This study explored the experiences and coping strategies of mature students who completed an Access course and transitioned into university health profession programs. Semi-structured questionnaires were sent to 50 Access students, with a 50% response rate. Follow up focus groups and interviews provided additional insights. The majority of respondents were female students balancing family, work, and study commitments. Key coping strategies included developing academic skills and peer networks through Access courses. Support from family and intrinsic motivations to change careers helped students overcome challenges like financial barriers and time constraints. The research highlights how Access courses equip mature students with skills for university success and the importance of institutional support that recognizes their dual roles and responsibilities.
This document discusses the health issues facing international students and how universities and health insurers can better support student health. It notes that international students face cultural and lifestyle changes that impact their health. Common student health problems include sexual health issues, stress, poor nutrition, and lack of health literacy. The document proposes that Bupa, as a health insurer, can form partnerships with universities to implement health and wellness programs addressing these issues. Such programs could see benefits like lower medical claims and higher student attendance. Universities could also differentiate themselves by offering extensive student health services and advice.

The intersection of community engagement, research, and interactive technology is an innovative way for youth to develop leadership and 21st century skills. The California Adolescent Health Collaborative and community health clinic partners, Livingston Community Health and Asian Health Services, developed Project PARTNER, where youth in rural and urban communities learn critical thinking, problem solving, and collaborative processes through researching community health issues. \n\nYouth and adult allies from the health clinics were recruited to be members of a cross-generational and cross-regional community advisory board and were trained in research methodology. The online educational technology platform Kahoot!, and the mobile app Kahoot!, were utilized in training members on research fundamentals. The advisory boards then developed community surveys through Google Forms and utilized its mobile app feature to canvas neighborhoods to obtain community data. With data collected, they will develop research questions and participate in collaborative cross-site activities to support their research.
The purpose of the study is to understand parents' interest in engaging with career development programs to help prepare college students for the workforce. An online survey was distributed to parents of current and past Arizona State University students to gain insight into their curiosity about Career Services. Key findings include that most parents were unfamiliar with Career Services resources and agreed that parents should be involved in students' career development. Parents expressed highest interest in opportunities like job shadowing and informative interviews. The study concludes that parents are an underutilized resource that could help close the gap between graduation and workforce entry by implementing new career preparation initiatives with parent involvement.

Adult Learners Who Are They And What Do They WantNiki Perkins
This document provides an overview of a study examining the characteristics and career goals of adult learners. It analyzes survey responses from nearly 12,000 adult learners at 11 colleges and universities. Key findings include:
1) Adult learners surveyed were on average 38 years old, mostly white women. Many were married or financially independent.
2) Personal satisfaction and attaining life goals were the primary reasons for attending college, rather than job advancement.
3) Adult learners reported lower feelings of superiority than traditional college students. They received strong family support for their education.
4) Most adult learners felt they had clear career objectives and plans, though those with only high school degrees were less clear.
The document discusses whether career and technical high schools (CTE) are an effective entry point for early childhood education careers. It analyzes surveys of CTE teachers/administrators and students who earned a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential in high school. The surveys found that CTE programs are capable of creating pathways to the field and that earning a CDA in high school encourages continued education. However, challenges remain around varying training standards, lack of funding, and low compensation for early childhood educators. Overall, the CDA credential appears well-aligned with recommendations to improve the early childhood workforce.

Professionally, it provides just-in-time advice on issues like time management, relationships, careers and mental health. Students are more likely to read posts and comment than initiate their own posts. Engagement supports professional development by enhancing knowledge of funding and careers, implementing strategies, and potentially finding future collaborators.
Unfinished: Insights From Ongoing Work to Accelerate Outcomes for Students Wi...Jeremy Knight
Despite some gains over the past 20 years, significant numbers of students are not meeting grade-level expectations as defined by performance on academic assessments. Meanwhile, few schools are able to support the sort of accelerated academic learning needed to catch students up to grade-level expectations.
Evidence indicates this is not for lack of educator commitment or dedication. Instead, many educators lack clarity about how to help students catch up. Common messages about holding a high bar for academic rigor and personalizing learning to meet students where they are can be perceived as being at odds with one another.
“Unfinished: Insights From Ongoing Work to Accelerate Outcomes for Students With Learning Gaps” synthesizes a broad body of research on the science of learning in order to inform efforts to help students close gaps and meet grade-level expectations. This deck argues that helping students catch up is not about rigor or personalization — classrooms need both.
Closing learning gaps requires students to be motivated and engaged to grapple with challenging, grade-level skills and knowledge — while also having their individual learning needs met.
The report identifies what must happen among educators, systems-level leaders, teacher developers, instructional materials providers, and technology experts to move beyond the dichotomy of “rigor versus personalization” and toward a future that effectively blends the two.
The document discusses educational reforms in India. It outlines some key reforms such as abolishing pass/fail until 8th grade, introducing a grading system, smart classrooms, and distance education. It analyzes the merits and demerits of these reforms. The document also discusses the importance of education and emerging fields of study. Suggested developments include reducing rote learning and respecting all academic streams.
YouthTruth Learning From Student Voice Academic RigorSophie Beiers
The document summarizes data from a survey of nearly 183,000 public school students in grades 3 through 12 about their experiences with academic rigor. The key findings are:
1) The majority of students feel challenged by their coursework and teachers and believe they must work hard to get good grades, though this decreases as grade level increases.
2) Fewer students feel that the work they do is meaningful or helps them understand the subject. Around 60% agree assignments help them learn.
3) As students progress through grades, fewer feel supported in their learning - only around half of high schoolers feel teachers don't let them give up when work is hard.
This document summarizes research on factors that influence student retention and departure from college. It discusses that retention is influenced by a variety of individual, institutional, academic, social, family, and economic factors. Sense of belonging, relationships, academic and social integration, parental education, socioeconomic status, external job prospects, and the level of academic and social support all impact whether a student stays in or leaves college. Different degree programs also have varying retention rates, with undergraduate degrees generally having higher retention than graduate degrees.

A Study Of Malaysian High School Leavers Dilemma In Choosing Varsity CoursesLori Moore
This study explores the factors that influence Malaysian high school students' choices in university courses. Three main factors were identified: personal, interpersonal, and environmental. A survey of 50 students in the Klang Valley found that personal factors, such as interests and skills, had the strongest influence. Environmental factors, like parental occupation, were also influential. Interpersonal factors, such as peer influence, mattered least. The study aims to help students make course choices aligned with their abilities to reduce dropout rates and improve employment outcomes. It recommends exploring students' cognitive skills and passions to guide decision-making.
The document discusses the impact of mentoring on academically at-risk students and their academic outcomes. It summarizes several studies that found mentoring can positively impact students' attitudes, behaviors, and academic performance by improving relationships with teachers and parents and boosting academic self-confidence. However, one large study found no significant impacts of mentoring on academic achievement, engagement, or behavior. The effects of mentoring depend on characteristics of the students, mentors, and program context. The document also provides resources for mentors and an overview of a K-12 journey map for college and career planning.
This document summarizes a presentation on models for adult student success. It discusses barriers adult students face such as financial issues, work obligations, and lack of support systems. It also presents promising practices identified by the Non-Traditional No More project, such as prior learning assessment, flexible course scheduling, and targeted advising. The Connecticut Distance Learning Consortium's collaborative tutoring model and CAEL's Learning Counts prior learning assessment center are also summarized as examples of programs supporting adult students.
Attendance and student performance arp (1)Cindy Paynter
The document presents research on the relationship between student attendance and academic performance. It finds that students with higher absenteeism, defined as missing 18 or more days of school, performed at lower levels on standardized tests than students who missed 7 or fewer days. Specifically, higher percentages of chronically absent students scored at the novice level in science and social studies assessments compared to their regularly attending peers. The author concludes that attendance impacts student achievement and that the school needs to implement strategies to improve attendance in order to help more students succeed academically.

InsideTrack: Addressing the 5 truths of Higher EducationInsideTrack
This document discusses 5 truths about higher education: 1) Higher education is essential for society and the economy. 2) Only about half of college students graduate within 6 years. 3) The student body has become more diverse with more non-traditional students. 4) Colleges need to increase graduation rates while lowering costs. 5) Most graduates lack skills employers need. It then discusses how coaching can help address these issues by improving student outcomes like retention and completion at a lower cost than other methods. Coaching helps students develop soft skills and manages the actual reasons students leave college like financial issues rather than academics.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
