Learning Communities Versus Traditional Courses: Which Promotes The Highest Levels Of Student Persistence, Achievement, And Integration?, Sonya Russ

Theses and Dissertations

Past research in the area of college retention shows that social and academic integration are important elements in ensuring high retention rates. Many past studies show that learning communities are beneficial in helping raise retention rates as learning communities effectively increase the rates of social and academic integration. The purpose of this study was to determine whether underprepared students in learning community courses reported higher levels of achievement, persistence, and social and academic integration than underprepared non-learning community students when controlling for gender, age, ethnicity, student status, hours worked per week off campus, and time of registration. The focus of …

Influences On The Commitment To And Focus Of Community Engagement At Colleges And Universities: A Multiple-Case Study, Melissa Mcilroy Hawkins

Theses and Dissertations

Colleges and universities have embraced the importance of community engagement, not only as a tool for student development but, also, as a responsibility of the institution to address societal needs and problems. Research is lacking, however, on how institutions with varying missions, histories and cultures perceive their role in the community, what motivates an institution's commitment to community engagement and what influences the focus of those initiatives. The qualitative study investigates the external and internal influences that may impact an institution's commitment to community engagement, particularly why and how a college or university responds to community needs. The comparative study …
