Show moreThe purpose of the study was to develop a model of guidance services that would take into account the diversified needs of the new constituencies. The term "new constituencies" referred to three of the groups newest to higher education and urban community colleges. Namely, academically under-prepared, low income, and/or racial and ethnic minorities were the kinds of students considered. The major questions of the research problem to determine if guidance programs were adequately serving new constituencies were: (1) Are community colleges providing varied guidance services? (2) To what extent are new constituencies utilizing guidance services? (3) How do new constituencies evaluate guidance services? and (4) What are the essential components of guidance services for new constituencies? The crucial needs of the three constituency groups as identified from the research, coupled with a comprehensive review of the literature, formed the basis for the development of an administrative design for guidance services. The model was found to be especially applicable for use in urban community colleges comparable to those surveyed in the study.

Creator
CULP, MARGUERITE MCGANN., Florida Atlantic University, Kite, Robert H.
Abstract/Description
The problem addressed by this study was the lack of data to document the need for--or effectiveness of--the student personnel program at Seminole Community College. A literature review supported the need for continued evaluation of student personnel services at the local level. Four questions were generated as a result of this literature review: (1)Which student personnel services were considered essential by new students, by students who had completed at least one semester at the college,...
Show moreThe problem addressed by this study was the lack of data to document the need for--or effectiveness of--the student personnel program at Seminole Community College. A literature review supported the need for continued evaluation of student personnel services at the local level. Four questions were generated as a result of this literature review: (1)Which student personnel services were considered essential by new students, by students who had completed at least one semester at the college, and by faculty members? (2)Which services were new students actually intending to use? (3)How did faculty members and students who had used specific student personnel services rate them? (4)Did significant differences exist in the services needed by new students in relation to the variables of age, sex, enrollment status, and area of college enrollment? A study was designed to answer these questions. Survey instruments were constructed and distributed to a random sample of new students, currently enrolled students, and faculty members in the adult high school, college credit, and vocational-technical portions of the college. The instruments were returned by 87.9 percent of new students, 93.5 percent of currently enrolled students, and 88.1 percent of the faculty. Examination of the data, calculated in percentages, from new students, currently enrolled students, and faculty revealed that: (1)services defined as necessary were those related to admissions, testing and placement, academic and career counseling, and orientation; (2)new students intended to use services related to registration, academic and career counseling, orientation, and study techniques; (3)over 10 percent of new students who defined a service as essential indicated they would never use the service; (4)over 30 percent of the faculty and 60 percent of currently enrolled students were unable to evaluate student personnel services except for those services related to admissions, orientation, academic advisement, and registration; (5)faculty tended to rate as inadequate services connected to the placement of students in courses, academic advisement, and recruitment; and (6)the majority of students, both new and currently enrolled, indicated a lack of interest in personal or social counseling.

Abstract/Description
This dissertation has been an attempt to measure the relative effectiveness of professional academic advisement to full-time degree seeking students of Miami-Dade Community College, North Campus. The independent variables were treatment (advisement or self-advisement), sex (male or female), and age (under 26 years or 26 years and older). The criterion variables were grade point average, withdrawal rate (within term), retention rate (term to term), graduation rate, number of course drops, and...
Show moreThis dissertation has been an attempt to measure the relative effectiveness of professional academic advisement to full-time degree seeking students of Miami-Dade Community College, North Campus. The independent variables were treatment (advisement or self-advisement), sex (male or female), and age (under 26 years or 26 years and older). The criterion variables were grade point average, withdrawal rate (within term), retention rate (term to term), graduation rate, number of course drops, and frequency of schedule changes. To summarize the major conclusions drawn by this researcher: 1. Advised students, regardless of sex or age, drop fewer courses than do self-advised students. 2. There is no difference between advised and self-advised students in terms of the frequency of class schedule changes. 3. Differences in sex or age do not interact significantly with the academic advisement treatment in terms of the student success criteria of grade point average, withdrawal rate, retention rate, graduation rate, frequency of course drops, or frequency of schedule changes. 4. The relationships between the academic advisement treatment and the student success criteria of grade point average, withdrawal rate, retention rate, and graduation rate are inconclusive and merit further research.
