“…Because of these contextual realities and perceptional differences between people from rural and non-rural settings, we may argue that education could be modified to adapt more to people in each context. In fact, as Walker-Gibbs et al (2015, p. 81) indicated, rural education has traditionally assumed arguments of “isolation, distance and size, and what it means to be a teacher in a rural context” differ from the education in non-rural areas. These assumptions indicate that there could be different pedagogical approaches when teaching in a rural or non-rural context or when teaching students that identify as rural or non-rural.…”

Enterprise-level small businesses have been a critical contributor to the U.S. economy and employment. Small businesses accounted for 67% of the net new jobs during the recovery from the 2009 to 2011 economic recession. Recognizing the employment opportunities from enterprise-level small businesses during the high unemployment time allowed higher education institutions to emphasize enhancing entrepreneurship among their students. Multiple scholars have called for more in-depth evaluations on entrepreneurial intention because it predicts whether a student will become an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurial orientation (risk-taking, innovation, and proactive) is the commonly agreeable antecedent of entrepreneurial intentions. This study collected 315 valid responses from a comprehensive mid-U.S. university with more than 40% enrollment from rural communities to evaluate how the perceived internal and external barriers influence students’ entrepreneurial orientations. The results of the Multivariate Regression Analysis indicated that overall, how students perceived internal and external barriers influenced their entrepreneurial orientations in both innovativeness and risk-taking aspects. Furthermore, entrepreneurship is particularly important in the rural community. The results revealed significant differences between students who were raised in rural areas and those who were not raised in rural areas regarding how perceived internal and external barriers impact their entrepreneurship orientations.

“…The program did not provide appropriate theoretical tools for teachers to reflect on their personal and professional performance. The participants pointed out that there was a gap between the theory and its practice in terms of the program's curriculum design (Corbett, 2016;Walker-Gibbs, Ludecke & Kline, 2015;White & Kline, 2012). Other points that contributed to the lack of practicalities in the fields are the implementation of metro-centric theories (Green, 2013), the absence of place-based approaches in both curriculum and lesson plans (Gruenewald, 2003;Lamb, Glover & Walstab, 2014), misconceptions of rural representations (Cuervo, 2012), and the inadequate duration of the required practical learning (Halsey, 2006;Roberts, 2004).…”

Due to a lack of continual assessment or grade related data, identifying first-year engineering students in a polytechnic education at risk of failing Engineering Physics is challenging. Our experience over the years tells us that there is no strong correlation between having good entry grades in Mathematics and the Sciences and excelling in hard-core engineering subjects. Hence, identifying students at risk of failing cannot be on the basis of entry grades in Mathematics and the Sciences alone. These factors compound the difficulty of early identification and intervention. In this paper, we describe the development of a predictive analytics model in early detection of students at risk of failing and evaluates its effectiveness. Data from continual assessments conducted in term one, supplemented by data of student psychological profiles such as interests and study habits, were used. Three classification techniques, namely Logistic Regression, K Nearest Neighbour, and Random Forest, were used in our predictive model. Based on our findings, Random Forest was determined to be the strongest predictor with an Area Under the Curve (AUC) value of 0.994. Correspondingly, its Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F-Score were also highest among these three classifiers. Using this Random Forest Classification technique, students at risk of failing could be identified at the end of term one. They could then be assigned to a Learning Support Programme at the beginning term two. This paper gathers the results of our findings. It also proposes further improvements that can be made to the model.

“…Beyond that, teacher education as an academic discipline needs a much more robust research agenda with regard to rural education. We need increased engagement to both better understand how to serve rural schools, as well to better prepare preservice teachers for the pedagogy of the rural (Walker-Gibbs, Ludecke, & Kline, 2015). Recruiting and retaining highly qualified teachers in rural settings has been an ongoing challenge (Azano & Stewart, 2015), and only amplified by the COVID-19 Pandemic (Wang, Tigelaar, & Admiraal, 2021).…”
