“…Two major studies completed in the 1970s examined college dropouts and a variety of factors that may have contributed to students leaving the higher education system. Spady (1970) looked at environmental factors, while Kamens (1971) compared dropout rates to the size and prestige of the institution. These studies determined that there were higher dropout rates at larger institutions.…”

“…These studies determined that there were higher dropout rates at larger institutions. The large institutional experience was less personal because students had fewer opportunities to get to know the faculty teaching their courses (Kamens, 1971). He also found that students who attended a university that was perceived as more prestigious regarded their education as having more value thereby making them more employable.…”

“…He also found that students who attended a university that was perceived as more prestigious regarded their education as having more value thereby making them more employable. Studies like those completed by Spady (1970) and Kamens (1971) led institutions to be more strategic in their enrollment practices. Universities worked to select students with more academic and social preparedness, specifically students with research and writing practice, which were more likely to graduate (Berger & Lyon, 2005).…”

This learning analytics study looked at the various student characteristics of all on-campus students who were enrolled in 100 and 200 level courses that were offered in both online and face-to-face formats during a two-year period. There is a perception that online education is either not as successful as face-to-face instruction, or it is more difficult for students. The results of this study show this is not the case.The goal of this study was to complete an in-depth analysis of student profiles addressing a variety of demographic categories as well as several academic and course related variables to reveal any patterns for student success in either online or face-to-face courses as measured by final grade. There were large enough differences within different demographic and academic categories to be considered significant for the study population, but overwhelmingly, the most significant predictor of success was found to be past educational success, as reflected in a student's cumulative grade point average.Further analysis was completed on students who declared high school credit as their primary major based on significantly different levels of success. These students were concurrent enrollment students or those who completed college courses for both high school and university credit. Since most of these students were new to the university, they did not have a cumulative GPA, so other predictive factors were explored. The study concludes with recommendations for action based on the logistic regression prediction tool that resulted from the data analysis.

Educational research must play a critical role in informing practice and policy within pharmacy education. Understanding the educational environment and its impact on students, faculty members, and other stakeholders is imperative for improving outcomes and preparing pharmacy students to meet the needs of 21st century health care. To aid in the design and implementation of meaningful educational research within colleges and schools of pharmacy, this roadmap addresses philosophy and educational language; guidelines for the conduct of educational research; research design, including 4 approaches to defining, collecting, and analyzing educational data; measurement issues; ethical considerations; resources and tools; and the value of educational research in guiding curricular transformation.

“…Et on peut ajouter qu'inversement les strates sociales ne jouent pas le même rôle face à l'école privée. Les strates inférieure et moyenne se fiant à tort au mandat historique ment accordé à l'école privée quant à la formation de l'élite, y envoient leurs enfants (Ryan, 1966 ;Kamens, 1971). Conséquemment, elles financent l'école privée et lui assurent une clientèle suffisante pour se maintenir.…”
