Wofford, Annie M. – Research in Higher Education, 2021
Given the significant need to increase and diversify graduate enrollments within computing fields, it is vital to understand what shapes students' pathways to computing graduate school. This study examines the predictors of undergraduate students' self-confidence in being admitted to computing graduate school among students who enrolled in an…

Netz, Nicolai; Jaksztat, Steffen – Research in Higher Education, 2017
We identify factors influencing young scientists' plans for research stays abroad by embedding theories of social inequality, educational decision making, and migration into a life course framework. We test the developed model of international academic mobility by calculating a structural equation model using data from an online survey of…

Tempelaar, Dirk T.; van der Loeff, Sybrand Schim; Gijselaers, Wim H.; Nijhuis, Jan F. H. – Research in Higher Education, 2011
Student achievement motivations are crucial in learning in two ways: as a determinant and an aim of learning. In this study, we focus on two related questions with regard to achievement motivations: to what extent are they subject-specific, and to what extent are they malleable? Answers to both questions are especially important when aiming to…

Bryant, Alyssa N. – Research in Higher Education, 2011
Based upon a national longitudinal dataset of 14,527 college students generated by the UCLA Spirituality in Higher Education Project, this study used structural equation modeling to test the applicability of a model of ecumenical worldview development for students of diverse genders, races, and worldviews. The model suggests that challenging…
