Although recent research suggests that congruence between students and their academic environment is critical for successful
student outcomes, little research has been done on student college major choice. Using Holland’s theory of careers, we analyze
college major choice using a multinomial logit model. We use the CIRP Freshman Survey and institutional data for three cohorts
of first-year students at a selective liberal arts college to study the factors that affect college major choice, both at
entry and at graduation. 相似文献

This study examines variability in the extent to which faculty members in the disciplinary-based academic environments of
Holland’s theory emphasize different student learning outcomes in their classes and whether such differences are comparable
for those in “consistent” versus “inconsistent” environments. The findings show wide variation in the extent to which faculty
members in four of the academic environments of Holland’s theory emphasize the alternative student learning outcomes and that
such differences vary based on the level of consistency or inconsistency in the environmental profiles of the environments.
The implications of these findings for future research using Holland’s theory to understand longitudinal patterns of change
and stability in the attitudes, interests, and abilities of college students as well as variability in the patterns of professional
attitudes and behaviors of college faculty are discussed. Attention is also devoted to the policy development and practical
implications of these findings for academic advisors, career counselors, and other college and university leaders. 相似文献

This study applies an integrated model of college choice to better describe students who do and do not intend to study abroad.
Although internationalization through study abroad is widely touted as a preferred means of developing globally competent
college graduates, very little is known about the factors that influence students’ predisposition to study abroad. This research
explores the impact of financial, human, social, and cultural capital on students’ intent to study abroad. Analysis of data
from the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education (WNSLAE) demonstrates a complex interplay between SES, accumulated
pre-college capital, and capital acquired during the freshman year. Important implications for national policy makers, senior
administrators, study abroad professionals and higher education researchers are discussed. 相似文献

Research on faculty productivity fails to account for the hierarchical nature of the data. Faculty members within an academic discipline more closely resemble one another than faculty in other disciplines, resulting in dependent observations and thus inaccurate statistical results. Unlike ordinary least squares, multilevel modeling takes into account this grouping effect. This article analyzes the research productivity of 1,104 tenured/tenure-track faculty from the 1993 NSOPF survey to compare traditional regression models with a random coefficients model. The results indicate a large grouping effect on research productivity, and the statistical as well as the substantive results of the random coefficients model differ significantly from the regression approach. 相似文献

While many studies have examined nonresponse in student surveys, little research investigates why some schools achieve higher
student survey response rates than other schools. Using hierarchical linear modeling, we analyze survey data from 321 institutions
that participated in the 2003 National Survey of Student Engagement to understand how characteristics of colleges and universities
relate to student survey response rates. We find that the makeup of the student body, as well as institutional characteristics
such public/private status and urban location affects response rates, and that the number of computers per undergraduate has
a strong positive effect for web survey response rates. 相似文献
