Persistence of Women in Online Degree-Completion Programs

Abstract: Although online courses at postsecondary institutions promise adults access, flexibility, and convenience, many barriers to online learning remain. This article presents findings from a qualitative case study, which explored the phenomenon of undergraduate and graduate women learners' persistence in online degree-completion programs at a college in the Northeast of the United States. Research questions asked why women learners persisted or failed to persist, and how factors supporting or hindering persistence … Show more

“…Women (80% of participants) are more favourably disposed to watching videos between classes than men (Means: 3.73 and 3.37; SDs: 0.68 and 0.93, respectively; Cohen's d = 0.44). This reinforces findings in other studies showing that women prefer a-synchronous online study because it allows them to balance family and scholastic commitments more easily (Müller, 2008). Next, a partial correlation between the assessment of watching videos between classes and the variable of employment, controlling for the gender variable, was calculated.…”

“…Additionally, however, it was found that women students had a more positive view of the technique than male students did. A possible reason for women's preference of an asynchronic online activity is that it gives them flexibility in balancing family and scholastic responsibilities (Müller, 2008). Finally, older students were more likely than younger ones to favour the flipped classroom approach.…”

“…İlgi ve istekli olmak, kişisel beklentiler, keyif almak ve içsel güdülenme başarıyı tetikleyici faktörler olarak kabul edilmektedir (Bunn, 2004;Holder, 2007;Ivankova ve Stick, 2005;Kemp, 2002, Müller, 2008Park ve Choi, 2009;Parker, 2003). Bu çalışmada ortaya çıkan içsel kontrol odağı boyutundaki atıflar yükleme kuramı üzerine yapılmış bir çok araştırmada da vurgulandığı üzere başarı durumunda sıkça rastlan 'çaba', 'ilgi' ve 'istek' yüklemeleri ile örtüşmektedir (Dong, Stupnisky ve Berry, 2013;Gobel, Mori, Thang, Kan ve Lee, 2011;Killen, 1994;Williams, Burden, Poulet ve Maun, 2004).…”

“…그들은 교육기관의 지원과 더불어 교육의 질, 시 간표, 학습 환경에 대한 만족 여부가 학습지속과 관련 있는 변인이라고 하였다. Levy [33] 는 교육에 대해 높은 만족감을 보인 집단이 그렇지 않은 집단에 비해 학습을 더욱 지속하고 있음을 제시하여 만족도에 따라 학습지 속여부가 결정된다고 하였고, Müller [18] 는 [23] 의 결과와 일치하 였다. 또한 Rubinstein, Lubben과 Mintzer [24] , Seth와 Mary [12] 의 연구와도 맥을 같이 한다.…”

“…대표적인 학습 성과 변인으로 연구 되는 만족도는, 많은 선행연구에서 학습지속의향과의 긍정적 관계가 규명된 바 [3,16] , 만족도가 학습지속의향에 영향을 미치는 변인임을 확인할 수 있다. [17] 은 학습지속을 현재 학습을 지속하고자 하는 의지로 정의하였으며, Müller [18] 만족도는 학습자들의 교육경험에 대한 주관적인 반 응을 살펴보는 것으로 [19] , 학습성과를 측정하기 위해 가 장 널리 사용되는 첫 번째 지표이다. 사이버학습 환경 에서는 학습자가 스스로 주체성을 가지고 학습해야 하 므로, 학습자는 교육에 대한 만족도가 높으면 자신의 학습에 적극적으로 참여하려 하고, 학습목표 달성과 같 은 성과를 이루고자 노력한다 [16] .…”
