Full textAbstract:
Institutions of higher learning are experiencing increased difficulty managing the quantity and quality of their graduate student populations (Kallio, 1995). Currently the most important informational resource for potential students engaged in the graduate school search process is the Web (Huddleston & Drexel, 2006). Previous research has focused on things such as website design and technological advances but has failed to address the core content needed by applicants (Huddleston & Drexel, 2006). Research has focused on website design from the perspective of administrators and web designers with little consideration of the individuals who are in the process of applying to or identifying a graduate program to attend. This investigation sought to further define the content areas that influence applicants in the graduate program selection process. The sample (N=55) included applicants to the Department of Counseling Psychology and Special Education (CPSE) at Brigham Young University (BYU), a large, private religious university in the western United States. Applicants responded to surveys about the types of content they utilized in their program selection process both in application to BYU's CPSE programs as well as more generally in the graduate program selection process. The results are presented with descriptive statistics that allow comparison in content preference between different groups of applicants (e.g., program type, applicant status). It seems that, overall, the respondents were able to find the content areas that they were looking for on the Website. Responses indicated that the content related to faculty research, program descriptions, and course information was most commonly sought after. While some differences in content preference was noted between program types, little differentiation was noted among the different application groups. Limitations to the present study are discussed, and suggestions for future research are also provided.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2005.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Business schools, businesses and prospective students will benefit from an indication of prospective MBA students’ likelihood of success in their studies. This study examines the relationship between GMAT and SHL selection tests and performance of students at the University of Stellenbosch Business School. The aim is to establish the feasibility of using models derived from the selection tests in order to identify students who are unlikely to succeed. It was found that variables analyzed in GMAT and SHL numeric and verbal tests as well as the SHL OPQ 32-test correlate significantly with weighted average marks on the MBA programme. Significant correlations were also found between GMAT and SHL numeric and verbal tests and the marks obtained in subjects with high failure rates. Different variables correlate significantly with weighted average marks depending on the mode of study. Said correlations were however found to be too weak to build a model to predict, with accuracy, the performance of a student based solely on the results of selection tests. Adding the subject Computer Literacy strengthens the models to the extent that discriminant analysis can identify many of the students whom would be expected to fail. Prediction efficiency of discriminant models is however not high enough to allow its sole use as basis for exclusion of prospective students. Linear models could not predict any of the students who failed to achieve a weighted average mark of 50% or above. Linear regression models could however explain 27.8% to 52.6% of variability in weighted averaged depending on the method of study and selection test taken. Linear regression and discriminant models can thus be used as part of a judgement based selection process or as a basis for the provision of guidance to individuals, it is however not suitable for use as sole measure in admissions decisions.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Besigheidskole, besighede en voornemende studente sal baat vind indien hul ‘n indikasie kan kry van die waarskynlikheid van ‘n voornemende student se sukses. Die studie ondersoek die verhouding tussen GMAT en SHL toetse en prestasie van studente aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch Bestuurskool. Die doel was om vas te stel of dit wesenlik is om modelle, wat van die toelatingstoetse afgelei is, te gebruik om studente wat waarskynlik nie sal slaag nie, te identifiseer. Daar is gevind dat veranderlikes in die GMAT en SHL numeriese en verbale toelatingstoetse sowel as die SHL OPQ32 toets wesenlik korreleer met die geweegde gemiddelde punt vir die MBA program. Wesenlike korrelasies is ook tussen GMAT en SHL numeriese en verbale toelatingstoetse en die punte behaal in vakke met hoeë druipsyfers gevind. Verskillende veranderlikes korreleer op ‘n wesenlike vlak met geweegde gemiddelde punte afhangende van die metode van onderrig. Bogenoemde korrelasies is egter nie sterk genoeg om ‘n model te bou, suiwer gebaseer op toelatingstoetse, wat met akkuraatheid die prestasie van ‘n student kan voorspel nie. Deur die vak Rekenaargeletterdheid by te voeg kan die model sodanig versterk word dat diskriminante analise baie van die studente wat sou druip, kon identifiseer. Die voorspellings effektiwiteit is egter nie hoog genoeg om diskriminante modelle as enigste basis vir die weiering van studente te gebruik nie. Lineêre regressie modelle kon nie enige van die studente wat gedruip het identifiseer nie. 27.8% tot 52.6% van ‘n variansie in geweegde gemiddelde punt kan egter deur lineêre regressie modelle voorspel word, afhangende van die metode van onderrig en toelatingstoets wat geskryf is. Lineêre en diskriminante modelle kan gebruik word as deel van ‘n oordeel gebaseerde keuringsproses of as basis vir die voorsiening van raad aan individue. Dit is egter nie geskik vir gebruik as enigste keuringsmaatstaf nie.

The shortage of clinical patients utilizing the services provided at dental schooI clinics is a concern shared by many institutions. In an effort to help increase the patient pool at BostOn University Goldman School of Graduate Dentistry, dental screening programs were begun in 1983, which focused at targeting the college student population as prospective clinical patients. The following study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the screening programs, conducted during the fall of 1986, in recruiting dental patients for the school and ascertain specific reasons which expediate or preclude college students from utilizing the dental services at Boston University. The results of the study demonstrate the moderate success of the screening programs and indicate the need for continued efforts in improving the visibility and organization of the screening sessions at the college institutions participating in the Dental Screening Programs.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to provide educators with empirical information on the qualifications personnel managers expect from entry-level employees. The study also compared school officials' rankings of employment qualifications of high school graduates with qualifications found by business personnel managers when selecting entry-level workers.The data collection process involved a card sort technique utilizing two decks of cards. Surveys were mailed to Indiana public school superintendents, high school principals, public school board presidents, and business personnel managers. A total of 1924 surveys were mailed with 528 ranked surveys returned.Six null hypotheses were two-way comparisons of desired entry-level qualifications and current entry-level qualifications. Ten null hypotheses compared desired qualifications with current entry-level qualifications.There was little agreement among the respondents or respondent groups regarding the most desired or currently found entry-level qualifications. All respondent groups ranked science and technology, social and economic studies, and writing as the least found qualifications. Personnel managers ranked science and technology as the most desired entry-level qualification. School officials ranked this qualification as one of the least desired entry-level qualification.If educators are to prepare students to meet the challenges of entry-level employment, general expectations must be developed that are acceptable to a variety of employers. Only through collaborative efforts between business and school officials will entry-level qualifications be developed that have meaning to both groups. Until that collaboration occurs, educators willcontinue to rely on their own beliefs as they prepare students for entrance into the world of work.Department of Educational Leadership

Bahl, Armin. "The role of direction-selective visual interneurons T4 and T5 in Drosophila orientation behavior." Diss., Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, 2015. http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:19-180474.
Full textAbstract:
In order to safely move through the environment, visually-guided animals
use several types of visual cues for orientation. Optic flow provides faithful
information about ego-motion and can thus be used to maintain a straight
course. Additionally, local motion cues or landmarks indicate potentially
interesting targets or signal danger, triggering approach or avoidance, respectively.
The visual system must reliably and quickly evaluate these cues
and integrate this information in order to orchestrate behavior. The underlying
neuronal computations for this remain largely inaccessible in higher
organisms, such as in humans, but can be studied experimentally in more
simple model species. The fly Drosophila, for example, heavily relies on
such visual cues during its impressive flight maneuvers. Additionally, it is
genetically and physiologically accessible. Hence, it can be regarded as an
ideal model organism for exploring neuronal computations during visual
processing.
In my PhD studies, I have designed and built several autonomous virtual
reality setups to precisely measure visual behavior of walking flies. The
setups run in open-loop and in closed-loop configuration. In an open-loop
experiment, the visual stimulus is clearly defined and does not depend on
the behavioral response. Hence, it allows mapping of how specific features
of simple visual stimuli are translated into behavioral output, which can
guide the creation of computational models of visual processing. In closedloop
experiments, the behavioral response is fed back onto the visual stimulus,
which permits characterization of the behavior under more realistic
conditions and, thus, allows for testing of the predictive power of the computational
models.
In addition, Drosophila’s genetic toolbox provides various strategies for
targeting and silencing specific neuron types, which helps identify which
cells are needed for a specific behavior. We have focused on visual interneuron
types T4 and T5 and assessed their role in visual orientation behavior.
These neurons build up a retinotopic array and cover the whole visual field
of the fly. They constitute major output elements from the medulla and have
long been speculated to be involved in motion processing.
This cumulative thesis consists of three published studies: In the first
study, we silenced both T4 and T5 neurons together and found that such flies
were completely blind to any kind of motion. In particular, these flies could
not perform an optomotor response anymore, which means that they lost
their normally innate following responses to motion of large-field moving
patterns. This was an important finding as it ruled out the contribution
of another system for motion vision-based behaviors. However, these flies
were still able to fixate a black bar. We could show that this behavior is
mediated by a T4/T5-independent flicker detection circuitry which exists in
parallel to the motion system.
In the second study, T4 and T5 neurons were characterized via twophoton
imaging, revealing that these cells are directionally selective and
have very similar temporal and orientation tuning properties to directionselective
neurons in the lobula plate. T4 and T5 cells responded in a
contrast polarity-specific manner: T4 neurons responded selectively to ON
edge motion while T5 neurons responded only to OFF edge motion. When
we blocked T4 neurons, behavioral responses to moving ON edges were
more impaired than those to moving OFF edges and the opposite was true
for the T5 block. Hence, these findings confirmed that the contrast polarityspecific
visual motion pathways, which start at the level of L1 (ON) and L2
(OFF), are maintained within the medulla and that motion information is
computed twice independently within each of these pathways.
Finally, in the third study, we used the virtual reality setups to probe the
performance of an artificial microcircuit. The system was equipped with a
camera and spherical fisheye lens. Images were processed by an array of
Reichardt detectors whose outputs were integrated in a similar way to what
is found in the lobula plate of flies. We provided the system with several rotating
natural environments and found that the fly-inspired artificial system
could accurately predict the axes of rotation.

Full textAbstract:
First generation students face significant challenges with respect to college enrollment (Choy, 2001) and remain disproportionately underrepresented in certain segments of American higher education particularly in graduate education (Callan, 2001). Among those individuals who shape the educational plans of first-generation students are their parents (Hossler & Stage, 1999; McDonough, 1997). Researchers operationalize parental influence as the transmission of various forms of capital (Bourdieu, 1977).
The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a relationship between various forms of capital parents transmit to their children and graduate school aspirations of first generation and non-first generation students attending highly selective institutions. Three dimensions of capital were explored in this study: (a) human, (b) cultural, and (c) social. Additionally, this study was designed to determine whether there are differences in the degree of these forms of capital among groups classified by race, gender and institution type.
Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Freshmen (NLSF) (Massey et. al, 2003) which included a sample of Asian, Black, Hispanic and Caucasian first year, first generation and non-first generation students from 28 highly selective colleges and universities were used for this study.
The findings suggest that human, cultural, and social capital transmitted to students by parents are marginally related to graduate school aspirations regardless of generation status. Also, graduate school aspirations differ by race/ethnicity and gender, but do not differ substantively between first generation and non-first generation students in this sample. Finally, the type of institution students attend does not relate to their graduate school aspirations.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
This paper adds to existing literature regarding MBA selection processes and helps identify and better understand the needs that motivate consumers to pursue an MBA degree. Through a series of qualitative, one-on-one interviews with 17 brand-new MBA students or prospective students, this research found that while many people have "always wanted" to earn the advanced degree, most have toyed with the idea of a graduate business degree for many years. The most frequent reasons that people cite regarding their decision to seriously consider an MBA at a large southern university centers around four desires. These are, not surprisingly, the desire to earn more money, the desire to change careers, the desire to advance their careers by obtaining a required credential, and the desire for knowledge that can be obtained by earning the degree. Further, this research identified the single most important factor that prospects considered when determining which university to attend for the MBA degree: the university's ability to help make them more marketable or advance their career. Other answers included cost, university's reputation, convenience, program duration, the university's location, and the caliber of peers in the classroom.

The purpose of this study is to understand the influence to students’ selection of graduate school under internationalized higher education in Taiwan. Through a literature study, this study firstly explores the meaning, reasons, strategies, and related studies of internationalization of higher education. Six dimensions including “the international interflow of students”, “the international interflow of teachers”, “international curriculum”, “international partnership”, “issues of internationalization”, and “organizational structure of internationalization” are proposed to examine the conditions of Taiwan’s higher education. In addition, a questionnaire was constructed and sent to the seniors and juniors of five Taiwanese universities to collect empirical data of their satisfaction and expectation to the internationalization performance of the five universities. The summery of salient findings are following: 1. 66.7% of students would like to go to graduate school in Taiwan which means the internationalization strategies that enforced by private university does affect to make students to go to graduate school in Taiwan instead of go abroad. 2. 20.6% of students would like to go to graduate school at their alma mater which means the internationalization strategies that enforced by private university does not affect to make students to go to graduate school at their alma mater. 3. In the meantime that private university enforced the international- ization strategies, “the reputation and evaluation” has significant affection to the “international curriculum” and then affect the inclination of students to go to graduate school in Taiwan. 4. In the meantime that private university enforced the international- ization strategies; “the reputation and evaluation” has significant affection to the “the international interflow of teachers” and the “international partnership”proceed to the next step affect the inclination of students to go to graduate school at their alma mater.

In this study, we research the situation and decision of graduate school by teachers who are from elementary school. Due to documents analysis and questionnaires survey, we can understand that these teachers need for cognition, collect information, make a criterion of graduate school, decision factors and why these teachers need to pursue further education. According to these reasons, we can promote adult education marketing. This study involves documents analysis and questionnaires survey. First, we discuss further education, consumer behavior, and adult education marketing. And the search tool is “questionnaires survey of graduate school choice from elementary school teacher”. The research object is from elementary school teachers of Tainan county. There are 458 effective questionnaires which involve descriptive statistics, factor analysis, cluster analysis, one-way ANOVA, and T-test. The main conclusions as following： 1. The main factors of further education are “obtain more much money”, “obtain more professional knowledge”, “obtain higher school record”, and “ severe competition”. 2. The main information source are “ word of mouth”, and “online word of mouth”. 3. “ The time”, “the place”, “ teaching quality”, “curriculum design”, “qualified teachers” are the main evaluation. 4. The first reason of further education is “relatives and friends’ suggestion”, the second reason are “economical situation”, and “ image of school”. 5. The first choice of further education are “on-the-job graduate school of education which is related 6. These teachers will choose different graduate school due to different background. 7. The evaluation for these teachers are “gumptious”, “prominence”, “reconciliatory”, “easy”. And the “gumptious” is the most important in evaluation. According to above conclusions, we have some suggestion as below： 1. Using marketing to induce students requirement and to understand adult education. 2. To grasp student characteristic to develop 5P marketing strategy. 3. To establish adult education image, develop adult education characteristic and differentiate from market.

With university autonomy and the deregulation of education, college admission under a centralized entrance exam in the pass was substituted for multi-stars project, individual applications, recommendations, uniform tests and other programs. A large number of schools increased rapidly, therefore, admitted rate came increased year by year. The colleage education in Taiwan has reflected the transition from elite to universal access. Now, students have to collect a wide range of reference information and advice to make complex decisions on selecting appropriate schools and departments. This study aims to analyze students's key factors on the selection of navigation related departments and use these evaluation factors to explore students' orientations and needs. On analysisng students’ choosing among navigation related departments, Questionnaires are drawn up by literature review methodology and field interview inductive analysis. Students’ behavior on school choices the be summarized into six categories of factors which are personal career planning and capacity, school faculty and equipments, future competition for jobs, social identity, publicity for schools and departments and national advocacy. After compiling the collected data, the statistical software of SPSS was used to conduct statistical analyses such as reliability analysis, validity analysis, descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test and ANOVA. Finally, the key factors on high school and vocational high school graduates’ selection of navigation related departments were summarized, the importance of factors were then evaluated to provide some information and advice for the admissions of navigation related departments.

The school/department selection is divided into psychology, society and economy in this study. The selection is affected by five factors including college, interpersonal, strategy, economy and college registration application. This study tries to analyze the affecting factors associated with the selection of construction engineering related departments for senior high school and vocational high school graduates. The method of questionnaire is used to investigate the entrance selection. There are 305 valid questionnaires and the response rate is 35%. This study focuses on the entrance analysis of construction engineering related departments. Also, this study tries to find the proper relationship between the recruitment strategies and the need of students. The obtained results are: 1) The recruitment marketing planning should consider the need of senior high school and vocational high school graduates, the competitive edges of the school over other schools, and seeking resources and attracting students aggressively. 2) Those students who select construction engineering related departments pay more attention to the services provided by a school or department. School marketing is to use the marketing concepts to mange a school. The short term goal is to attract more resources and students. The long term goal is to establish special characteristics in a school and its departments to improve its competitiveness and pursuit its overall sustainable development.

Recently, the domestic graduate schools uninterrupted increasing. In a competitive graduate school’s market, it is very important for the managements in university how to attract students and to understand students choose graduate school’s influence factors. Past researches have indicated that awareness, consideration, and choice set have a important influence that students select a school. This study is about .products selling in the past. A topic for discussion in choosing school is less. In the past students search information for entering a higher school about universities and vocational high schools, but A topic for discussion in choosing a graduate school is less. The study of associated influencing factors in graduate school choice for university students are including：information sources in graduate school、the successive set size about a consumer making decisions、factors of influences in choosing school、and factors of demographic statistics. Students get about a graduate school’s information form information. At this time a graduate school’s information enter students’s awareness set, according to dissimilar factor’s influence and sift some plans enter consideration set, and then in consideration set’s plans, according to estimate standards myself and delete some plans, and the remainder incorporated in choice Set. Factors of influences in choosing school are including：living、learning、employment、and prestige approach. They have influence for the successive set in consumer decision model. The program takes shape lastly and develops a graduate school choice model through the framework. In this study, senior of college students are research targets for questionnaires. The Information’s analysis include Cronbach’s α and factor analysis. About selecting relationship of school’s factor and school set use LISREL linear structure model to test and verify. The results can be concluded as the following，Students get the source of information from personal sources. In selecting relationship of school’s factor and school set, students attach more importance to living approach that have more small set of choosing school；attach more importance to learning approach and have evidences that it show awareness set and consideration set more big so choice Set is not notable；attach more importance to employment approach and have evidences that it show awareness set more big so consideration set and choice Set is not notable. Student attach more importance to prestige approach and have evidences that it show awareness set more big but consideration set more small so choice set is not notable. The school of managers should emphasize how to form a part of choice set in student’s mind and the school will increase the chosen opportunity by students. I hope the results providing for enrolling students.

The crude birth rate of Taiwan has decreased every year since it dropped below 20% in 1984, in which year the population of Taiwan was 371,008. The year of 2010 witnessed the biggest decrease in the total population, with a crude birth rate of 7.21% and a population of 166,886. The main causes for a decreasing population lie in the facts that in recent years there have been fewer job opportunities, a growing unemployment rate, and a descending salary level. Moreover, the rising price index and inflation have brought young people much pressure. Therefore, the fertility rate has decreased annually. Sub-replacement fertility, which is caused by a decreasing fertility rate, has struck a serious blow at all of the educational authorities. The twelve-year compulsory education is sure to make a bigger impact in the education field. Education is the foundation for a strong nation. Without a solid educational foundation, the nation will face a worrisome future. Hence, the author was induced to conduct this study to explore the motives and key factors for a junior high school graduate-to-be to choose a senior or vocational senior high school in the 12-year compulsory education system. The key factors for domestic and overseas junior high school graduates-to-be to choose a senior or vocational senior high school were collected through literature review. Five assessment dimensions and eighteen assessment criteria were summarized to develop a prototype framework. With the assistance of five experts who have worked on recruiting for over ten years, and with the use of Delphi method to reach an agreement among the five experts, the author eventually developed an official research framework of five dimensions and seventeen criteria as the foundation of the following research. This study used DEMATEL and ANP to analyze the relationships between variables in order to find out the key factors that influence junior high school graduates-to-be to choose a senior or vocational senior high school, and the cause and effect diagram of the key factors was produced. The results show that the key factors of junior high school graduates-to-be to choose a senior or vocational senior high include school reputation, distance between home and school, tuition, campus safety, relatives’, teachers’ and friends’ opinions of the school, scholarships and grants, and school size. The above-mentioned seven factors are the main criteria for junior high graduates to choose a senior high. The cause and effect diagram produced from DEMATEL show that in order to deal with sub-replacement fertility and increase their competitive edge, senior and vocational senior high schools are suggested to make improvements in terms of their reputation, people’s opinions of them, tuition, and campus location. This study selected five representative schools in Taoyuan City for importance and performance analysis. The findings show that stably developing schools perform better, while schools showing recruitment problems perform worse.
