The Effects of Formal Mentoring on the Retention Rates for First-Year, Low Achieving Students. (2005, background): “Others (Berger, 2002; Fleck, 2000; Tinto, 1987; Wild & Ebbers, 2002) have identified student completion rates as a fundamental measurement of an institution s success in meeting student needs.”
AN ORIENTATION COURSE AND COMMUNITY COLLEGE RETENTION (2004, background): “Further complicating the study of community college retention is the lack of concise definitions for retention criteria ( Astin, Korn, & Green, 1987 ; Wild & Ebbs, 2002 ).”
Understanding the Racial Transfer Gap: Modeling Underrepresented Minority and Nonminority Students’ Pathways from Two-to Four-Year Institutions (2014, background): “Second, it responds to calls for conceptual models of understanding transfer that account for context-specific student characteristics, behaviors, and experiences of community college students (Bailey, Jenkins, & Leinbach, 2005; Wild & Ebbers, 2002).”
The Impact of Mentoring on the Success of Community College Students (2010, background): “…Hurtado, Bowman, & Oseguera, 2008; Nora & Cabrera, 1996; Ostrove & Long, 2007; Rhee, 2008), researchers continue to call for additional persistence research/ theory specific to community college students (Bailey & Alfonso, 2005; Pascarella, 1999; Pascarella & Terenzini, 1998; Wild & Ebbers, 2002).”
Student Characteristics Related to Persistence for First-Year Community College Students (2005, background): “Wild and Ebbers (2002) identified three factors for community college students’ academic success and retention beyond the first semester: 1) initial identification of the student’s goal; 2) periodic verification or adjustment of the goal; and 3) persistence of the student toward the goal.”
Student retention and engagement in higher education (2020, background): “…phenomena are related to – and hence being able to better predict which students are likely to persist and which may need additional support, remains a key interest (e.g. DeWitz, Woolsey, and Walsh 2009; Forsman et al. 2014, Reason 2009; Wetzel, O’Toole, and Peterson 1999; Wild and Ebbers 2002).”
Differential predictors of persistence between community college adult and traditional-aged students (2008, background): “Institutionally, high attrition rates often impact an institution's ability to plan and budget, affecting the institution's economic stability (Strauss & Volkwein, 2004 ; Wild & Ebbers, 2002 ).”
Predictors of First-Year Student Retention in the Community College (2008, methodology): “Zhai and Monzon (2001) note that community college students claim that financial difficulties are a key reason for their failure to persist. Based on a review of the literature, Lichtenstein (2002) concludes that financial aid is associated with persistence but models have not been developed that su”
