摘要

摘要非传统学生在高等教育人口中占很大比例,但一些机构可能比其他机构更适合满足他们的需求。这项研究是在一所以医疗保健为重点的小型大学进行的,该大学吸引了许多非传统学生,因此我试图收集有关他们体验质量的信息。我对非传统学生样本(七名女性,一名男性)进行了在线采访,看看他们是否感到受欢迎,他们的需求是否得到了满足,以及他们如何应对新冠肺炎大流行带来的挑战。对访谈记录进行了回顾,并采用归纳法对其进行了分析。声明分为六个主题:大学的欢迎环境、与其他学校的比较、传统学生和非传统学生之间的关系、大学提供的有益服务、帮助大学非传统学生的方法建议以及学生获得的社会支持。分析显示,学生们对自己的大学经历和获得的学术支持质量非常满意。未来的研究可以从学生满意度、学生成功率或保留率的角度评估传统和非传统学生的服务有效性。

A Welcoming Environment: Nontraditional Students’ Experiences at a Small, Healthcare-Focused University
Abstract Nontraditional students represent a large percentage of the population in higher education, yet some institutions may be better suited than others to serve their needs. This research took place at a small, healthcare-focused university that attracts many nontraditional students, so I sought to gather information about the quality of their experiences. I conducted online interviews with a sample of nontraditional students (seven female, one male) to see if they felt welcomed, if their needs were being served, and how they coped with challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Transcriptions of the recorded interviews were reviewed, and an inductive approach was taken in analyzing them. Statements were coded into six themes: the welcoming environment of the university, comparisons to other schools, relations between traditional and nontraditional students, helpful services offered by the university, suggestions for ways to help nontraditional students at the university, and social support received by the students. Analysis revealed that the students were highly satisfied with their university experience and the quality of the academic support they received. Future research could assess the effectiveness of services for both traditional and nontraditional students in terms of student satisfaction, student success, or retention rate.
