Online learning continues be the largest growth sector in higher education (IPEDS, 2019), however, students enrolled in fully online programs are retained at a lower rate than students enrolled in traditional face to face programs. The purpose of this quantitative correlational study is to determine if online students who participate in an online…

Predicting students' performance to identify which students are at risk of receiving a D/Fail/Withdraw (DFW) grade and ensuring their timely graduation is not just desirable but also necessary in most educational entities. In the US, not only is the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) major becoming less popular among…

In 1996, the Chemistry Department at Norwich University converted its two-semester General Chemistry course from a traditional lecture to a Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) classroom. The change to POGIL teaching in Norwich General Chemistry classes was brought about by a steady decline in student performance, as demonstrated by…

One notable outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic was the increased availability of online learning opportunities for higher education students.

Research on the transition from high school to university supports that over 90% of students will notice their grades decrease when entering first-year university. However, the nature of this drop remains largely unknown. The current study proposes a path analysis model to explore the mechanism by which traits of resilience (i.e., locus of…

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) careers remain in high demand, and the United States continues to compete globally to expand its STEM workforce while addressing persistent racial and gender disparities. This study employed structural equation modeling (SEM) with multigroup analyses to examine the relationships among high…

Academic achievement is considered as one of the major factors in the learning process, as it is one of the complex variables that have an important influence on learning.
