Abstract:

Twenty years ago, kindergarten was a year of informal education designed to help a child develop some readiness skills, adjust to school, adjust socially and learn through play. Readiness for elementary education was defined in terms of attitude and motivation rather than in specific academic achievements. The hazards of the academic model for young children is supported by recent research. Elkind (1986), for example, confirms that young children do not learn in the same ways as older children and adults. Because the world of things, people, and language is so new to infants and young children

Abstract:

Student persistence and retention within the higher education system has been a concern on a broad scale and on a university scale for a long time. Information systems have only just begun to gain traction as another solution for student retention, but they are being proven to be extremely effective. Traditional retention methods such as academic assistance, skills training, student clubs, and other on-campus resources can only go so far. Student retention information systems offer a new dimension within university student retention: these information systems gather, analyze, and report persis

Abstract:

Mineral pigments are added to paper with the aim of improving its optical and printing properties. The colloidal behavior of calcium carbonate filler shows a dependence on the quality of water used in suspensions, presence of dissolved and colloidal substances and type of polymer used as a retention aid. The role of the retention aids is to attach colloidal particles, such as fines and mineral pigments, to pulp fibers before or during the paper is made. Two very different single-component retention aids were utilized in calcium carbonate fillers destabilization and deposition on fibers.

Abstract:

Microparticulate retention aids, consisting of a high molecular weight polymer used in conjunction with inorganic microparticles, are widely used to improve the process colloid retention in papermaking. Such additives are generally introduced to the paper stock prior to the web formation, so that fines and fillers are flocculated and retained into the forming web. This study investigated the mechanism of fines and filler retention under the high shear typical of papermaking. Retention and drainage were optimized using the newly built Laboratory Twin Former.

Abstract:

Student retention has become a serious topic in the past several decades (Wild and Ebbers, 2002). Problematic, however, is how retention is defined and measured, as well as a lack of multi-institutional studies that support a theoretical model for improving student retention, particularly in community colleges (Bailey & Alfonso, 2005). The Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) was launched in 2001. Based on extensive research that pertains to student learning and persistence, CCSSE defined five benchmarks of educational practice. Three of the benchmarks comprise the Retention

Abstract:

In the late 1980s, in Britain, teacher retention was an important issue in public education, with inner city schools suffering most from teachers' unwillingness to be retained. Most labour market studies, even those written about teachers, concentrate on the 'demand side' : there are few empirical studies of the supply side. Those researched from the perspective of the employees themselves are rare. A literature search yielded three main categories of supply side job satisfactions : groupings of 0 intrinsic, extrinsic and contextual factors. A research approach was developed to establish the s

Hypotheses 2 - retention and loyalty have unidirectional relation – loyalty means retention of the customer, but retained customer doesn’t mean loyal.

Nurse turnover is a significant problem that has led to a nursing shortage in hospitals, particularly in rural hospitals. The nursing shortage will continue to grow if changes are not implemented to retain qualified nurses. Nurse turnover puts patients at risk for substandard care and increases healthcare-related costs, as organizations try to recoup costs to train and orient new nurses. Retention, turnover, and quality of care are important organizational drivers. One strategy that targets each of these drivers is to have newly hired nurses partake in a preceptorship, where a preceptor facili

When one learns a novel motor skill, retention of that skill requires consolidation of motor learning. Previous reports have shown that preceding sessions of motor learning can interfere with the acquisition of new tasks and that new motor learning can disrupt previously retained skills. A recent study by Caithness et al. (2004) shows that new learning, even after long delays, can totally disrupt prior retention. This finding is consistent with the idea that re-activated memories become labile and subject to displacement. However the result is difficult to reconcile with day-to-day expe
