation of university policies about inclusion.","PeriodicalId":44549,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Continuing Higher Education","volume":"70 1","pages":"175 - 191"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47913895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract Access to primary education, implemented in many nations as a fundamental right, is enshrined in the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, Article 26(1). However, higher education requires enhanced levels of financial, institutional, and infrastructural commitment from the governments and the student, and sometimes neither has the wherewithal to do so, especially with the global COVID-19 pandemic incapacitating systems everywhere. The quality of higher education and the availability of multiple choices in foreign degree programs are also key considerations. And in meeting personal ambitions, the students predispose themselves to the additional stressors of cultural differences, adjustment issues, and the academic demands of host nations. This research involves a study of acculturative stress and adjustment using a convenient sample of 60 adult international students from Afghanistan, China, Nepal, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, and South Africa, in Goa. The respondent test scores were statistically analyzed. The findings reveal partial gender-based differences along with significant influences of educational qualification and financial support for the variables of acculturative stress and adjustment. In addition to the quantitative data, the opinions of a group of educators, foreign students, and psychologists were sought to understand the issues and challenges experienced in continuing adult education. Implications for interventions are also discussed.
《联合国人权宣言》第二十六条第(一)款规定,在许多国家,接受初等教育是一项基本权利。然而,高等教育需要政府和学生加强财政、机构和基础设施方面的承诺,有时两者都没有这样做的资金,尤其是在全球新冠肺炎疫情使各地的系统丧失能力的情况下。高等教育的质量和外国学位课程的多种选择也是关键考虑因素。在满足个人抱负的过程中,学生们容易受到文化差异、适应问题和东道国学术要求的额外压力。这项研究涉及一项关于文化适应压力和适应的研究,使用了来自果阿阿富汗、中国、尼泊尔、沙特阿拉伯、菲律宾和南非的60名成年国际学生的方便样本。对被调查者的考试成绩进行统计分析。研究结果揭示了部分基于性别的差异,以及学历和经济支持对文化适应压力和适应变量的显著影响。除了定量数据外,还征求了一群教育工作者、外国学生和心理学家的意见,以了解成人继续教育中遇到的问题和挑战。还讨论了干预措施的影响。
