Student Experiences

This pilot project funded by the Student Services and Amenities Fee tested an approach for coordinated support to students with complex, multiple social, health, academic and behavioural needs. Strategies have been designed for effective student participation and access to appropriate services. It was concluded that when working in partnership with students, wraparound support from academic and professional staff increases positive student experiences and outcomes.

Introduction:Numerous challenges can impede the quality of ambulance service clinical placements for undergraduate paramedicine students. Inspired by positive results from a nursing facilitator model, this study reports on a collaboration between an Australian university and ambulance service that piloted a paramedic clinical facilitator for undergraduate paramedic students during their ambulance clinical placements. The objective of this study is to describe the experiences of a clinical facilitator model for undergraduate paramedicine students during ambulance clinical placements.Methods:Two focus groups with a total of 11 paramedic student participants were conducted, as well as two semi-structured interviews with a total of three paramedic preceptors. Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants. Thematic analysis was used to code and identify themes in the data.Results:Three broad, over-arching themes arise from the data; 1.) Increased educational opportunities, 2.) Improved clinical placement management, and 3.) Greater student support and welfare. Both students and paramedic preceptors felt that the paramedic clinical facilitator model improved the quality of ambulance clinical placements for undergraduate paramedicine students. Conclusion:This study suggests that a paramedic clinical facilitator model may improve the quality of ambulance service clinical placements for undergraduate paramedicine students, leading to a more positive learning experience. Universities and ambulance services could consider implementing a paramedic facilitator model for ambulance clinical placements.

Friendship Stability

This article expands research on normative school transitions (NSTs) from elementary to middle school or middle to high school by examining the extent to which they disrupt structures of friendship networks. Social network analysis is used to quantify aspects of connectedness likely relevant to student experiences of social support. Data were drawn from 25 communities followed from sixth to ninth grades. Variability in timing of NSTs permitted multi-level longitudinal models to disentangle developmental effects from transition effects. Results indicated that friendship networks were most interconnected in smaller schools and among older students. Beyond these effects, transitions from a single feeder school to a single higher level school were not associated with changes in friendship patterns. Transitions from multiple feeder schools to a single higher level school were associated with diminished friendship stability, more loosely connected friendship networks, increased social distance between students, and friendship segregation between students who formerly attended different schools.

The Relationship

<p>The profile of the typical college student attending a 4-year institution is changing. Trends<br />indicate that while the population of traditional students, aged 18-22, remains flat or is<br />declining, the population of nontraditional students, aged 24 and older, is increasing. As a<br />result, nontraditional students have become the new traditional student population. Despite<br />this shift in student demographics, many colleges and universities have been slow to respond<br />to the changing needs of their student populations. Consequently, nontraditional students are<br />forced to navigate an academic environment that is ill equipped to provide the unique support<br />they need to achieve academic success. Previous studies have primarily focused on the<br />academic success of nontraditional students in relation to student attrition and retention. The<br />purpose of this study was to determine if there was a significant relationship between the<br />academic success of nontraditional students and the use of student support programs. Data<br />from the 2011 National Survey of Engagement were used for the study. Results from this<br />study indicate that there is a direct correlation between the use of student support programs<br />and the academic success of nontraditional students; however, the relationship is weak. In<br />addition, age and gender were found to influence some of the relationships between academic<br />success and the use of student support programs. In contrast, race or ethnicity was not shown<br />to influence the relationships between the variables of interest. Findings may help leaders in<br />higher education to make more informed and strategic decisions regarding student support<br />programs and resource allocation.</p>

Original Approach

PurposeThis paper problematises student support in higher education during the Covid-19 crisis and proposes an original approach of social network analysis for developing effective support for students from different socio-economic backgrounds.Design/methodology/approachIn this forward-thinking essay, the authors draw on theoretical ideas from Hannah Arendt in conceptualising the destructive and productive nature of societal crises such as the Covid-19 pandemic. We also draw on literature on social network analysis in exploring student support.FindingsThe authors propose a number of recommendations for university staff to consider when developing effective student support, ranging from nurturing their own professional capital to mapping student support networks and the role of faculty within these.Originality/valueThis paper emphasises the importance of developing effective student support that works for students from different socio-economic backgrounds. This is essential to avoid regression in widening participation policies and practices, and to promote inclusive university environments.

In the present study we link self-report-data on personality to behavior recorded on the mobile phone. This new approach from Psychoinformatics collects data from humans in everyday life. It demonstrates the fruitful collaboration between psychology and computer science, combining Big Data with psychological variables. Given the large number of variables, which can be tracked on a smartphone, the present study focuses on the traditional features of mobile phones – namely incoming and outgoing calls and SMS. We observed N = 49 participants with respect to the telephone/SMS usage via our custom developed mobile phone app for 5 weeks. Extraversion was positively associated with nearly all related telephone call variables. In particular, Extraverts directly reach out to their social network via voice calls.

Social Network Size

Previous studies showed that extraversion influences social network size. However, it is unclear how extraversion affects the size of different layers of the network, and how extraversion relates to the emotional intensity of social relationships. We examined the relationships between extraversion, network size, and emotional closeness for 117 individuals. The results demonstrated that extraverts had larger networks at every layer (support clique, sympathy group, outer layer). The results were robust and were not attributable to potential confounds such as sex, though they were modest in size (raw correlations between extraversion and size of network layer, .20 < r < .23). However, extraverts were not emotionally closer to individuals in their network, even after controlling for network size. These results highlight the importance of considering not just social network size in relation to personality, but also the quality of relationships with network members.
