Perception Of A University: A Study Of How Parents Develop Preferences For An Institution Of Higher Education, Carl Donald Hadsell

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

As documented in previous research, parents are an important influence in their child’s college selection process. However, little attention had been given to how parents themselves develop perceptions of or preferences for specific colleges under consideration. This study’s research design tested the null hypothesis:

"THERE EXISTS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PARENT(S) OF IN-STATE STUDENTS AND PARENT(S) OF OUT-OF-STATE STUDENTS IN THEIR FORMATION OF PERCEPTIONS AND PREFERENCES FOR WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY (WVU)."

A sample was drawn from a general population that consisted of the following three categories of students who showed interest in WVU for Fall, 1981:

Institutional Self Study: Standard 11. Research, Wku University Senate

Faculty Senate

Western Kentucky University offers an educational program that emphasizes teaching, research and public service. Research is accomplished in two ways.

The first process is directly sponsored by the University through faculty research grants. These grants are supported by normal departmental efforts to provide an atmosphere for faculty/student involvement in developing and initiating new ideas, technology, and ares of investigation. The second process is that of externally sponsored grant and contract research. Standard 11 discusses both types of funding.

Although there have been some shifts in emphasis during the period studied, certain faculty members have a constant record of significant contributions …

Follow-up

Most courses offered by colleges and universities are housed in what are called general assignment classrooms. Although much similarity exists among classrooms they are not all alike nor do they serve all instructional purposes equally well. Therefore to provide instructors with information about campus classrooms can greatly assist them with their teaching.

The Dreaded Discussion: Ten Ways To Start, Peter Frederick

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

The conspiracy of silence is breaking up: we are learning to talk more openly about our joys and fears as teachers, our achievements and frustrations in the classroom. As I have listened to my colleagues talk about their students and their classrooms, the one fear and frustration mentioned more than any other, as for Henry Adams, was in leading a discussion. No matter how many articles on technique we read, or workshops we attend, the dreaded discussion continues to bother us more than any other part of our daily teaching lives. Freshman seminar and discussion-based core programs continue to develop. …
