Thousands of parents each year inform their child about a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, and most parents feel unprepared for this task. Although we are now able to reliably diagnose ASD very early in life, almost no empirical...
Although important strides towards gender parity have been made in several scientific fields, females remain underrepresented in the physical sciences, engineering, mathematics, and computer sciences (PEMC). This study examines the... In this study, researchers investigated the perceive competence, academic performance, and completed high school courses by men and women who majored in the physical, and computer sciences (PEMC). Findings...
While early childhood education has received increasing attention in the developing world in recent years, relatively little evidence is available from sub-Saharan Africa on its effects on child development and subsequent school...
This brief will examine the impacts COVID-19 has had on FL residents across counties, racial and ethnic demographics, and the FL school population. We ran a multiple linear regression to determine our tested correlations.
Over half of community college students place into developmental education, resulting in significant financial costs. We extend previous research demonstrating that using placement tests to assign students into developmental courses...
While the underrepresentation of women in the fast-growing STEM field of computer science (CS) has been much studied, no consensus exists on the key factors influencing this widening gender gap. Possible suspects include gender...
This study used data from the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education to examine the leadership development of non-native English speakers during college. Results suggest that being a non-native English speaker is associated with...
Research in sub-Saharan Africa investigating the effect of mother tongue (MT) literacy instruction at medium scale is limited. A randomized controlled trial of MT literacy instruction was implemented in 2013 and 2014 as part of the...
Instructional coaching has improved student outcomes in the United States, and may help to solve Kenya's literacy problems. Coaching is costly, however, and evidence is lacking regarding the most costefficient teacher-to-coach ratio. We...
As leadership educators we aim to provide students with opportunities necessary to gain knowledge and appropriate leadership skills. Valuable opportunities developed through Student Affairs and Academic Affairs collaborations which...
This study was an exploration into how college students with autism spectrum disorder identify and use support systems during the transition to higher education. In particular, this study explored how these students described their...
The emerging millennial generation of young professionals in student affairs, often accused of being shielded from many of life's developmentally stimulating challenges, may not be sufficiently self-authored to effectively facilitate...
Pain attracts attention on the bodily regions. Attentional allocation toward pain results from the neural communication across the brain-wide network "connectome" . Connectome is intrinsically dynamic and spontaneously fluctuating on...
Decades of research demonstrate that college students benefit from positive interaction with faculty members, although that same evidence suggests that those interactions are far from common, particularly outside the classroom. Moreover, ...
Many studies have attempted to determine the relationship between education and HIV status. However, a complete and causal understanding of this relationship requires analysis of its mediating pathways, focusing on sexual behaviors. We...
High school Career and Technical Education (CTE) has received increased attention from policymakers and researchers in recent years. This study fills a needed gap in the growing research base by examining heterogeneity within the wide...
Students' perceptions of their mathematics ability vary by gender and seem to influence science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) degree choice. Related, students' perceptions during academic difficulty are increasingly...
Roughly 1 in 59 children in the United States is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a rate that has more than doubled during the last 10 years. As students with autism increasinglypursue higher education, college educators...
This study explores whether the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) Program, the largest federal investment in community colleges in this nation’s history, expanded and improved vocational training...
Campus housing professionals, and Resident Assistants (RAs) in particular, are often faced with the challenge of identifying and assisting students who struggle with the transition to college and those students finding themselves in...
The article examines the state of the educational system in Sierra Leone before and after the civil war there and its role in the reintegration of former child soldiers. The perspectives of former child soldiers, caregivers, and...
In an effort to identify policies that foster an institutional "culture of teaching, or encourage use of effective pedagogies, this study uses data from 5,612 faculty members at 45 institutions to examine connections between...
This case study asks readers to contemplate what leadership practices may facilitate leadership succession at charter schools. The case narrative is followed by an activity designed for students in principal preparation programs. In this... A case study on how to plan for change of leadership at a charter school in the state of Florida. This case study looks at the retiring of a small urban charter school principal to explore ideas pertaining to how leadership changes could affect teachers and students in Florida’s charter schools. The author also included an activity...
An increasing number of higher education institutions and state systems are adopting corequisite developmental education (DE) models, which involve students taking remedial courses alongside introductory college-level English or math...
Research clearly indicates that faculty members have the potential to influence student learning outcomes through their pedagogical practices (Pascarella & Terenzini, 1991, 2005). We know less about what influences faculty members'...
One challenge in understanding “what works” in education is that effect sizes may not be comparable across studies, raising questions for practitioners and policymakers using research to select interventions. One factor that consistently...
To sustain the higher education industry and address U.S. economic downturns, researchers must prioritize research on undergraduates aged 24 or above – contemporary students. This empirical study finds contemporary students have lower...
This essay explores factors underlying the underutilization of Open Access (OA) to make education research literature freely available online, where it can benefit a global audience of researchers, students, teachers, and policymakers....
Nearly all quantitative analyses in higher education draw from incomplete datasets--a common problem with no universal solution. In the first part of this paper, we explain why missing data matter and outline the advantages and...
The Center for Postsecondary Success (CPS) at Florida State University, have been conducting a longitudinal study of how Florida College System (FCS) institutions have implemented developmental education reform (SB 1720) on their...
High school course selection can affect student outcomes in high school, college, and beyond. Policymakers therefore must consider whether policies affecting course selection may have unintended consequences for students with different...

Despite an increasing focus on issues of accountability, assessment, and data-driven decision making (DDDM) within the postsecondary context, assumptions regarding their value remain largely untested. The current study uses empirical...
Students’ lives outside of college can have dramatic effects on academic outcomes (e.g., grades, persistence, graduation). However, the manner in which students’ lives outside of college are referenced in college-effects models suggests... This study examined three types of non-college life events—financial disruption, a family or friend’s death, and similar family distressful situations—and how they might predict the likelihood of students’ graduation. Using longitudinal...
