Specifically, this study investigated the variables that significantly affected and predicted overall achievements. The Nigerian American questionnaire (NAQ) was used to gather the data for this study. The NAQ survey instrument was developed using some questions from previously validated survey instruments. These instruments included COPE, CASE, SWLS and JSS, which were used to extract relevant variable-related questions for the present data. The variables …
Balancing The Demands Of College And Athletics: First-Generation Female Student Athletes’ Perception Of The College Experience, Adrienne Rodriguez
Balancing The Demands Of College And Athletics: First-Generation Female Student Athletes’ Perception Of The College Experience, Adrienne Rodriguez
Theses & Dissertations
Research Focus. The launch of the 1972 Title IX regulation education amendment arrived at a pivotal time for women in sports. “Title IX recognized the uniqueness of intercollegiate athletics by permitting colleges and universities to have separate and equal athletic programs for women” (Hogshead-Makar, & Zimbalist, 2007, p. 2). As more women began to participate in sports, pressures to perform both competitively and academically presented different challenges for female athletes during their collegiate career. For a female student-athletes to be successful in both academics and athletics, the student-athlete must discover a means to sustain a reasonable balance academically and athletically …
Success Profile: A Case Study Of The African-American Women In The President's Office, Pamela Ray
Success Profile: A Case Study Of The African-American Women In The President's Office, Pamela Ray
Theses & Dissertations
Research Focus. Women and minorities have struggled historically in American society due to inequality, racism, and restrictions to advancement, and have turned to education to better their quality of life (Littlefield, 1997; Synnott, 2008). Research indicates there is growing concern about the lack of ethnic minority women at the higher education administrative level, especially for African-American women as the chief executive officer–university/college President (American Council on Education, 2011). Seltzer (2017) has reported no change in the growth of African-American women university/college presidents. The basis for this study is the prevailing lack of information on African-American women’s success factors in leadership …
Implementing The Patient-Centered Care Paradigm In An Academic Research Environment, Fernando Orgas
Implementing The Patient-Centered Care Paradigm In An Academic Research Environment, Fernando Orgas
Theses & Dissertations
Research Focus. The healthcare landscape is transitioning from a provider-centered care model toward greater emphasis on patient-centered care (PCC). The shift to PCC reflects efforts to increase the quality of healthcare and the care experience. The current state of research within healthcare remains focused on how to provide high-quality and sound research that will bring new equipment, procedures, and verify strategies that may benefit healthcare globally. However, changes in the healthcare atmosphere bring a new perspective to research. How is the paradigm shift to patient-centered care implemented in an academic research environment? Does this holistic mindset fully cross into …
Refugee Livelihood: Understanding The Vocational Training Experiences Of Foreign Refugee Women Living In Malawi, Mary Patricia Davis
Refugee Livelihood: Understanding The Vocational Training Experiences Of Foreign Refugee Women Living In Malawi, Mary Patricia Davis
Theses & Dissertations
With Africa holding 26% of the world’s refugees, it is critical to understand the educational opportunities that are accessible for refugees, especially in the context of African women who are historically excluded as the primary target for education (UNHCR, 2018a).Despite the policies and institutional commitment to education for the refugee population, there is little evidence to ensure quality, or access to education, at the regional or local levels. For women and young girls in displacement, access to education is particularly limited to the secondary level (UNHCR, 2011a).In response to the need for quality education for refugee women, Malawi’s vocational training …
Leadership For Promoting Sustainable Development: A Study Of Nongovernmental Organization Leaders In Haiti, Adelin Rival
Leadership For Promoting Sustainable Development: A Study Of Nongovernmental Organization Leaders In Haiti, Adelin Rival
Theses & Dissertations
Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have played an increasingly important role in global governance. Since the end of the Second World War, they have been involved in every aspect of social, economic, environmental, and institutional life in the whole world. The presence of NGOs has been seen as a necessity for the developing world, but much more so for low-income countries such as Haiti. The amount of scholarship dedicated to the post-2010 Haiti earthquake revitalization indicates that Haiti must heavily rely on the leadership of nongovernmental organizations so that the country can achieve its sustainable development goals by 2030. However, significant delays …
A Grounded Theory Study Of Orientation Leaders' Perspectives On The Impact Of Their Involvement In Orientation, Rochelle Ramirez
A Grounded Theory Study Of Orientation Leaders' Perspectives On The Impact Of Their Involvement In Orientation, Rochelle Ramirez
Theses & Dissertations
Theory suggests students benefit when they become involved in co-curricular activities outside the classroom (Astin, 1993). While there is some literature on college orientation programs, most is dated and focuses on the participants attending orientation, providing little knowledge on the student orientation leaders (OLs) who help execute the programs (Pierson & Timmerman, 2004). Therefore, this grounded theory study was conducted to describe the details of the participants’ lived experiences serving as orientation leaders. The intent of this qualitative study was to extract meaning and understanding from the OLs personal accounts and their unique interpretations of their experiences. Individual in-depth interviews …

This study is aimed at exploring Chinese degree-seeking international students’ perceptions about their acculturation in the United States. This qualitative study was conducted at a faith-based private university in South Texas.

Public High School Principals’ Perceptions Of Leadership Strategies For Improved School Performance, Christine Keyser-Fanick
Theses & Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to explore what leadership behaviors and strategies public high school principals perceived to be most effective in achieving school improvement. The qualitative constructivist grounded theory research methodology used for the study was modeled after the work of Kathy Charmaz (2014), who acknowledges that the researcher is a part of the process, as observer, data collector, analyzer, and interpreter of the data. Data were gathered through one-on-one interviews with six principals from high schools with student populations of 1,200 or more whose schools showed improvement based on state standardized test scores and whose high schools …
Learning Styles Of Generation Z Latinos: A Mixed-Methods Exploratory Study Of Two Cohorts Of Business University Students, Angela Guzman Palacios
Learning Styles Of Generation Z Latinos: A Mixed-Methods Exploratory Study Of Two Cohorts Of Business University Students, Angela Guzman Palacios
Theses & Dissertations
The Latino population is projected to double by 2060 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2017), while current bachelor degree attainment for Hispanics continues to hover around a stubborn low 12% (NCES, 2017). Additionally, research on Generation Z Latino learning preferences is sparse. At the same time, studies have shown that knowing about learning styles and culture can have positive impacts on learners’ academic performance and teachers’ classroom management ability (Nieto, 2004; Reese, Jensen, & Ramirez, 2014). Therefore, studying learning styles and culture can help prepare educators better to fulfill this generation’s needs by enabling them to integrate cultural accommodations into their teaching. …
