Victor, Jeffrey R. "The Development of Student Organization Advisor Workforces through the Expansion of Strategic Talent Management Practices." Thesis, University of Maryland University College, 2019. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=13424162.
Full textAbstract:
<p> The purpose of this study is to provide managers in both educational institutions and student organizations with empirically-based recommendations for how to best manage student organization workforces to achieve engagement and retention. The research questions ask (a) how educational institutions and student organizations strategically manage advisor talent to attract, engage, and retain advisors in their roles and (b) what talent management strategies can be applied to sustain a competent, satisfied, and engaged student organization advisor workforce. Through a systematic review methodology with an evidence-based management perspective to configure the best available evidence for synthesis, this dissertation incorporates organizational citizenship theory, the functional theory of volunteerism, and strategic talent management theory to reach the conclusions. Study findings confirm that student organization advisor service is linked to all elements of the functional theory of volunteerism but is primarily motivated by the values function first and then the career functions. Furthermore, student organization advisor service is a form of organizational citizenship behavior, and the values function of volunteerism is the antecedent to service as an advisor. Finally, it was determined that strategic talent management practices can be applied to student organization advisors, but such practices are not being implemented by key stakeholders. A theoretical model of advisor involvement and suggestions for implementation are presented to address this gap in practice. As a result of these findings, a model for practice that incorporates key strategic talent management practices to address fundamental advisor needs has been developed with an evidence-based blueprint for implementation.</p><p>

Chen, Ming-Yao. "Physical education and special educational needs with special reference to individuals with physical disabilities : a comparative study of policy implementation in Taiwan and England." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2007. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/14574.
Full textAbstract:
Physical education (PE) for pupils with special educational needs (SEN) is an important contemporary issue for primary teachers and other practitioners. In particular, how they are to include pupils with SEN in their classroom activity is a processing concern. This study is concerned essentially with how policy influences the ability of teachers to deal with SEN' pupils in PE. It explores the relationships between education policy on SEN and its implementation within PE when SEN pupils are placed in mainstream school settings. The main aims of this thesis are to explore how 'equality' and 'inclusion' are expressed in legislation, for example the National Curriculum in England and the Grade 1- 9 Curriculum Guidelines in Taiwan, and how teachers, local education authority (LEA) Advisors, pupils with physical disability and their parents interpret policy and engage in practice for SEN. The findings of the study are intended to provide guidance on education policy needed to promote 'inclusion' and connect SEN policy and its implementation within PE. This thesis develops and utilizes a theoretical model to illustrate the 'flow' of policy from government to schools. This framework has followed Bernstein's (1990) assertion that knowledge is produced and reproduced at different sites of practice and that 'discourses' are recontextualized in each. Qualitative research methods were used to explore these relationships. The research fields were located in the Midlands in England and in the North of Taiwan and investigate LEAs and primary schools. The research employed interviews, documentary analysis and observation to explore policy and its implementation for SEN pupils from not only a 'macro' but also a 'micro' perspective. Accordingly, this thesis has explored the relationships between teachers, the learning support assistants (LSA), pupils with physical disability and their activities in PE classrooms in order to throw light on processes of inclusion within PE and the difficulties associated with policy implementation for pupils with physical disability. The findings suggest that the implementation of SEN policy within PE was driven by ideals of inclusion and attempted to achieve equality. However, SEN policy and its implementation was rendered difficult by the production and reproduction of particular understandings of inclusion, and inadequate provision (training and resource) for teachers to deal with SEN pupils in PE. Compared with teachers in England, PE teachers in Taiwan seemed to be more 'able' to include SEN pupils in PE as they were less regulated by National Curriculum texts.

Sheehy, Brittany N. "Support Received from the Dissertation Advisor and the Graduate Student Success of Doctoral Students Majoring in the Sciences." Scholar Commons, 2019. https://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/7937.
Full textAbstract:
This quantitative study utilized surveys to explore how science doctoral students receive support from their dissertation advisors and its relationship to graduate student success outcomes. The survey was distributed to active doctoral students majoring in the sciences at one large, public, Southeastern University. Within examining how the support science doctoral students receives relates to graduate student success outcomes, the study also examined additional factors that could influence graduate student success such as the participant size of the laboratory group, experience with undergraduate research, and time in program.
Findings revealed that on average science doctoral students report receiving more psychosocial support than career support. Students who reported higher levels of satisfaction with their laboratory group and those who had female advisors, were more likely to report receiving higher levels of psychosocial support. Also, students who reported higher levels of satisfaction with their laboratory group and having a female advisor, were more likely to report receiving higher levels of career support. Those students who had been the program longer, reported receiving less career support. This was also true for identification. The longer students were in the program, the less likely they would report identifying or wanting to emulate their advisor.
There was a statistically significant relationship between overall level of satisfaction with the advisor relationship and receiving career and psychosocial support. There was also a significant relationship between reporting high levels of satisfaction with the advisor relationship and reporting high levels of satisfaction with the laboratory group. Lastly, there was significance found between students reporting identifying with the advisor and expressing high levels of satisfaction with the advisor relationship. No statistically significant relationship was found between the levels of support received and number of academic benchmarks or scholarly works. There was also no statistically significant relationship found between levels of support or graduate student success outcomes with the number of participants in a laboratory group.
The study results indicated science doctoral students who have been the most successful at meeting graduate student success outcomes receive more psychosocial support from their advisors than career support. However, the more science students felt that their advisor was assisting them with career support, the more satisfaction they experienced with the overall advisor relationship. Advisors from other disciplines can look to increase the amounts of career support they provide to their students. Time in program was the only significant predictor of number of academic benchmarks met for science doctoral students. This needs to be explored in other disciplines given that most students in the sciences are only in the program for five to six years. The variable, scholarly works, was found to have two significant predictors, which were experience with undergraduate research and having had started the dissertation project. Undergraduate advisors and program directors from all disciplines should look to encourage their students who are interested in pursuing doctoral education to engage in undergraduate research as it will help them to progress more successfully through a graduate program. Doctoral advisors and program directors from all disciplines should look to create a curriculum that encourages students to start their research project as early as possible.
The level of satisfaction with the laboratory group was a significant predictor to the satisfaction with the advisor relationship, to receiving more career and psychosocial support, and to identifying the advisor more. Therefore, more research is needed regarding the influence of the laboratory group and graduate student success outcomes in the sciences. Overall, the results of the study provide insight as to how other disciplines and programs may improve their student success outcome rates by understanding some mechanisms that are contributing to the success of science doctoral students.

Este trabalho apresenta os resultados de uma investigação que buscou conhecer o trabalho do orientador pedagógico (OP) na rede do município de Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro. Especificamente, buscou-se responder as seguintes questões de pesquisa: (a) Quais os dispositivos legais que conformam a profissão do OP no município de Duque de Caxias?, (b) que atribuições são demandadas pela escola a este profissional? e (c) como o OP percebe o trabalho por ele desempenhado na escola? Para a realização da pesquisa, partimos de uma retrospectiva histórica da função deste profissional, por meio da análise de documentos legais (leis, decretos, pareceres e diretrizes), identificando marcos da constituição desta profissão. A pesquisa também fez uso de entrevistas a uma amostra de orientadores que atuam na rede escolar desse município, escolhidos de forma aleatória. As entrevistas foram analisadas segundo orientações de Bardin e visaram à identificação do modo como este profissional concebe a sua atuação no âmbito da orientação pedagógica na escola. Por meio de análise estatística aos dados dos diretores da Prova Brasil 2009, a pesquisa buscou ainda identificar, em uma perspectiva panorâmica, como a direção da escola percebe o trabalho do orientador pedagógico. A análise aos documentos evidenciou mudanças significativas na concepção e atuação do orientador pedagógico, ampliando sua atuação às questões da gestão escolar. As análises estatísticas evidenciaram que a maioria das escolas públicas brasileiras conta com o apoio de um orientador pedagógico e que o diretor escolar considera fundamental contar com tal profissional na unidade. As entrevistas evidenciaram que os orientadores pedagógicos se enxergam como um elemento de potencialidade nas escolas e colocam em destaque a necessidade de uma formação profissional que dê conta tanto dos aspectos políticos envolvidos na gestão educacional, como dos aspectos pedagógicos demandados pela escola<br>This paper presents the results of an investigation that sought to know the work of the instructional designer ( OP ) in the municipality of Duque de Caxias , Rio de Janeiro network. Specifically , we sought to answer the following research questions : ( a) What are the legal provisions that make the profession of OP in Duque de Caxias , ( b ) tasks that are demanded by the school to this professional ? and ( c ) as the OP realizes the work he performed in school ? To conduct the survey , we start from a historical overview of the role of this person , through the analysis of legal documents ( laws , decrees , opinions and guidelines ) , identifying landmarks of the constitution of this profession . The research also made use of interviews with a sample of counselors working in this county school system , chosen randomly. The interviews were analyzed according to Bardin and guidelines aimed at the identification of how this professional conceives its performance under the tutoring at school. Through statistical analysis to the data of the directors of Proof Brazil 2009, the survey also sought to identify , in a panoramic perspective as the school board realizes the work of the instructional designer . The analysis showed significant documents in the design and performance of the instructional designer changes , expanding its activities to issues of school management . Statistical analyzes showed that most of the Brazilian public school has the support of an educational supervisor and the school principal considers it vital to have such a professional in the unit . The interviews showed that the mentors see themselves as an element of potential schools and put emphasis on the need for training that takes into account both the political aspects involved in educational management as pedagogical aspects demanded by the school .

Full textAbstract:
U.S. doctoral program completion rates have remained persistently low in the humanities and biomedical sciences despite educators' efforts. A variety of factors, including stress and dissitation advisor-related issues, were associated with high attrition rates and extended time-to-degree for PhD candidates. The purpose of this correlational study was to examine relationships among life stressors, advisor-related factors, and time-to-degree for a convenience sample of 74 online social sciences doctoral degree holders. Holmes and Rahe's work on stress and Tinto's framework for education program attrition provided the framework for the study. Linear regression and Pearson's correlation statistics were used to examine the relationships between Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) scores, Advisor-Related Factor scores, and time-to-degree after controlling for covariates of age, ethnicity, and gender. Key findings included: a) SRRS significantly (p < .01) predicted time-to-degree after controlling for age, ethnicity, and gender; and b) no significant relationship was found between advisor-related factors. By identifying at-risk students, early intervention could reduce the time need to complete a PhD program and reduce financial and university resources required to finish. Doctoral program administrators could provide closer supervision with PhD candidates and make adjustments based on an accumulation of extraordinary stressors to help PhD candidiates adjust and finish their programs.

Whitworth, Patience. "Powerful Peers: Resident Advisors' Experience With Restorative Practices In College Residence Hall Settings." ScholarWorks @ UVM, 2016. http://scholarworks.uvm.edu/graddis/491.
Full textAbstract:
This study explores the implementation of Restorative Practices (Costello, Wachtel, & Wachtel, 2009) in a residential life program at a small public university. Narrative inquiry is used to explore the perspectives of eleven resident advisors (RAs) who have been trained in Restorative Practices (RP) and are using them in their residential communities. Participants were interviewed three times over the course of one academic year. The study illuminates the RAs' perspectives, growth and experiences with RP over that year. The findings demonstrate that RP may not only provide a structure for RAs to succeed within their challenging position, but may also encourage growth in a RAs' leadership capacity and abilities. This research also addresses how RAs conceptualize their position and role, including how they negotiate their dual, and sometime conflicting, roles of serving simultaneously as an authority figure and peer within the residence hall community, and how RAs benefit from and are challenged by implementing RP in their hall.
In addition to examining the RA role specifically, the study also addresses how RP can serve as a theoretical framework for preparing RAs for their work in residence halls and for supporting them throughout the year. Further, the research suggests that RP, as a framework for the RAs' work in the residence halls, can potentially transform the residential experience for both the residents and the RA. The result may be the creation of the kind of community experience that the research has shown contributes to the retention of students. Finally, this study concludes with identifying some of the issues that are important for Residential Life departments in a process of successfully implementing RP in college residential settings.

Full textAbstract:
The use of language interpreters is one method for providing information to parents who are culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) during meetings in schools. However, straight translation is often not enough. Diversity advisors are unique positions created to take on the role of becoming cultural brokers between the school and family as well as providing interpreting services. The purpose of this research was to explore the role of the diversity advisor within the context of an educational team that supports a student with a visual impairment who is also CLD. A focus group method was used to gather data from three groups on the learning team who had experience working with students with a visual impairment who are CLD: diversity advisors, classroom teachers and teachers of students with visual impairments (TVIs). Similar questions were asked of each group around perceptions of their role, interactions with other learning team members, and interactions with CLD families who have a child with a visual impairment. The transcribed data was analyzed using the thematic analysis approach to discover emerging themes, as well as areas for growth. Among the findings, common themes between the groups included a need for better role clarification, a desire for cultural understanding around visual impairment, continued communication and relationship building among team members, and the need to address concepts and terms that lose their original meaning when translated from one language to another. Potential solutions to improve interactions with other learning team members and professional development opportunities for diversity advisors in their work with families who are CLD with a child who has a visual impairment are discussed.<br>Education, Faculty of<br>Educational and Counselling Psychology, and Special Education (ECPS), Department of<br>Graduate

Full textAbstract:
Public education is a cornerstone of our democracy and social advancement. However, current Vermont graduation rates would indicate that public education at the high school level does not address the needs of all twenty-first century learners. Research has revealed that personalization and creating a connected environment are promising innovations for improving education for all students. One structure that supports personalization, high school advisory, provides each student with an adult advisor that knows them well through their high school years.
This research on high school advisory in Vermont was divided in two phases: 1) an assessment of the current state of advisory in all Vermont public high schools, and 2) a qualitative study that focused on the perceptions of students, advisors and administrators in 4 Vermont high schools with established advisory programs. In the second phase, a phenomenological framework was used to examine the perceptions of how advisory impacted academics, connectedness and the personalization of the high school experience. Document review, focus forum groups and interviews with the sixteen students, eight advisors and four administrators were conducted over a six-month period.
Findings demonstrated that 53 out of 62 high schools in Vermont had some form of advisory program. In the study of four schools, over two-thirds of the students perceived that their high school advisory positively impacted their academic achievement. Advisors and administrators were less clear about the impact, however. Furthermore student-to-student connectedness was described positively by three-quarters of the students. The connection between advisory and personalization of education was the least clear both among students and advisors. All administrators and three-quarters of the advisors felt that in the future, personalization would become an integral part of the advisory program with the advent of Vermont Act 77, the 2013 legislation that mandates personalized learning plans and multiple pathways to graduation. Finally, there was considerable agreement in three schools that a significant roadblock to implementing effective advisories was a lack of support for advisory in the following areas: purpose, time, training and materials.

Full textAbstract:
Face aux transformations sociales dont le rythme semble s’accélérer, le monde éducatif est constamment sollicité pour inventer de nouvelles manières de rencontrer les besoins qui en découlent. Une des réponses n’est autre que la création de nouveaux métiers tels que le conseil pédagogique dans lequel l’accompagnement semble occuper une place de choix.Le projet de cette recherche est de proposer une compréhension de l’activité d’accompagnement par le prisme des processus mentaux de conseillers pédagogiques de l’enseignement fondamental en Belgique francophone en situation d’entretien d’accompagnement de directions.Une approche constructiviste, marquée par le paradigme de l’activité dans son acceptation matérialiste et une démarche qualitative ont permis d’élaborer un outil d’analyse - les agirs mentaux –qui possède comme fonction de saisir l’activité mentale dans sa dimension processuelle. Croisé avec un outil issu d’une opérationnalisation des travaux de John Dewey sur l’enquête, cet outil tente de rendre compte des processus mentaux en croisant quatre composantes : a) les opérations de liaison entre les représentations des sujets, b) les intentions mobilisatrices de ces opérations de liaison, c) le format de communication du sujet avec lui-même et enfin d) la construction temporelle de son activité.Les principaux résultats sont de trois natures : 1) des résultats méthodologiques avec la création d’un outil de recueil de données (l’entretien de rétrospection), un outil d’analyse des processus mentaux (cité plus haut) et l’opérationnalisation d’un outil d’analyse de l’activité d’investigation que constitue « l’enquête » de John Dewey, 2) des résultats relatifs aux processus mentaux de conseillers pédagogiques en situation d’accompagnement de directions avec l’identification de configurations spécifiques d’agirs mentaux lors de certains actes posés par les CP et enfin 3) des résultats qui prennent la forme de pistes didactiques suite à un déplacement de posture de chercheur à formateur et qui permettent l’identification de la gestion de l’incertitude, structurellement instituée par les conseillers pédagogiques, comme fil conducteur de leur activité d’accompagnement<br>In today's world where the speed of social transformation seems to be ever increasing, the educational field is constantly called upon to come up with new ways to meet the new needs that arise. One of its answers has been nothing less than the creation of new professions such as educational counselling, where personal accompanying seems to hold a privileged position.The goal of this research project is to develop an understanding of the activity of accompanying through the prism of the mental processes of educational advisors in accompanying situations, specifically those advisors working in the field of basic education in the French-speaking part of Belgium.A constructivist approach, characterized by the activity paradigm in its materialist sense, coupled with a qualitative approach have led to the creation of an analytical tool - that of mental acts - whose function is to grasp mental activity in its processual dimension. Alongside a tool obtained by operationalizing John Dewey's work on inquiry, this tool aims to understand mental processes at the crossroads of four components: a) linking operations between subject representations, b) the mobilizing intentions of these linking operations, c) the communication format of the subject with himself, and finally d) the temporal construction of his activity.The main results fall into three categories: 1) methodological results culminating the in creation of a data gathering tool (the retrospective interview), a tool for the analysis of mental processes (mentioned above), and the operationalization of John Dewey's notion of inquiry as a tool for analysing investigative activity; 2) results relating to the mental processes of educational advisors in accompanying situations along with the identification of the specific configuration of mental acts that accompany certain actions undertaken by the advisors; 3) results in the form of pedagogical advice that follows from a shift in posture from that of researcher to that of trainer, one that allows for the identification of uncertainty management, structurally established by the educational advisors, as the guiding principle of their accompanying activity

Full textAbstract:
Health care consumers are under-represented in literature when defining patient and family engagement. The proportion of people living longer is rapidly growing. Future research is needed to evaluate which strategies of patient and family engagement are most useful in real-world health care settings for patient and families. The purpose of this study was to describe the lived experiences of patient/family advisors working within patient family advisory councils at an academic medical center in the Midwestern United States. The conceptual framework is based on Greenleaf's servant leadership and Bass's transformational leadership. The research questions examined how patient/family advisors describe patient and family engagement, their experiences from the advisor program, and what is most meaningful to them. A phenomenological design was employed with a purposeful sample of 19 interview respondents drawn from 5 different advisory councils. Data analysis consisted of interpretive phenomenological analysis and a detailed, in-depth account of participant experiences. Transcripts from semi structured face-to-face interviews were collected, coded, validated by member checking, and triangulated with emergent themes. Emergent themes included patient/family advisors' descriptions of patient and family engagement within the patient family advisory councils and organizational efforts most meaningful to patient/family advisors. The results of this study may help create social change by improving the standards and quality of patient and family engagement by preparing health care professionals to better meet the needs of health care consumers.

Full textAbstract:
La recherche se focalise sur le surveillant général qui faisait régner l’ordre dans les établissements secondaires français des XIXe et XXe siècles. Cet acteur scolaire a marqué l’imaginaire collectif en laissant une image de « surgé », implacable et répulsif, craint par les élèves. Le « surgé », symbole d’une discipline scolaire honnie, cristallise la critique plus large du « bagne universitaire » (Vallès). L’étude dégage les invariants des représentations littéraires, cinématographiques et iconographiques des surveillants généraux dont M. Viot de Daudet est le parangon. Le mythe du « surgé » survit à la disparition de ce fonctionnaire et à son remplacement, en 1970, par le conseiller principal d’éducation (CPE). Paradoxalement, le surveillant général, au regard des archives de l’Instruction publique, demeure un soldat inconnu de « l’Empire du milieu ». La deuxième partie de l’étude cerne le profil historique des surveillants généraux de l’académie de Lille (1847-1970). L’analyse, quantitative et qualitative, de 137 dossiers de carrière, versés aux archives nationales et départementales du Nord, permet d’identifier les attentes institutionnelles, d’approcher le quotidien du métier et la relation aux élèves Ce travail de prosopographie est complété par des entretiens avec d’anciens surveillants généraux et par l’étude de leur presse professionnelle. Enfin, d’autres sources (représentations du CPE, questionnaire auprès de CPE, rapports de stages, mémoires de concours, témoignages etc.) sont mobilisées pour déterminer si le changement d’appellation (CPE) recouvre une nouvelle professionnalité et percevoir en quoi le mythe du «surgé » fragilise l’identité professionnelle de cet éducateur et altère la division du travail éducatif dans les lycées et collèges<br>The subject of the research is the supervisor general, who played the role of disciplinarian in French secondary schools in the 19th and 20th centuries. This eminent figure in school life stamped on the collective mind the image of the heartless, loathsome “surgé”, much feared by students. As the symbol of a despised school disciplinary regime, the “surge” crystallizes the broader criticism of Vallès’ “academic sweatshop”. The study identifies the invariant features of the supervisor general as portrayed in literature, film and iconography, and as epitomized by Daudet’s Monsieur Viot. The myth of the “surgé” was to outlive the disappearance of the function and its replacement in 1970 by the position of chief advisor for education (CPE). Oddly enough, for the National Education archives, the supervisor general remains an unknown soldier of the “Middle Kingdom.”The second part of the paper focuses on the historical profile of the supervisors general of the Académie (educational authority) of Lille from 1847 to 1970. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of 137 career files, stored in the national archives and those of northern France, sheds light on institutional expectations, and offers insights into the job, day to day, and the relationship with students. This prosopographical section is supported by interviews with former supervisors general and by analysis of extracts from the profession’s press. Finally, other sources (perceptions of the CPE, questionnaires completed by CPEs, course reports, competitive exam reports, testimonies etc.) are examined in order to establish whether the new title (CPE) has given rise to a new professionalism, and to determine to what degree the myth of the “surgé” has weakened this educator’s sense of his own professional identity, thereby detracting from an efficient division of educational work in junior high schools and high schools

Full textAbstract:
The study has two central purposes: firstly, to undertake the first comprehensive analysis of a particular policy-making process, the Scottish Tertiary Education Advisory Council's work in the mid '80s on the future strategy of higher education in Scotland; and, secondly, to use the STEAC process as a case study to test the validity of three models of the policy-making process. Using the minutes and papers of the STEAC itself, the Scottish Office file on STEAC, institutional archive materials, contemporary press coverage, and official documents, the study examines the STEAC process from its inception to its culmination in ministerial decisions. It establishes the educational and political matrix from which the STEAC sprang, and it analyses the evidence submitted, the transactions of the Council itself, the public and professional reaction to the Council's recommendations, the government's subsequent legislative action, and its aftennath. Through that analytical sequence, the interplay of forces and the key determinants of policy are identified and an assessment made of the strategic significance of STEAC in the development of higher education in Scotland. The STEAC process, given its transparency and the fullness of its evidential base, is taken to be an appropriate context against which to test the validity of three models of the policy-making process: the policy community, incrementalism, and the Humes "revised model". It is concluded that the established notion of a homogeneous policy community, as an elitist alliance in collusion with government, is suspect; that incrementalism should give way to an alternative model for which the term "prudentialism" is proposed; and that, while the Humes model acknowledges the full complexity of social phenomena, its very diffuseness makes it insufficient by itself as a model for interpreting the policy-making process in education.

Object of the research is training of social educators. Through the analysis of this objective, the main research problem - training of a social educator as a vocational adviser – is considered. It consists of the following problem questions: what are the main operational characteristics and competences of a social educator as a vocational adviser, what should the structure of a social pedagogy study programme aimed at developing competences of a vocational adviser look like in order to ensure the interaction between all the parameters of a study programme and create the conditions for preparation of a specialist able of providing vocational guidance services and which factors of a social pedagogy study programme aimed at developing competences of a vocational adviser determine the acquisition of competences. Goal of the research: on the basis of the social pedagogy study programme, to justify (both from the theoretical and empiric point of view) a competences development model of a vocational adviser. From the theoretical point of view, this doctoral thesis research reveals theoretical assumptions for the activity of a social educator as a vocational adviser, operational characteristics and competences of a social educator as a vocational adviser, factors for the realisation of study programmes providing for the acquisition of competences and the methodology for the evaluation and assessment of competences based on the continuous reflection, self-evaluation and feedback and...

Doctor of Philosophy<br>Department of Special Education, Counseling and Student Affairs<br>Linda P. Thurston<br>Navigation and completion of a doctoral degree presents numerous challenges, including managing and understanding the faculty advisor/advisee relationship. Research shows faculty advisors are a critical aspect of the doctoral student experience; however faculty advisors and doctoral students do not always have the same perceptions of the advisor/advisee relationship. This study focused on measuring perceptions of faculty advisors and doctoral students in STEM and social science disciplines on various aspects of the advisor/advisee relationship. Likert-style survey items were used to measure perceptions of six constructs, advisor attributes and characteristics, roles and functions, relationship behaviors, and the faculty advisor role in student academic success, professional socialization, and engagement. Surveys were completed by 137 faculty advisors and 131 doctoral students. Analysis of data was conducted using various methods, including comparison of descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests, and a factorial analysis of variance. Results of the data analysis revealed some significant differences between the perceptions of faculty advisors and doctoral students on several constructs. The discussion of results focuses on connections to current literature, as well as implications for future research and practice.

This study is motivated by the need to look continually for ways to improve Griffith University’s learning assistance services so that they meet the changing needs of stakeholders and are at the same time cost-effective and efficient. This study uses the conceptual tools of cultural-historical activity theory and expansive visibilisation to investigate the development and transformation of learning assistance services at Griffith University, one of Australia's largest multi-campus universities. Cultural-historical activity is a powerful theoretical framework that acknowledges the importance of dimensions such as cultural context, local setting, collective understanding, and the influence of historical variables on interactions in settings. Expansive visibilisation is a practical four-stage process that was used in this study to make visible and analysable the work context of the Learning Assistance Unit. The study uses these conceptual tools to illustrate how learning assistance services at the University have moved through several stages of historical development and that historical variables, such as the political setting and physical location of services continue to influence current work practices. The investigation involved gathering data through interviews and focus group discussions with key stakeholders in order to map the University's Learning Assistance Unit as an activity system that appears to have separated out from the overall activity system of the University. It involved making visible problems and tensions in the activity system, and identifying ways of improving future practice. The study reveals problem clusters and underlying tensions amongst the interacting activity systems of the Learning Assistance Unit, faculty, library and student. These problem clusters relate to different understandings about the purpose of the Learning Assistance Unit and the role of the learning adviser, the difficulties in offering a quality service on a restricted budget, and tensions between contextualised and de-contextualised learning assistance. The study suggests that resolving these tensions depends on staff taking an active role in critically examining their practice, in particular the way that they collaborate with key stakeholders in the learning environment.

Full textAbstract:
The focus of this study was the advising style preference of graduate-level students and advisors in online and hybrid programs at a university in rural Arkansas. Students and advisors will benefit from the results because the advisors will have a greater understanding of expectations during an advising session. The problem stems from the fact that graduate level advising is not considered important by administrators at the study institution. The purpose of this study was to determine how graduate level advisors can better serve students and to use the results as a tool for advisor training. The study was guided by Crookston's developmental advising style, in which the advisor and student work together to ensure student success. The key research questions for the study were the preferred advising style of graduate-level students in online and hybrid programs and the advising style preferred by graduate-level advisors. A mixed method with an explanatory sequential design was used, and the Academic Advising Inventory was administered to the population of graduate students and their advisors using a web-based survey. After completing each section of the inventory, respondents had an opportunity for open responses to clarify their selections. Student responses to the inventory indicated their preferred advising style, the advising style they had received, and their satisfaction with the advising they had received. Advisor responses detailed the form of advising they practice. Data were collected from students (n = 224) and advisors (n = 9). Responses were analyzed by following the Academic Advising Inventory Manual and using SPSS for calculations. The responses were recoded to separate the prescriptive and developmental responses. Next, the items were calculated to determine if each respondent was advised prescriptively or developmentally. Finally, the advising satisfaction level for students was calculated to determine student satisfaction with each form of advising received. The results indicate that graduate-level students in both online and hybrid programs prefer developmental advising over prescriptive advising. Students enrolled in hybrid programs indicated greater satisfaction with the advising they received than students enrolled in online programs. Overall students who received developmental advising reported higher satisfaction rates than those who received prescriptive advising. Results of this study will serve as the basis for graduate advisor training and the creation of a training manual.

<p> The development of student voice is included under the social and emotional learning (SEL) umbrella and is the focus of this practitioner action research study with a youth cooperative co-inquiry component. The research was designed to develop a thorough understanding of student and faculty perceptions of the prioritization of student voice for the creation and implementation of advising curriculum that is relevant and useful to students, and the supports for and inhibitors to the development and practice of student voice through the school’s advising program. </p><p> In this study, student voice is defined as the articulation (through words and behaviors) of one’s sense of self (which includes one’s identity, one’s truth—including ideas, perspectives, and beliefs—and one’s values). Student focus groups, faculty interviews, fieldnote journal entries, and archival data were collected and analyzed. Findings include the need for (1) a clear, shared vision that includes student and faculty voices, (2) strong and authentic mentor-mentee relationships, (3) distributed leadership, (4) ongoing faculty training and support, and (5) a dependable structure for regular and ongoing feedback. The implications of these findings for practice and research involve the relationship between a strong, distributed leadership model and the creation of authentic spaces for student voice.</p><p>

Previous issue date: 2014-02-28<br>Outra<br>The present work aimed to perform an analytical reading of collaborative activity that I develop as a Pedagogical Advisor, regarding the continuing education of teachers at the school where I work ( a city of São Paulo State). I used the narrative of memories to promote an observation process of some education paradigms that permeated the guidelines of my activity, and thus I could reflect about the position I have, emphasizing the teacher’s training focused on school (CANÁRIO) considering the historical and cultural assumptions of individuals involved in this experiment (VIGOSTSKI e BAKHTIN). In this work I assume the Pedagogical Advisor position essentially focused on the continuing education of teachers (PLACCO; ALMEIDA; SOUZA). The methodological procedure used was inspired by the analysis of professional practices on direct and cross self-confrontation (CLOT), which has been transformed by the individuals involved and it gave rise to a new process, different from the classic self-confrontations, that I termed only as confrontation. The analytical data reading, provided by the resulting dialogue (FREIRE e BAKHTIN) from the confrontations, indicated that the participating teachers in this study evidenced three movements: the perception of actions performed in the classroom, the speech organization to justify the pedagogical practices and teaching profession responsible acts (BAKHTIN). In this perspective, the confrontation proved to be an excellent tool to organize the Pedagogical Advisors work, as it allows gathering important information to plan, with teachers help, concrete initiation alternatives.<br>O presente trabalho teve como pretensão realizar uma leitura analítica da atividade colaborativa que desenvolvo como Orientador Pedagógico, no que se refere à formação continuada de professores na unidade escolar em que atuo (cidade do interior paulista). Utilizei-me da narrativa de memórias para promover um processo de observação de alguns paradigmas da educação que permeavam as orientações de minha atividade e, assim, refletir sobre o cargo que exerço, enfatizando o olhar para a formação de professores centrada na escola (CANÁRIO), levando em conta os pressupostos histórico-culturais dos sujeitos implicados nesta experimentação (VIGOSTSKI e BAKHTIN). Neste trabalho assumo a profissão de Orientador Pedagógico como sendo um cargo essencialmente voltado para a formação continuada de professores (PLACCO; ALMEIDA; SOUZA). O procedimento metodológico utilizado teve como inspiração a análise das práticas profissionais por autoconfrontação simples e cruzada (CLOT), que foi transformada pelos sujeitos implicados e fez surgir um novo processo, diferente das autoconfrontações clássicas, que denominei somente como confrontação. A leitura analítica dos dados, proporcionados pelos diálogos (FREIRE e BAKHTIN) resultantes das confrontações, apontou que os professores participantes desta pesquisa evidenciaram três movimentos: a percepção de ações realizadas em sala de aula, a organização do discurso para justificar as práticas pedagógicas e os atos responsáveis (BAKHTIN) na profissão docente. Nesta perspectiva, a confrontação mostrou-se um excelente instrumento para a organização do trabalho do Orientador Pedagógico, na medida em que favorece a obtenção de informações importantes para planejar, em conjunto com os professores, alternativas concretas de formação.

Full textAbstract:
Many students find their first year of college to be the most difficult moment of their educational careers. Along with college acceptance comes new expectations, a rigorous curriculum, and the usual growing pains of young adulthood. Because of these challenges, many college students find it difficult, if not impossible to make it past their first year. Limited research has been conducted to address the overall efficiency of first year programs that colleges and universities have put in place to support these students. Considering the trials faced by first year students, it is important that we identify the organizational structures that will increase student success outcomes and lead to the completion of degree programs. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between college sophomore students’ academic motivation, academic self-efficacy, their perceptions of the support they received during their first-year advisory program, and their satisfaction with the advisement they received. The target population is students who completed their first year of college and returned to the college as sophomores.
This quantitative study used the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire, the Academic Motivation Scale, and the Inventory of Academic Advising Functions-Student Version to measure academic self-efficacy, academic motivation, and student satisfaction; 526 freshmen students were contacted and invited to participate in the study. Responses from 57 participating students were used to answer five research questions. The study revealed that students who had high to moderate levels of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation displayed higher levels of satisfaction as it related to the academic counseling they received during their FYE. The study also revealed that only a small group of students felt that their first-year experience program led to them having a stronger sense of self-efficacy. As a result of the study, the researcher was able to find support in previous research that FYE programs have led to creating positive perceptions of about their overall college experience and their ability to do well.

Full textAbstract:
Research on doctoral student attrition has shown that one of the main reasons for which students do not persist in the Ph.D. is because of a poor relationship with their doctoral advisor. The importance of the advising relationship is especially true in science, math, and engineering degrees because of the science model of advising as the student is the advisor's employee, close collaborator, and apprentice. While much attention has been given to understanding the dynamics of the advising relationship, little attention has been given to on how these relationships commence or the context in which they begin. This study ultimately contributes to understanding the context of the inception of advisor- advisee relationships and how it ultimately relates to both faculty and doctoral student satisfaction. The following overarching research questions guide this dissertation: What are the processes for doctoral students to find advisors in engineering, science, and math? How is this process experienced by faculty and students? To address these questions, I conducted three studies. Through these studies, this dissertation: 1) Identified and described the types of advisor-advisee selection processes that exist in engineering, science, and math and examined trends and patterns across disciplines; 2) compared how two Chemical Engineering programs practice the advisor selection process and examined how faculty and graduate program directors negotiate agency in the process and 3) explored how students experience satisfaction of their basic needs in the advisor selection process of one Chemical Engineering program and examined which student attributes influence this satisfaction of needs. The results showed that there are multiple ways through which a student can find an advisor in science, math, and engineering doctoral program, but these vary widely by both discipline and field of study. The results also showed both students and faculty value the ability to select whom they will work with. However, both groups may also need support in making this decision regarding with whom they will work. Overall, the results of this dissertation highlight the importance of developing practices that balance an individual's need for support and autonomy to improve their satisfaction.<br>Doctor of Philosophy

Dean, Joan. "A study of effective advisory work in local education authorities." Thesis, University of Surrey, 1993. http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/843820/.
Full textAbstract:
Criteria of effectiveness were developed by asking advisers, advisory teachers, administrators, headteachers and teachers for examples of advisory work which they considered to be effective and their views of the reasons for this. These were then used to develop questionnaires for advisers, advisory teachers, headteachers and teachers in 4 local authorities, asking for their priorities and their views of 9 areas connected with advisory work - inspection, advice and support, teacher development, philosophy and approaches, knowledge, skill and experience, relationships, climate of the advisory team, organisation and management of the advisory team and the training of advisers. Three of these, inspection, advice and support and teacher development were regarded as key areas. Significant relationships were found between knowledge, skill and experience and the key areas and also between relationships and these areas. There was a also a significant relationship between climate and teacher development. Relationships with other areas were not significant. Individual interviews were held with chief advisers in all 4 authorities, also group interviews with advisers, advisory teachers, headteachers of primary and secondary schools and headteachers and staffs in 12 schools which had been inspected by the local authority advisory team. In addition, a national survey was undertaken which gave details of the changes in advisory teams between 1992 and 1993. Findings included the fact that there would be a decrease of 18% in the numbers of advisers by September 1993 and 38% in the number of advisory teachers. Headteachers gave their highest priority to inspection and teachers to in-service education. Headteachers valued advisers more than advisory teachers and teachers valued advisory teachers more than advisers. Separating advice and inspection, as was the practice in one of the authorities, did not appear to improve either and follow up was less effective than in authorities where these activities were not separated. The involvement of lay people in 3 of the 4 authorities did not give rise to concern on the part of teachers or headteachers. Primary headteachers and teachers were concerned about the credibility of advisers coming from a secondary background. There is likely to be a considerable decrease in the amount of advice and support available to schools as advisory teams become involved in the national privatized inspection scheme and also in the appraisal of headteachers. In some authorities advice and support will be available for sale, but some schools may not be able to afford to buy it. The findings of this study have considerable relevance for the advisory service of the future. The information about priorities should be valuable in planning advisory work. Team management and team climate will be even more important in the new situation if the demands of schools are to be met. The continued existence of advisory services will depend, in many places, upon schools buying them and this in turn will depend upon how effective they are.

This project study investigated the effectiveness of a student advising program at a rural high school in Hawaii. The advisory program was implemented to help students track their progress and prepare them for post-high school college and career choices, yet the program's implementation had not been evaluated. Guided by Erickson's theoretical framework, this quantitative study examined advisory participants' perceptions of (a) student-advisor relationships, (b) assistance in making post-high school plans, (c) advisor content knowledge, and (d) recommendations for program improvement. A descriptive survey was given to advisors (n = 28) and a random sample of advisees (n = 145). Descriptive survey data indicated that the advisors and advisees perceived the advisory program to improve student relationships with adults and the development of post-high school plans. Further, comparative analyses using independent-samples t tests found no statistically significant differences in the responses between the advisor and advisee groups in terms of relationships and developing post-high school plans. Advisors indicated that they needed more training, more time to plan, and that program evaluations should be shared at a faculty meeting. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the advisory program be continued, and that additional, ongoing training and planning time be provided to program advisors. Improvements to the advisory program will help school administrators and program advisors provide services that will better prepare advisory students for post-high school educational and career choices, thus promoting positive social change.

International students in U.S. academic settings are facing barriers in the path of their academic accomplishments. In higher educational institutions, students work very closely with their academic advisors to solve a definite problem. Dependence on the academic advisor is much more when the advisee is international. Keeping these points in mind, one of the factors that might impact academic environment for an international student is the bonding that they share with their advisor. This research study determines the factors that encourage or discourage the relationship between the advisor and international advisee. More specifically, what factors, cultural or cognitive are more salient in defining the advising relationship, and how are coping behaviors being employed and by whom when differences between the working pair exists? Full-time international graduate students having at least one year of graduate school experience in U.S. academic settings and faculty advisors who had experience in advising international graduate students participated in this study. A total of 20 international students participated. All the participants completed the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory (KAI) as a measure of problem-solving style. Of the 20 that completed the inventory, 14 participants from 10 different countries agreed to participate in a semi-structure interview. Additionally, five faculty advisors completed the KAI inventory and three faculty advisors participated in an interview. Findings of the study are: 1) a link exists between participants' problem-solving styles and their expectations for the advising relationship; 2) cultural difference outside academia had no impact on academic progress of international students; 3) acculturation into American academic culture seemed essential for academic success of international students in U.S academic settings; 4) international students wanted their home country culture to be acknowledged in a multicultural settings; 5) success of advising relationship seemed to be dependent upon how much the advisor and the advisee exhibited coping behavior; 6) acknowledging the differences and accepting a person in a holistic manner as a separate identity worked best in a multicultural settings; and 7) developing a human connect between the advisor and advisee seemed to be vital for a successful and academically productive advising relationship.<br>Master of Science in Life Sciences

Full textAbstract:
<p> This study addressed the lived experience of corporate executive women who have had a trusted advisor. The relayed impact and significance of trusted advisors for their career development was portrayed. Traditionally, women lagged behind men in numbers in key corporate positions. Due to increased international efforts to level the playing field over the last decade, more women were present at the executive level in corporations. Understanding the experience of these women is crucial for psychology practitioners in the workplace to strategically support and enhance working conditions in the corporate environment. In this study, the phenomenon of what it is like for corporate executive women to have had a trusted advisor was explored through the descriptions of their perceptions and experiences. A qualitative, phenomenological research design was utilized to collect, analyze, and describe data and synthesize the description of the experience and process of having or having had a trusted advisor. The experience of nine executive women was recorded and transcribed through open-ended, conversational, face-to face interviews. Over 400 meaning units were scrutinized to arrive at individual, and eventually, composite textural and structural descriptions of the phenomenon. The essence of the experience of the executive women was portrayed and the findings presented. This portrayal of the “what and the how” of the trusted advisor experience revealed a complex process of human connectedness, sense of self, and the importance of trust for these nine women. Seven themes were common to all the participants; unconditional support, communication/interaction, trust, feelings associated with the trusted advisor relationship, personal and professional integrity, pathway to career and growth, and advice and decision making. The essence of the experience of having a trusted advisor was clearly set in the relational world of human experience and was best represented as the give and take of a shared dyadic relationship.</p><p>

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the quality, relevance, benefits, and teacher preparedness of a student advisory that was implemented in a high school to improve student connectedness to the school. Students' and staff perceptions and ideas were collected and analyzed for the purpose of understanding whether the advisory was meeting its stated goals and for the purpose of providing guidance for the next phases of the advisory. One year of extant student and staff surveys were collected and a focus group with staff were held to elicit their thoughts, perceptions, and ideas of the advisory program and whether the advisory achieved its short-range outcomes of increasing student connectivity to the school. The results indicated students want a more engaging and purposeful advisory with relevant lessons that provide them the opportunity to meet other grade-level students in the school. Teachers provided similar feedback regarding the mixed grade levels and relevance, however, teacher respondents also shared more positive insights for the advisory program, compared to students, indicating it was on a purposeful trajectory.
