Recommendations for preparing college and university learning assistance professionals developed from a descriptive study of practitioners in public postsecondary institutions in California

This study examined the education and preparation of
220 full-time learning assistance professionals in
California's public Community College, State University, and
University of California systems. The purpose of the study
was to describe selected characteristics of the
professionals and to assess their implications for future
training programs. The results were reported in percents
of responses, and analysis revealed considerable uniformity
among the respondents despite the differences among the
three public systems of higher education. The results of
the study also suggested the importance of a uniform
curriculum being established to prepare future learning
assistance professionals for the field. Based upon the
information generated by the results of the study, and a
review of the literature, guidelines were developed
that consisted of competencies and activities that should be
included in a program designed to educate and train full-time
learning assistance profesionals at the Master's degree
level. Recommendations were included in the study. / Graduation date: 1993
