“…Improving this relationship can have positive and long-lasting implications on students' academic and social development and can support students in attaining higher levels of achievement (Adeyele and Yusuff 2012;Lasky and Estes 2009;Lessard et al 2010). As a result, students show more engagement with their learning and perform better academically.…”

The influence of online resources on student–lecturer relationship in higher education: a comparison study

The internet has become a key resource for students' higher education studies due to both its availability and currency. Previously within higher education, lectures, books and course materials were the only sources of information. This change, to more open access to information and more online materials being accessed outside of those provided by lecturers, and indeed institutions, is likely to accelerate and change the way students are learning. This study aims to help institutions understand better the impact of these changes on the student-lecturer relationship by exploring students' perceptions of their studies in terms of power and students' academic engagement in the classroom. The importance of the internet (online learning resources) to students' achievements, the importance of lecturers and the student-lecturer relationship have all been widely investigated. However, limited research has been undertaken examining the impact of students' use of the internet on the student-lecturer relationship, or comparing this across different countries and cultures. To address this, data were collected via semistructured questionnaires distributed to undergraduate students from three countries: United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia and Kenya. Quantitative data were analysed using a simple statistical analysis approach and qualitative data were analysed using a thematic analysis approach. The results showed that students' use of the internet has improved students' academic self-confidence, academic self-reliance and studentlecturer connectedness, but students' use of the internet has increased the gap in the student-lecturer expert relationship and referent relationship. The impact and reasons for this differed between the countries involved in this study.

Objective. This study evaluated the association between high school dropout and six dimensions of school climate. Method. The sample consisted of 638 tenth graders who participated in the Healthy Teens Longitudinal Study. Participants attended school in Northeast Georgia, United States of America; they were surveyed even if they dropped out of school. Information about dropout was obtained through twelfth grade. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of dropout. Results. More boys (22.1%) than girls (14.4%) dropped out of school. Compared to students who remained in school, students who dropped out of school reported significantly higher overt and relational peer victimization and lower positive relationships with peers, school connectedness, caring adults at school, and meaningful participation in school. In the logistic regression model, male gender (AOR = 1.68) and relational victimization (AOR = 1.51) increased the odds of dropping out, and school connectedness (AOR = 0.78) and the presence of a caring adult at school (AOR = 0.73) decreased odds of dropping out. Conclusion. The dimensions of school climate in tenth grade were associated with the decision to abandon or persist in school. Its multiple dimensions can guide educators to develop programs and practices to reduce high school dropout.Keywords. School climate, bullying, dropout, adolescents. Ambiente escolar asociado con la deserción de los alumnos de décimo grado ResumenObjetivo. El estudio evaluó la asociación entre los desertores de bachillerato y seis dimensiones de ambiente escolar. Método. La muestra consistía en 638 estudiantes de décimo grado quienes participaron en el Estudio Longitudinal de Adolescentes Saludables. Los estudiantes iban al colegio al Noreste de Georgia, Estados Unidos; eran encuestados aún si desertaban del colegio. La información relacionada con la deserción se obtiene en grado doce. Se utilizó la regresión logística para identificar indicadores de deserción. Resultados. Más niños (22.1%) que niñas (14.4%) desertaron del colegio. Comparado con los estudiantes que permanecieron en el colegio, los que desertaron mostraron un alto nivel de muestra de victimización relacional con sus pares y menos relaciones positivas con estos, poca conexión con el colegio, menos relación con un adulto protector PAMELA ORPINAS Y KATHERINE RACZYNSKI10 dentro del mismo y menos participación significativa. En el modelo de logística regresiva, el género masculino (AOR = 1.68) y victimización relacional (AOR = 1.51) aumentaron las probabilidades de desertar, mientras que la conexión con el colegio (AOR = 0.78) y la presencia de una adulto protector (AOR = 0.73) disminuyen las posibilidades de la deserción. Conclusión. Las dimensiones del ambiente escolar en décimo grado fueron asociadas con la decisión de abandonar o persistir en el colegio. Sus múltiples dimensiones pueden llevar a los educadores a desarrollar programas y prácticas para reducir la deserción en bachillerato. , e a conexão com a escola (AOR = 0.78) e a presença...
