Abstract This project explores student veterans’ perceptions of the strengths they bring to a university and how those strengths affect their academic performances. We employed mixed methods by conducting an online survey and interviews with 115 student veterans in a large southwestern public university. Findings reveal that student veterans perceive that they have strengths in communication, diversity management, leadership, and drive and that these strengths positively affect self-efficacy and motivation in their academic performances. Further, a key finding and contribution to the literature on student veteran strengths is that student veterans contextualize communication in order to translate strengths gleaned from the military into an academic setting in service of self, peers, and faculty. Based on these findings, we advocate for ways higher education institutions and faculty can support student veterans’ strengths.
摘要本项目探讨了退伍军人对他们为大学带来的优势的看法,以及这些优势如何影响他们的学习成绩。我们采用了多种方法,对西南部一所大型公立大学的115名退伍军人进行了在线调查和采访。研究结果表明,资深学生认为他们在沟通、多样性管理、领导力和驱动力方面有优势,这些优势对他们的自我效能感和学习成绩的动机有积极影响。此外,关于退伍军人学生优势的文献中的一个关键发现和贡献是,退伍军人学生将交流置于情境中,以便将从军队中收集到的优势转化为学术环境,为自己、同龄人和教师服务。基于这些发现,我们提倡高等教育机构和教师如何支持退伍军人学生的优势。

Abstract As higher education continues to see a changing student population, there is clear evidence that food insecurity is a real concern on college campuses. The need to increase food availability and access on campuses is critical to the retention and educational experiences of students. Eight students participated in interviews about their experience with food insecurity. This study also examined the lived experiences of students who encountered food insecurity. From the analysis of interviews, 15 sub-themes emerged, organized into four broad themes. The first three themes offer the voices of students who expressed the physiological, psychological, and academic impacts of food insecurity. The final section shares the coping strategies and consequent difficulties of food insecurity as these students manage their food situations. Sub-themes included coping strategies, physical and mental strain, compounded financial challenges, stigma, campus support, commitment toward degree completion, adverse academic implications, high food costs, and the feeling of isolation or lack of socializing. An important recommendation drawn from these findings is for higher education institutions to consider establishing a variety of food relief initiatives that address the issue of student hunger, especially for nontraditional student learners, and to challenge policies preventing students from getting the support they need.
摘要随着高等教育学生人数的不断变化,有明确证据表明,大学校园里的粮食不安全问题确实令人担忧。增加校园食物供应和获取的必要性对学生的保留和教育体验至关重要。八名学生参加了关于他们粮食不安全经历的访谈。这项研究还调查了遭遇粮食不安全的学生的生活经历。根据对访谈的分析,出现了15个子主题,分为四个大主题。前三个主题提供了学生的声音,他们表达了粮食不安全对生理、心理和学术的影响。最后一节分享了这些学生在管理自己的粮食状况时应对粮食不安全的策略和随之而来的困难。子主题包括应对策略、身心压力、复杂的经济挑战、耻辱感、校园支持、完成学位的承诺、不利的学术影响、高昂的食品成本以及孤独感或缺乏社交。从这些发现中得出的一个重要建议是,高等教育机构应考虑制定各种粮食救济举措,解决学生饥饿问题,尤其是针对非传统学生的饥饿问题,并挑战阻止学生获得所需支持的政策。

Abstract Individuals who are 50 years or older are the largest growing demographic among adult learners. However, we still are in the initial stages of investigating their attitudes and anxieties regarding specific areas of study. The current study explored differences between 92 younger (26–49 years) and older (50+ years) nontraditional-aged, degree-seeking undergraduate and graduate students’ attitudes and anxieties regarding statistics and research. The Attitudes Toward Research (ATR) and Statistics Anxiety Rating Scale (STARS) scales were completed via an online survey. Younger nontraditional-aged students generally expressed significantly higher anxiety and more negative beliefs regarding both statistics and research than their older counterparts. Differences were not explained by level of study nor by related experience. Results are discussed in relation to further consideration of student- and cohort-centered applications of andragogical and heutagogical principles for targeted educational practices.
摘要50岁的个人 在成年学习者中,年龄或以上是增长最快的人群。然而,我们仍处于调查他们对特定研究领域的态度和焦虑的初始阶段。目前的研究探讨了92名年轻人(26-49岁)之间的差异 年)及以上(50岁以上)非传统年龄、寻求学位的本科生和研究生对统计和研究的态度和焦虑。研究态度量表(ATR)和统计焦虑评定量表(STARS)是通过在线调查完成的。与年长的学生相比,年轻的非传统年龄的学生通常对统计数据和研究表现出更高的焦虑和更多的负面信念。差异既不能用学习水平来解释,也不能用相关经验来解释。讨论的结果与进一步考虑以学生和队列为中心的心理学和药理学原则在有针对性的教育实践中的应用有关。

Abstract As the master’s education market continues to expand, Indonesia will be amongst the key markets, especially for the MBA program. Universities are faced with challenges and opportunities in acquiring the increasing MBA market. The present study uses conjoint analysis to explore Indonesia’s MBA market preferences in choosing a university by examining the tradeoffs made on attributes considered important in decision making, which has not previously been discussed. Therefore, the present study fills a gap in the research and aids practitioners in understanding the preferences of the MBA market in Indonesia, thus enabling them to design a program and marketing strategy accordingly. The results show that total tuition fees and lecturing time are the most critical attributes. Thus, attributes defining quality were found not to be of significant concern, while programs that offer alternatives in reducing financial burden and time were more valued.
随着硕士教育市场的不断扩大,印度尼西亚将成为主要市场之一,尤其是MBA课程。大学在获得日益增长的MBA市场方面面临着挑战和机遇。本研究使用联合分析来探讨印度尼西亚MBA市场在选择大学时的偏好,通过检查在决策中被认为重要的属性所做的权衡,这在以前没有被讨论过。因此,本研究填补了研究的空白,并帮助从业者了解印度尼西亚MBA市场的偏好,从而使他们能够相应地设计项目和营销策略。结果表明,总学费和授课时间是最关键的属性。因此,定义质量的属性被发现不是重要的关注,而在减少财政负担和时间方面提供替代方案的程序更有价值。

Abstract Research examining noncognitive predictors of academic success among ethnic minority, nontraditional college students is scant. The present study examined the degree to which noncognitive variables (conscientiousness, grit, college self-efficacy, time management, and test anxiety) predict achievement (college GPA) among ethnically diverse college students. We also explored the degree to which a student’s nontraditionalness moderated the effects that noncognitive factors had on academic achievement. Participants were 340 undergraduates enrolled in a four-year Hispanic-serving institution. The perseverance facets of grit, conscientiousness, college self-efficacy, and time management were all positive correlates of achievement. Hierarchical linear regression analyses indicated that after controlling for students’ demographics and high school GPA, college self-efficacy and test anxiety were significant predictors of college achievement. Moderation analyses indicated that conscientiousness is positively associated with achievement in traditional college students but is not associated with achievement among nontraditional students.
对少数民族、非传统大学生学业成功的非认知预测因素的研究很少。本研究考察了非认知变量(责任心、毅力、大学自我效能感、时间管理和考试焦虑)在多大程度上预测了不同种族大学生的成绩(大学GPA)。我们还探讨了学生的非传统在多大程度上缓和了非认知因素对学业成绩的影响。参与者是一所四年制西班牙裔大学的340名本科生。毅力、责任心、大学自我效能感和时间管理方面的坚持都与成就呈正相关。层次线性回归分析表明,在控制了学生人口统计学和高中GPA后,大学自我效能感和考试焦虑是大学成绩的显著预测因子。适度性分析表明,传统大学生的尽责性与成绩呈正相关,而非传统大学生的尽责性与成绩不相关。

Abstract With the changing demographics in postsecondary educational settings in the United States, including university students who do not speak English as their home language and must juggle multiple responsibilities along with their studies, are instructors adequately prepared to address the complex needs of their adult emergent bi/multilingual learners (EBLs)? This qualitative study explored the perceptions of four adult EBLs from different linguistic, cultural, and racial backgrounds from a large, urban area in the northeastern United States regarding their perceptions of the effectiveness of their instructors in addressing their diverse needs. Through semi-structured interviews and multiple rounds of coding, two broad themes emerged: qualities of “good” or “effective” instructors and the professionalism and overall preparedness of instructors. Preliminary suggestions advocate for providing more comprehensive preservice preparation and ongoing professional development for instructors of adult EBLs, especially university faculty, and fostering academic bi/multiliteracy among adult EBLs as areas worthy of future research.
摘要随着美国中学后教育环境中人口结构的变化,包括不以英语为母语的大学生,他们必须在学习的同时兼顾多项责任,教师是否做好了充分的准备来满足他们的成人双/多语言学习者(EBL)的复杂需求?这项定性研究探讨了来自美国东北部一个大城市地区的四名来自不同语言、文化和种族背景的成年EBL对其导师在满足其不同需求方面的有效性的看法。通过半结构化访谈和多轮编码,出现了两个广泛的主题:“优秀”或“有效”教员的素质以及教员的专业精神和全面准备。初步建议主张为成人EBL的讲师,特别是大学教师,提供更全面的职前准备和持续的专业发展,并培养成人EBL中的学术双/多学科能力,这是值得未来研究的领域。

Abstract Recent data reveal that nearly half of all full-time undergraduate students in the U.S. are employed, which means balancing competing responsibilities related to work, school, family, and social lives. The purpose of this pilot interview study was to understand the experiences of full-time college students who work at least 30 h per week. Four interviews were conducted, and interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis and an inductive approach; patterns emerged based on recurring codes. Students stated that working has made their college experience more difficult and stressful. Data revealed that external factors highly motivate students to do well in their classes. All participants defined academic success as actually learning and understanding course content, which leads to success in future careers. Knowing the number of hours worked by undergraduate students is helpful for faculty to understand and appreciate the numerous responsibilities their students juggle.
最近的数据显示,美国近一半的全日制本科生都有工作,这意味着要平衡与工作、学校、家庭和社会生活相关的相互竞争的责任。本初步访谈研究的目的是了解每周工作至少30小时的全日制大学生的经历。进行了4次访谈,采用专题分析和归纳法对访谈数据进行分析;模式是基于重复出现的代码出现的。学生们表示,工作让他们的大学生活更加困难和紧张。数据显示,外部因素能极大地激励学生在课堂上取得好成绩。所有参与者都将学业成功定义为实际学习和理解课程内容,从而在未来的职业生涯中取得成功。了解本科生的工作时数有助于教师理解和欣赏他们的学生所承担的众多责任。

Abstract The study’s purpose is twofold and examines (a) major challenges veterans may encounter while enrolled in higher education, and (b) veterans’ perceptions of utilizing higher education as a transitional tool to the civilian workforce. A qualitative design was employed in this study. Data were collected utilizing three focus groups (N = 11). The findings concerning veterans’ challenges in pursuit of higher education are the following: (a) us versus them, (b) difference in the learning environment, (c) institutional barriers, and (d) networking. The current study provides an additional discussion platform for educators, institutions of higher education, and veterans affairs departments—it is a potential opportunity to design learning environments, policies, and practices that will enhance the overall process of veterans’ transitions and create environments in higher education that are truly veteran-friendly.
摘要本研究的目的是双重的,研究了(a)退伍军人在接受高等教育时可能遇到的主要挑战,以及(b)退伍军人将高等教育作为向文职劳动力过渡的工具的看法。本研究采用定性设计。利用三个重点小组(N = 11) 。关于退伍军人在追求高等教育过程中面临的挑战的研究结果如下:(a)我们与他们的对比,(b)学习环境的差异,(c)制度障碍,以及(d)网络。目前的研究为教育工作者、高等教育机构和退伍军人事务部门提供了一个额外的讨论平台——这是一个设计学习环境、政策和实践的潜在机会,将加强退伍军人过渡的整体过程,并在高等教育中创造真正有利于退伍军人的环境。

The findings concerning veterans’ challenges in pursuit of higher education are the following: (a) us versus them, (b) difference in the learning environment, (c) institutional barriers, and (d) networking. The current study provides an additional discussion platform for educators, institutions of higher education, and veterans affairs departments—it is a potential opportunity to design learning environments, policies, and practices that will enhance the overall process of veterans’ transitions and create environments in higher education that are truly veteran-friendly.","PeriodicalId":44549,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Continuing Higher Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/07377363.2020.1743621","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47894318","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 Engagement and motivation of online students have been explored by many online instructors and researchers. This article presents the rationale that online engagement is best achieved when both students and instructors are actively motivated by course learning and objectives. Modern learners enjoy interactive and practical exercises to demonstrate their knowledge in addition to student-instructor contact. Instructors can bring their best to the class when they use creative and innovative teaching strategies that foster student learning and its application. Tips to enhance student and instructor engagement in online courses, particularly through online discussion boards, are explored which can help to positively impact the online class experience.
