Book Synopsis Efficacy of a Freshman Outdoor Orientation Program on Student Transition to University Life by : Jessica Nendza
Download or read book Efficacy of a Freshman Outdoor Orientation Program on Student Transition to University Life written by Jessica Nendza. This book was released on 2016. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outdoor Orientation Programs (OOPs) have become a staple at many universities for first year students to assist with the transition to college life. This study examines Penn States AURORA programs to determine whether students who participated in the orientation experience transitioned to college better than students who did not participate. Constructs measured were social support, and academic success as measured by the Campus Focused-Social Provisions Scale and the College Learning Effectiveness Inventory, respectively. The sample of students were first year students who participated in an AURORA program and a control group of first year students (N= 227). Overall, the findings were not significant, however AURORA participants scored significantly higher than non-participants in Time Management (p=.019) and approached significance in Classroom Communication (p=.057). These findings suggest that more in depth studies need to be done on OOPs, specifically long term effects of OOPs and how they impact students after their first year.

Book Synopsis Thriving in Transitions by : Denise D. Nelson
Download or read book Thriving in Transitions written by Denise D. Nelson. This book was released on 2012-05-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thriving in Transitions: A Research-Based Approach to College Student Success represents a paradigm shift in the student success literature. Grounded in positive psychology, the thriving concept reframes the student success conversation by focusing on the characteristics amenable to change and that promote high levels of academic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal performance in the college environment. The authors contend that a focus on remediating student characteristics or merely encouraging specific behaviors is inadequate to promote success in college and beyond. The collection presents six research studies describing the characteristics that predict thriving in different groups of college students, including first-year students, transfer students, high-risk students, students of color, sophomores, and seniors, and offers recommendations for helping students thrive in college and life.
