Hagedorn, Linda Serra; Zhang, Yi – Journal of Studies in International Education, 2011
An education agent is a third-party entity who is paid to assist a student to find, apply to, and/or prepare for college. In China, agents are often hired to assist students in finding an international institution fitting their academic goals. Although using an agent has been a common practice in China, there is virtually no research regarding the…

Anchor, John R.; Fiserova, Jana; Marsikova, Katerina; Urbanek, Vaclav – Economics of Education Review, 2011
In this paper, the short-cut method is used to estimate expected rates of financial returns to higher education in the Czech Republic and a modified version of the method is used to suit the current English system of deferred tuition fees. First year university students were asked to estimate their expected earnings with and without a university…

Hagedorn, Linda Serra; Zhang, Yi – Center for Enrollment Research, Policy, and Practice, 2010
International student mobility is a rapidly growing and evolving phenomenon. During the 2008/09 academic year, the number of international students at colleges and universities in the U.S. increased by 8% to a record high of 671,616 students with about 15% from mainland China. The model of college choice for Chinese students who are considering…

Jones, Dennis P.; Wellman, Jane – National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NJ3), 2009
Clearly, changing postsecondary finance without a lot of new money to grease the skids will be difficult. The status quo is always easier than change, particularly change that will be objectionable to those who benefited most in the previous system. But political objections aren't the only barrier to changing funding in higher education; a…

Thompson, John D.; And Others – Journal of Medical Education, 1978
A methodology is outlined that can be used by teaching hospitals in determining their costs of treating patients with a complex mix of diagnoses. It is not held that case mix alone explains all cost differences between teaching and nonteaching hospitals, but that factor must be isolated before examining other variables. (Author/LBH)

Yates, Andrew J. – Journal of Economic Education, 1998
Maintains that the equal marginal value principle may not be optimal in the analysis of the cost-effectiveness of policies to reduce auto emissions, the economics of garbage disposal, and the economics of pollution abatement. Argues that examining these exceptions can help students understand the equal marginal value principle. (MJP)

Bosshardt, William – Journal of Economic Education, 2004
Many studies have identified factors that contribute to success in economics principles courses, but few have examined the causes and effects of student drops and failure. The author follows 239 students through their economic principles course and tracks the students in the year after the course. The author constructs a model predicting student…

Woodman, William F. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1979
The view of Etzioni, that member socialization and communication tend to define orientations toward consensus (and in turn role performance) was tested using students in a college classroom. The Etzioni model was moderately predictive of role performance, while addition of a cost-benefits factor boosted explained variation. (Author/GDC)

Mead, Arthur C. – Journal of Economic Education, 1998
Describes class exercises where undergraduates construct and test mathematical models using data and issues related to social security. The students collect data and forecast economic and demographic variables that determine future tax rates. They then discuss government policies that are derived from their models. (MJP)

Confined to existing monetary and human resources, the Navy's Postgraduate Selection Board is responsible for selecting officers for graduate education who will both perform well and develop skills applicable to later Navy billets. Although different methods have been employed for this selection process, most decisions have been based on officer…

Directed primarily at the University of Mid-America (UMA) as a specific program to be evaluated, this report sets forth criteria that can also be applied to other nontraditional educational programs and other programs in general. In a section on terminology, definitions are offered for criteria, standards, indicators, measures, success, and open…

Advanced Technology, Inc., Reston, VA. – 1982
The development of a number of error-prone models to select Pell Grant recipients for validation is discussed. The 1983-1984 Pell Grant validation strategy consists of a two-stage approach: selection using Pre-Established Criteria (PEC) followed by selection using Error Prone Modeling (EPM). The database used for model development consists of a…
