The theoretical framework started with graduate education in its legal aspects and with a quarrel regarding the concepts of teachers' education and teaching practice in the superior level of education, and, from there, it searched the legal and conceptual subsidies of the teaching practices in health education. The research, with qualitative approach, was fulfilled in a particular institution. Sixteen teachers have participated, each one with at least 12 years of experience in this institution and at least 3 years of teaching experience, being 7 of the Medical course, 2 of the Nursing course, 3 of the Physiotherapy course, 3 of the Occupational Therapy course and 1 of the Nutrition course. The data collect included a semi-structuralized interview on July 2006 and a structuralized interview on November 2006. The content analysis (FRANCO, 2005) was privileged as the analysis technique. The teachers' inquiry specificity has demanded a deep study on the collected data and the theory to point out some themes which could help in the definition of identity configurations, which were: graduate, teaching, learning of teaching, institution, student, family, self-image and projects. Each one of these themes was explored through the biographical and relational transactions of the teachers. Each of the teachers' identity configurations have been defined and, based on the themes exploited and on the perception of the crises by the teachers, four teaching professional models have been raised: blocked pioneer, critical pioneer, converted resigned and converted transformers. It could be evidenced that the teaching profession was consolidated in the quest for the diploma by the way of teacher's education courses and social attributed mandate. It was also evidenced that the institution was a guide for their inservice teacher education, therapeutics and teaching practices / O objetivo desta investigação foi apreender a concepção de docência de um grupo de professores da área da Saúde e verificar as suas configurações identitárias docentes, construídas nas trajetórias pessoais e profissionais (DUBAR, 2005). O referencial teórico partiu de conhecimentos sobre o ensino superior em seus aspectos legais e de uma discussão a respeito do conceito de formação de professores e da prática docente nesse nível de ensino, para, a partir daí, buscar os subsídios legais e conceituais da prática docente no ensino superior em Saúde. A pesquisa, com abordagem qualitativa, realizou-se em uma instituição particular. Participaram 16 professores com no mínimo 12 anos de atuação na instituição e 3 anos de docência, sendo 7 do curso de Medicina, 2 do curso de Enfermagem, 3 do curso de Fisioterapia, 3 do curso de Terapia Ocupacional e 1 do curso de Nutrição. A coleta de dados deu-se por meio de uma entrevista semi-estruturada, realizada em julho de 2006, e uma entrevista estruturada, realizada em novembro de 2006. Quanto à técnica de análise, privilegiou-se a análise de conteúdo (FRANCO, 2005). O levantamento de temas que pudessem auxiliar na identificação das configurações identitárias exigiu um debruçar sobre o corpus de análise e sobre a teoria. Esses temas foram: formação, docência, aprendizagem da docência, instituição, relação professor e aluno, família, auto-imagem e projetos. Cada um desses temas foi explorado por meio das transações biográficas e relacionais dos professores. Definiram-se as configurações identitárias docentes de cada professor e, com base nos temas e na percepção de crises por parte dos professores, foram elaborados quatro modelos profissionais docentes: pioneiros bloqueados, pioneiros críticos, convertidos resignados e convertidos transformadores. A investigação permitiu que se constatasse que a profissão de professor do ensino superior consolida-se pela busca do diploma via pós-graduação e pelo mandato socialmente atribuído, bem como que a instituição é um eixo norteador da formação, da atuação terapêutica e da atuação docente

The complex nature of healthcare requires nurse leaders to be skilled in professional practice, communication, teamwork, and problem solving to improve staff satisfaction and patient outcomes. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing and Institute of Medicine promotes graduate education for nurse leaders to enhance the delivery of quality care to the nation's diverse patient populations. Guided by the diffusion of innovation theory, this project explored the differences in nursing care hours, staff turnover, nurse quality indicators, as well as leadership characteristics on units lead by masters-prepared and non-masters-prepared nurses. Forty-eight nurse leaders completed the impact of graduate education among nurse leaders (IGENL) survey addressing perceptions of their ability to change practice, teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills. Staffing reports, Nurse Quality Indicators (NQI), and Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) data were collected from 34 hospital units. Data were summarized and t tests were conducted to examine the differences in NQI and HCAHPS data from units lead by nurses with and without a graduate degree. No significant differences were noted in these measures. In the IGENL survey data, the nurse leaders with a graduate degree had significantly higher scores on the leadership characteristic subscales of professional practice, communication and teamwork, and problem solving than did those without. The outcome of this project can contribute to positive social change within healthcare organizations by supporting the pursuit of graduate education for nurse leaders, which could enhance leadership attributes and subsequently improve staff satisfaction and patient outcomes.

This study examines the impact of academic and personal life on graduate student persistence and transformation. Of particular interest are the relationships, emotions, and life management skills required throughout the graduate experience and how socialization, emotional intelligence, and advising aid students through their academic program. With an average of seven to eight years required to complete a doctoral program, life happens. Students enter and leave relationships, children are born, family members have emergencies, health issues arise, and emotional growth takes place. Therefore, students transform not only academically, but in many ways. These are intertwined as evidenced by the data-derived system representation. The importance of understanding the interconnected links in graduate experience spans academic, social, economic, and societal spheres. Each year hundreds of thousands of students enter graduate school. However, for doctoral students, there is an enormous gap between acceptance and completion. After seven years, approximately 50 percent complete their program and after ten years the rate climbs to only 57 percent (Council of Graduate Schools, 2010). This study offers a systemic representation and a four-stage model of graduate student development, incorporating student-identified factors: Faculty Impact, Life Management, Relationships, Playing the Game, Growth/Transformation, Emotions, and Reward/Purpose. Stage I: Orientation and Socialization Stage II: Adjustment and Transition Stage III: Navigation and Transformation Stage IV: Completion and Advancement The results, presented as a systems-based model, along with analysis, may be used to support faculty, advisors, and administrators in creating better advising, orientation, evaluation, and support systems. Departmental policies may be improved to identify at-risk students, provide mentorship opportunities, or obtain continual feedback to understand the underlying factors that may stop students from progressing. This research might also help identify students during the application/admission process. The methodological framework used to create the system produced in this study is Interactive Qualitative Analysis (Northcutt & McCoy, 2004), a methodology that provides the quantitative rigor of algorithmically generated data analysis, combined with the qualitative descriptiveness of interviews, in order to provide insights into the drivers of graduate school persistence. This methodology uses a systematic, protocol-driven research procedure to construct a unified, descriptive diagram to illustrate the phenomenon. / text

This study investigated the effects of journal writing with or without giving feedback and grade, compared to the traditional teaching on integral achievement of students with different learning styles. In addition, students&rsquo / ideas about the journal writing activities in the mathematics classes were investigated. The study was carried out with 87 first year engineering students at Atilim University from three classes. Two groups were assigned as experimental groups (EG1 and EG2) and one group was assigned as the control group (CG). Students in all groups received the same instruction on integral. Experimental groups (EG1 and EG2) also engaged in journal writing activities besides lectures. Journal writings of the EG1 students were graded and feedback was given. Journal writings of the EG2 students, however, were not graded and feedback was not given. Two open-ended achievement tests on integral were developed. One of them was used as pre-test / the other was used as post-test. In addition, Kolb&rsquo / s Learning Style Inventory was administered as pre-test to determine the learning styles of the students. Follow-up interviews were conducted with ten students from EG1 and EG2. Additionally, v classrooms were observed during the treatment. The results of the ANCOVA suggest that neither the groups&rsquo / achievement nor the achievement of the students having different learning styles in each group differ significantly on integral. The results of the interviews, however, showed that students found journal writing activities as an effective teaching method and wanted to be engaged in the activity for the future.

<p>This dissertation takes a multi-level approach to studying attrition and time-to-completion (TTC) in Canadian graduate programs. I draw on three distinct data sources to provide macro, meso, and micro-level analyses of the characteristics, program features, and other aspects that affect graduate student outcomes. My research is informed by existing attrition models and frameworks and takes a policy sociology approach to providing evidence-based recommendations to be implemented at government, institution, and department levels.</p> <p>My meso-level analysis presented in chapter two uses logistic regression and discrete-time survival analysis with time-varying covariates to analyze data from the Youth in Transition Survey, Cohort B. The pre-entry attributes identified in Tinto’s (1993) model of attrition are examined to help to uncover the type of student most likely to dropout of graduate school. Certain demographic and background characteristics, such as being married and having children, are shown to reduce the likelihood of graduating, while academic performance and experiences tend to be most relevant for entry to graduate school.</p> <p>My third chapter presents my meso-level analysis of TTC and completion rates for thirteen doctoral programs at Carleton University using publically available data for six cohorts. In an effort to deepen our understanding of the variation that exists, program requirements, obtained from archived graduate calendars, are coded and included in my analysis. The results show that at the faculty level, Science reports the lowest average TTC, only slightly lower than Engineering, and Social Sciences have substantially longer average TTC. Completion rates are also shown to vary by discipline and faculty, with Science again reporting the highest completion rates and Social Sciences the lowest. In addition to differences by faculty and disciplines, certain program requirements are found to be negatively associated with successfully completing a doctoral degree.</p> <p>The fourth chapter contains my micro-level analysis of two Sociology departments in two Ontario research intensive universities. My research was informed by interviews with completers, non-completers, and faculty I shed light on the process of attrition and barriers to timely completion. This chapter highlights how aspirations differ between groups of students, and how a department’s climate can have indirect effects on student outcomes. Faculty and students are shown to have some different perceptions of factors that lead to non-completion and the importance of supervisory relationships is found to be paramount to both student experiences and outcomes. Students face many challenges throughout their journey in the doctoral program, but many can be overcome through a department’s recognition of challenges faced as well as a commitment to improve them. Additionally, this paper highlights barriers to timely completion and reasons for withdrawal.</p> / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
