Two factors that are closely related to retention and achievement are transition to college and sense of belonging and involvement. We conducted a case study to explore the transitional experiences and sense of belonging of five low-income, academically talented college freshmen and sophomores in chemistry and physics. Although participants reported a high sense of belonging, this alone did not necessarily lead to retention. Involvement in academic organizations and activities such as clubs and research groups played a more important role in the scholars’ decisions to remain in their degree programs. The findings of our research also suggest that faculty in STEM areas may benefit from systematic professional development with a focus on curriculum design and pedagogy.","PeriodicalId":47066,"journal":{"name":"Journal of College Student Retention-Research Theory & Practice","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88637549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In their own words, the students in this study describe how their campus McNair Program supported their persistence, namely, the program's benefits, how the program helped to boost their confidence, and the significance of their faculty mentors. Lastly, the students describe how they used several forms of capital to overcome systemic barriers and pursue graduate education.

Much literature regarding student retention focuses on broad, overarching findings, but it is important to understand institution-specific retention factors. The purpose of this study was to explore the characteristics of students who were not retained and gain their unique perspective on the factors that contributed to their attrition. This study took place at one community college in the Great Plains region of the United States utilizing a three-tiered mixed-methods analysis. Methods included quantitative analysis, survey techniques, and narrative inquiry. The study identified factors that were both positively and negatively correlated with retention. There were trends across different groups and their reasons for leaving the college before completing their goals and the factors were often interconnected and complex.","PeriodicalId":47066,"journal":{"name":"Journal of College Student Retention-Research Theory & Practice","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82899819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ongoing throughout several semesters, those changes may have affected the ways that transfer students experienced transition to the 4-year university setting, with implications for student retention. Interviews with students who transferred from community colleges to a large research university at three different pandemic stages—in 2019, 2020, and 2021—reveal that some aspects of the transfer experience remained consistent, while others changed. Notably, students experienced university-level coursework as academically challenging regardless of its mode of delivery and reported finding a diversity of academic and social options at the university. Transferring into online coursework helped reduce the shock associated with large-enrollment classes and navigating a large campus. Students reported fewer issues overall with course delivery when taking solely online coursework. The paper closes with recommendations to increase transfer student retention.","PeriodicalId":47066,"journal":{"name":"Journal of College Student Retention-Research Theory & Practice","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43733249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected from undergraduate students ( N = 254) across Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Nigeria. Moderation analyses showed that both emotional intelligence and academic persistence moderated the relationship between lecturer-initiated incivility and emotional exhaustion.

However, it is elusive to most disabled citizens because of the clash of school time and disability and colleges’ obsession with efficiency. Guided by the historical, biological, and social construction of disability as a human flaw, this qualitative study contextualizes the findings within the frame of crip time, chrono-curriculum, and academic chrono-politics to reveal that disability is the basis of academic oppression and, therefore, the disempowerment of disabled college learners in Kenya. Education costs manifest in individual impairment/disability, lack of accommodations, inaccessible infrastructure, lost time, defensive unsupportive faculty and administrators, mythologies of disability, and poverty and insecurity. Since universities’ ableist chrono-curriculum and academic chrono-politics are educationally `costly to disabled students, the reformation of universities is needed to foster faculty disability awareness and commitment to disability rights and empowerment of disabled students.","PeriodicalId":47066,"journal":{"name":"Journal of College Student Retention-Research Theory & Practice","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89262773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three themes emerged from the data, a sense of belonging, engagement, and communication.

As a result, college readiness measures have fallen short, especially in math. This lack of preparation frequently leads to additional teaching, wasting important class time by going over the prerequisite content again instead of using it to study new topics in greater depth. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of a recitation laboratory for precalculus students in bridging the conceptual gap, strengthening the concepts, eradicating any misunderstandings, and eventually improving student performance. The results demonstrated that the adopted intervention significantly improved student performance and helped students close conceptual gaps in precalculus, thereby reducing the level of attrition from their majors and university.","PeriodicalId":47066,"journal":{"name":"Journal of College Student Retention-Research Theory & Practice","volume":"95 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83979211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The bridge course included activities to identify challenges and strategies for success, develop belonging with peers and faculty, and explore students’ capacity for resilience. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the four-year study tracked admission metrics and academic progression and gathered qualitative data through interviews and a focus group. Descriptive statistics examined the impact of success indicators at time of admission to the program, and qualitative responses explored ways the bridge program and subsequent supports may have influenced persistence. No single student attribute predicted success, and multiple supportive factors enabled on-time graduation. This study may offer valuable insights into effective strategies for retaining nursing students, enabling them to graduate in four years and become licensed to join the nursing workforce.","PeriodicalId":47066,"journal":{"name":"Journal of College Student Retention-Research Theory & Practice","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78284172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
