Abstract

Abstract Failure to thrive among nontraditional graduate students—whether by attrition, degree noncompletion, or failure—may represent an inability to manage competing demands rather than an inability to perform academically. University personnel have considered themselves limited in the ability to support non-traditional students to overcome nonacademic barriers to persistence and degree completion. However, nontraditional graduate students possess a capacity to change in order to participate successfully in higher education, and university personnel can positively inform such changes. This study examined the experiences of nine students who overcame imposed withdrawal (i.e., dismissal or academic disqualification) and continued successfully or completed a graduate degree. An analysis of interview transcripts revealed eight change attribution themes demonstrating how nontraditional students enacted several changes to themselves or their approaches to learning and how they shared responsibility for changing in their relations to others—all as an effort to overcome failure and to succeed academically.
非传统研究生克服强制戒断的调节
摘要在非传统研究生中未能茁壮成长——无论是由于自然减员、学位未完成还是失败——可能代表着无法管理相互竞争的需求,而不是学术表现不佳。大学工作人员认为自己在支持非传统学生克服非学术障碍以坚持和完成学位方面的能力有限。然而,非传统研究生拥有改变的能力,以便成功地参与高等教育,大学工作人员可以积极地告知这些变化。这项研究调查了九名学生的经历,他们克服了强制退学(即被解雇或学业取消资格),继续成功或完成了研究生学位。对面试记录的分析揭示了八个变化归因主题,展示了非传统学生如何对自己或学习方法进行几次改变,以及他们如何分担改变与他人关系的责任——所有这些都是为了克服失败并在学业上取得成功。
