Jiali Zheng; Melissa Duffy; Ge Zhu – Discover Education, 2024
Students in technology majors such as Computer Science and Information Technology need to take a series of computer programming courses to graduate. Yet, not all students will persist in taking programming courses as required, and little is known about the factors influencing their enrollment intentions. Research is needed to better understand…

Toby J. Park-Gaghan; Christine Mokher; Taylor Burtch; Morgan Danyi – Grantee Submission, 2024
Florida State University researchers spent the last year collecting and analyzing data on corequisite developmental education (DE) models in Texas as part of a four-year study that received a $1.5M grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences. This study was proposed in response to Texas House Bill (HB) 2223, which…

Jennifer E. Clinkenbeard – Numeracy, 2021
In Fall 2018, remedial mathematics courses were eliminated from the 23-campus California State University system under Executive Order 1110. Incoming first-year students were placed into college credit-bearing mathematics courses with options for corequisite support. This study examines the academic outcomes for students at California State…

Hurt, Sheila F.; Maeda, Yukiko – NACADA Journal, 2021
Research on the Advanced Placement (AP) program generally shows that students scoring 4s and 5s on AP exams outperform their non-AP peers in subsequent college courses. However, faculty and academic advisors often suggest that students with AP credit should repeat prerequisite courses in college before attempting advanced coursework. We compared…

Dwyer, Jessica H.; González-Espada, Wilson J.; de la Harpe, Kimberly; Meier, David C. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2020
The United States is not graduating enough science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors for the increasing number of available employment opportunities and national security needs. The purpose of this study was to quantify the magnitude of STEM attrition at the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA), a military service academy…

Zhang, Li-fang – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
This research pioneered the investigation of the statistically predictive power of academics' emotions in teaching for their organizational commitment--beyond age, academic rank, academic degree, sex, and taught academic discipline. Two hundred 22 academics from 13 higher educational institutions in Shanghai, mainland China, responded to a revised…

Lang, David; Wang, Alex; Dalal, Nathan; Paepcke, Andreas; Stevens, Mitchell L. – AERA Open, 2022
Committing to a major is a fateful step in an undergraduate education, yet the relationship between courses taken early in an academic career and ultimate major issuance remains little studied at scale. Using transcript data capturing the academic careers of 26,892 undergraduates enrolled at a private university between 2000 and 2020, we describe…

Moely, Barbara E.; Ilustre, Vincent – Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning, 2019
How is required public service during college related to later civic behavior? This article reports findings from a survey of 359 alumni, conducted two years after they completed their undergraduate studies at Tulane University. The alumni held positive views of the substantial public service requirement they had completed before graduating and…

Forgey, Staci B.; Williams, Mitchell R.; Pribesh, Shana – Community College Enterprise, 2020
Gatekeeper courses such as Anatomy and Physiology are often referenced in discussions regarding the national shortage of persons in allied health professions. In an attempt to bolster access to STEM professions, some community colleges are mandating prerequisite courses such as Natural Sciences and/or General Biology for STEM gatekeeping courses.…

Zhang, Jiayi; Beckmann, Nadin; Beckmann, Jens F. – Language Teaching Research, 2023
Chinese students are frequently seen as passive learners because of their apparent reluctance to speak, particularly in English classrooms. However, this impression seems to reflect a stereotype which is likely to confound willingness to communicate (WTC) and communication behaviour. In this article we argue for more attention to be paid to…

Wisneski, John E.; Ozogul, Gamze – American Journal of Distance Education, 2019
Previous studies have compared student performance for the same or similar classes delivered both online and face-to-face. However, few studies have explored the role that a change in learning environment plays in the student's ability to transfer skills and knowledge gained in prerequisite courses to follow-on, or post-requisite, courses. The…

Shoulders, Catherine W.; Johnson, Donald M.; O'Bryan, Corliss A.; Crandall, Philip G. – Journal of Food Science Education, 2018
The 1st step in successfully intervening with students who may fail a course is to identify them as early as possible in the semester. The objective of this study was to create a model to predict student performance in FDSC 4304, the required capstone Food Chemistry class, using academic performance in prerequisite courses as potential predictors.…

Andrews, Da'Mon; Tolman, Steven – Georgia Journal of College Student Affairs, 2021
The purpose of this study was to determine predictors of community college student academic success in corequisite English and mathematics courses. Academic success was defined dichotomously on a pass or fail basis. The population included 1,934 students enrolled in at least one corequisite English and/or mathematics course at a community college…

Ha, Hye Seung – English Teaching, 2019
Lexical richness makes an important contribution to L2 writing quality. To explore its importance, the study aims to identify and explain how lexical richness manifests in argumentative essays written in the final exam of reading and writing class by thirty-five undergraduates. The lexical richness consists of four interrelated elements: lexical…
