More Than a Pipeline Problem: Labor Supply Constraints and Gender Stratification Across Academic Science DisciplinesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2002
Stephen Kulis, Diane Sicotte, Shawn Collins
Employing a nationally representative sample of science faculty in U.S. colleges, we investigate 3 explanations for persisting differences in women's faculty representation across science fields even after adjusting for women's variable representation among doctoral recipients. First, we examine labor market factors: (a) differential growth rates and “critical mass” in the supply of women doctoral...... hiện toàn bộ
Are Public Master’s Institutions Cost Efficient? A Stochastic Frontier and Spatial AnalysisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 58 - Trang 469-496 - 2016
Marvin A. Titus, Adriana Vamosiu, Kevin R. McClure
The current study examines costs, measured by educational and general (E&G) spending, and cost efficiency at 252 public master’s institutions in the United States over a nine-year (2004–2012) period. We use a multi-product quadratic cost function and results from a random-effects model with a first-order autoregressive (AR1) disturbance term to calculate economies of scale with regard to undergrad...... hiện toàn bộ
Mastery learning and students' attributions at the college levelSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 20 - Trang 491-498 - 1984
Thomas R. Guskey, Jacques S. Benninga, Charlette R. Clark
This study was designed to determine whether the more favorable learning conditions provided by mastery learning procedures result in higher levels of achievement and more internal attributions on the part of college students. One hundred twenty-two undergraduate students enrolled in a general education course at a large state university participated in the study. Results showed that although stud...... hiện toàn bộ
Developing Peer Groups for the Oregon University System: From Politics to Analysis (and Back)Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 41 - Trang 1-20 - 2000
Susan F. Weeks, Dave Puckett, Ruth Daron
In the fall of 1997, institutional research staff in the central office of the Oregon University System were asked to build a set of peer comparators for the state's seven diverse public universities. The peer groups were to serve the analytic needs of budgeting, performance measurement, and trend analysis. Because of several critical political issues requiring interinstitutional unity, the peer g...... hiện toàn bộ
Non-completion, Transfer, and Dropout of Traditional and Non-traditional Students in GermanySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 61 - Trang 117-141 - 2019
Nicole Tieben
A considerable proportion of students in Germany has graduated from vocational training before entering higher education. With this paper we examined how these students progress through higher education. We argue that successful graduation is the result of a sequence of decisions and decompose the trajectories through higher education to distinguish non-completion, transfer and dropout. We used th...... hiện toàn bộ
The production of Ph.D.'s in chemistrySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 259-276 - 1983
Lowell L. Hargens
Data for 434 graduate faculty members of U.S. departments of chemistry during 1954–57 show that the distribution of new Ph.D. production is positively skewed with a level of inequality similar to that of the production of publications. Ph.D. production has moderate positive associations with measures of recognition and eminence, but an exploratory regression analysis of its determinants shows a su...... hiện toàn bộ
