Entry qualification scores and earlier academic achievements are the quality attributes of learners. Studying those in correlation and as predictor of their academic achievement in undergraduate and postgraduate levels is valuable for students, universities and academicians. The present research was undertaken with the purpose to determine…

Business students are increasingly taking online courses to supplement their more traditional face-to-face (F2F) course-delivered education. This study explored the relationship of demographic, curricula, and motivation variables on business school transfer intent for a mixed course delivery sample of undergraduate business students taking online…

Despite the overwhelming evidence that higher education data are nested at various levels, single-level techniques such as regression and analysis of variance are commonly used to investigate student outcomes. This is problematic as a mismatch in methodology and research questions can lead to biased parameter estimates. The purpose of this study…

Poor academic performance is challenging for students, parents, and teachers. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the factors associated with the poor academic performance of 661 undergraduate students who scored CGPA [less than or equal to]2.5 from a selected private university of Dhaka City, Bangladesh, using a simple random sampling…

In this study, the purposes of this research were to study and compare knowledge about waste and sewage management, environmental ethics and environmental volunteers using question and problems-based learning, before and after class of undergraduate students, to compare knowledge about waste and sewage management, environmental ethics and the…

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the mass shutdown of universities across the United States in the spring of 2020. As the pandemic progressed, regional regulations resulted in a broad range of teaching modalities for the 2020-2021 academic year. While some regions remained tightly locked down (resulting in online-only instruction), others allowed…

As online enrollment increases in the United States, it is important to understand the impact of course modality on student outcomes. In particular, there has been limited research on the effect of course enrollment at Hispanic-serving institutions (HSI). The current study evaluated the effect of online course enrollment on student grades and on…

The partnership model in which universities collaborate with community colleges for the prelicensure Bachelor of Science (BSN) education has been identified by the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) as one of five viable academic progression models for nursing. The current literature lacks evidence on the success of these academic progression…

In response to increasing demand for the need for highly effective teachers, numerous pathways to teacher certification have emerged. Consequently, teacher residencies as an alternative route to certification have grown in number and scale across the country. Due to the recent growth and expansion of teacher residencies, there is limited research…

While most students who seek academic support succeed in their courses, some still fail or withdraw. What can we learn about them? In this study, 6,299 undergraduates were enrolled in courses supported with Supplemental Instruction (SI), a form of peer-facilitated academic support open to students in challenging courses. Mean final course grades…

Student grade prediction is a popular task for learning analytics, given grades are the traditional form of student performance. However, no matter the learning environment, student background, or domain content, there are things in common across most experiences in learning. In most previous machine learning models, previous grades are considered…

Based on several regression specifications that control for a host of covariates, this article demonstrates that the quantity of undergraduate research experience was by far the most important determinant for increased graduation rates at a 100% Hispanic-serving institution. Our finding also shows a causal relationship confirmed by propensity…

This study examines high school preparation measures [ACT/SAT scores, high school grade point average (HSGPA), and conceptual physics pretest scores], in-class behavior measures (homework submission rates and lecture attendance rates), and in-class achievement measures (homework and test averages) for the last two fully face-to-face prepandemic…

Objective: Negative perceptions of institutional racial climate relate to worse mental health outcomes for Black college students. Yet, few scholars have considered how Black students' perceptions of the institutional climate for other underrepresented groups may impact mental health. Participants and Methods: We drew on a national sample of Black…

Purpose: This study was driven by the interest of public health students in learning how COVID-19 has impacted student life. Specifically examined were students' experiences and preferences with modes of education during the pandemic, influence of COVID on students' mental and physical health, impact on employment and future careers, and thoughts…
