This study uses cultural capital theory as an analytical frame to investigate first-generation students' sense of belonging at university. The purpose of this study was to examine first-year students' perceptions of their sense of belonging by exploring the extent that they perceive a sense of belonging, whether they perceive barriers to their…

The purpose of this case study was to examine student experiences within an established guided pathways model program that integrated a system of student support to increase on-time graduation rates. Four research questions guided the investigation: (1) How did the participants describe the college's approach to helping students enter an academic…

Much of the research on the faculty experience has focused on productivity, engagement, satisfaction, and well-being; however, no instrument or theoretical framework that contributes to an understanding of a faculty member's optimal psychological functioning--or thriving--currently exists. The purpose of this study was to address this gap in the…

A number of quality theories have been utilized to provide a framework or background for studies of online learning and instruction.

This paper examines some of the most prominent theories of online learning and…

Structural equation modeling (SEM) considering how students' non-cognitive attributes influence first-year college student persistence remain extraordinarily rare--as are studies that test and expand upon published structural models or studies that include college student food security. This study addresses each. We surveyed "Beginner"…
