A Comparative Analysis Of The Effectiveness Of Teacher Support Approaches In Afghanistan, Noorullah Noori
A Comparative Analysis Of The Effectiveness Of Teacher Support Approaches In Afghanistan, Noorullah Noori
Master's Capstone Projects
This research explores the effectiveness of three teacher professional development (TPD) approaches in the context of Afghanistan: 2-year in-service teacher education; short-term (ad-hoc) teacher training; and teacher learning circles (TLC). In this research, I compare these three models, their impact on improving teacher quality and subsequently student outcome. I applied the mix-methods approach by using three different research tools: classroom observations, self-administered questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews. I also reviewed student performance records over four semesters; from 2010 to 2011. Despite many challenges, the results show three core strengths of each of these models: the 2-year in-service teacher …

The Impact Of Community Service Involvement On Three Measures Of Undergraduate Self-Concept, Joseph B. Berger, Jeff F. Milem
Center for International Education Faculty Publications
The central purpose of this study is to increase our understanding of how community service involvement affects the development of undergraduate self-concept. The findings from this study suggest that the quality of service involvement is more important than the amount of service performed by students.

"If You Build Them Up, They Will Stay": The Role Of Recognition And Feedback On Student Retention, James R. Jones
Marketing and Management Faculty Proceedings & Presentations
While such stratagems are certainly well founded, and have achieved varying degrees of success, it may be that a more fundamentally vital area of examination is being largely overlooked, namely the impact of the high school experience. One of the critical problems facing many institutions of higher learning is that of student retention. While this issue is an important one to address across the entire student population, it has become particularly acute as relates to "minority" pupils. Accordingly, many colleges and universities have developed strategies to try to arrest enrollment attrition. These strategies typically include such mechanisms as tracking programs, …
Faculty Teaching Skills And Their Influence On The College Student Departure Process, John M. Braxton, Nathaniel J. Bray, Joseph B. Berger
Faculty Teaching Skills And Their Influence On The College Student Departure Process, John M. Braxton, Nathaniel J. Bray, Joseph B. Berger
Center for International Education Faculty Publications
Building on Tinto's interactionalist theory of student departure, this study examines student perceptions of faculty teaching skills as a precursor to student persistence. Using path analysis to consider this link, the findings demonstrate a significant influence of faculty teaching skills on student persistence. Theoretical and practical implications are then discussed.

A Modified Model Of College Student Persistence: Exploring The Relationship Between Astin's Theory Of Involvement And Tinto's Theory Of Student Departure, Jeffrey F. Milem, Joseph B. Berger
A Modified Model Of College Student Persistence: Exploring The Relationship Between Astin's Theory Of Involvement And Tinto's Theory Of Student Departure, Jeffrey F. Milem, Joseph B. Berger
Center for International Education Faculty Publications
This study provides insight into 1st-year undergraduate persistence by using behavioral measures, based on Astin's theory of involvement, to further our understanding of Tinto's theory of student departure. The findings from this study support using an integrated model in which student behaviors and perceptions interact to influence the development of academic and social integration.
