  • 1.  Student engagement, college GPA, college graduation rates

    Posted 09-06-2011 10:38
    I recognize that this a bit off topic for this list serv. Is their any literature review, narrative or quantitative, that addresses the question of whether student engagement efforts have any effect on college GPA or college graduation rates?  

    Thanks,

    YOu can check the following website, www.selfdeterminationtheory.org and click on publications, then on education. You will find many empirical studies in schools about this (looking at GPA, dropout, etc.).

    Robert J. Vallerand has also published about this.

    Hi Mike,

    Within the field of higher ed administration, George Kuh is widely respected as the expert on student engagement.  He founded the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE, http://nsse.iub.edu/html/about.cfm) and has been a leader in the area of learning outcomes and assessment.  You might find answers to your questions in his research stream.

    Cheers,
    Angela

    The classic works in this area seem to be by Astin. Here are a few other works that I came across as I worked on a little project on student engagement.  Hopefully this will at least help you find more stuff.

     

    Astin, A. W. (1999). Student involvement: A developmental theory for higher education. Journal of College Student Development 40(5), 518-529.

     

    Kuh, G.D., Cruce, T.M., Shoup, R., Kinzie, J., & Gonyea, R.M. (2008).  Unmasking the effects of student engagement on first-year college grades and persistence. The Journal of Higher Education 79 (5), 540-563

     

    Pike, G.R. & Kuh, G.D. (2005).  A typology of student engagement for American colleges and universities. Research in Higher Education 46 (2), 185-209.

    Tinto, V. (1975).  Dropout from higher education: A theoretical synthesis of recent research. Review of Educational Research 45 (1), 89-125.
