Examining The Factors Influencing Students Retention And Migration In Higher Education Institutions In Liberia., Faith Sivili, Glory Baysah

Adventist Human-Subject Researchers Association

As a major component of quality assurance challenges disrupting many universities across the globe, higher education institutions (HEIs) are currently faced with increasing issues of student retention, non-completion, and drop-out as well as interuniversity migration. Implicit in the process of quality assurance is the improvement of higher education facilities, teaching and learning quality, diversity, infrastructural development, and diversity in the learning environment. This paper will investigate the factors that influence the retention of students and their intentions to stay and study in selected universities in Liberia instead of seeking transfer to other universities outside the country.

P-39 Interdisciplinary Diffusion Lab, Sable Canales, Chloe Gaban, Mickey Kutzner

Celebration of Research and Creative Scholarship

Diffusion is a principle in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. The rate of diffusion is affected by temperature, particle size, concentration, and material type. Students can model the rate of diffusion based on particle size by contrasting blue and yellow dyes. Two petri dishes containing agar-agar receive a drop of dye at the center. The radius of expansion is recorded over time. The variance of the distribution grows as 𝜎2=4𝐷𝑡, where 𝜎2 is the variance, D is the diffusion constant, and t is time. Graphing variance versus time gives a slope of 4D. Diffusion constants vary by particle size, allowing for …

Principals Who Influence A Positive School Culture, Evelyn Savory

Andrews University Teaching and Learning Conference

Are you a K-12 Adventist school principal or would like to be one? If you find yourself constantly thinking of and creating ways to sustain a positive learning environment at your school you are not alone. Many studies suggest that the struggle to maintain a positive culture in schools is directly tied to principals’ leadership characteristics (Beaudion and Taylor, 2004; Peterson and Deal, 2002). This breakout session will present four key principal characteristics that help maintain a positive culture in Adventist K-12 schools. Opportunity will be given for principals to share other strategies that work in their environment. Beginning principals, …

Course Designing With Maps, Marsha Beal

Andrews University Teaching and Learning Conference

According to the Chicago Center for Teaching, “planning a course is arguably the key ingredient in pedagogical success.” A great metaphor for course design is like planning a trip to some place you have never gone before. To get there efficiently, a good road map is a must; because without one the driver may end up there eventually but not without detours and missed directions. The great news for teachers is that there are many (20+) instructional design “maps” called models. The ADDIE, Kirkpatrick, and SAM models are three of those models. This session will give an overview of each …
