Adult Transfer

Adult students are critical to addressing the college completion crisis. Retention and completion for adults lags behind students who enter college directly from high school. However, higher education has largely been built around service to younger high school graduates, and institutions are slow to change. A shift in focus to accommodate the needs and interests of adult learners will require additional research regarding the enrollment patterns and behaviours of adult students. This study uses quantitative methods and the Beginning Postsecondary Students 12/14 dataset to consider the role of transfer in the experience of the adult learner, with specific attention to the characteristics, demographics and experiences of adult transfer students as well as the predictors of reverse and lateral transfer behaviour in adult student populations.

Why is Israel world-renowned as the ‘start-up nation’ and a leading source of technological innovation? While existing scholarship focuses on the importance of skill development during Israel Defense Forces (IDF) service, we argue that the key role of the Academic Reserve has been overlooked. Established in the 1950s as part of David Ben-Gurion’s vision for a scientifically and technologically advanced defense force, the Academic Reserve is a special program in which the IDF sends selected high school graduates to earn academic degrees before they complete an extended term of military service. After finishing their service, most participants go on to contribute to Israel’s successful high-tech industry. By focusing on the role of the Academic Reserve, we provide a broader understanding of Israel’s ongoing technological success.

Integrating mobile technology in schools has become a growing trend in recent years. Studies suggest that the use of tablets has potential contributions for learning. The current study explored the use of tablets for learning among 427 high school students, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative methods. The purpose was to assess students’ perceptions toward the effectiveness of using tablets in learning and to examine a model in which perceived engagement mediates the effects of content usage types, and technological and social aspects on perceived learning. The findings indicate that overall, students reported moderate levels of positive attitudes toward tablet use in learning. In addition, it was found that the more students consumed information via tablets, perceived tablet software as easy to use, and communicated with other students through tablets, the higher their engagement was, which in turn led to more positive perceptions of learning. Moreover, a qualitative content analysis indicated that students perceived the technological aspects as the main advantage, and barrier, of using tablets for learning. The implications of the results, as well as the role of perceived engagement in enhancing learning outcomes, are discussed in the context of tablet use in learning.

The question of how field of study at university predicts later earnings is of great theoretical and practical relevance. However, when investigating the role of field of study for earnings, researchers often rely on descriptive data with only a few control variables. The present study went beyond such estimates by investigating how field of study relates to earnings when holding important psychological and sociological constructs at the end of high school constant. The analyses were based on a unique longitudinal dataset of 1,162 German high school graduates followed for 14 years, which includes measures of abilities, personality, and family background. Structural equation models revealed significant earnings premia for the fields of engineering/technology, medicine/health, and business/economics even after controlling for abilities, personality, and family background. Including those control variables reduced the raw field of study effects.

This article offers a preliminary overview of a study that investigates the experiences of adult learners residing in rural communities in the state of South Australia. Online delivery of adult education is growing, allowing more individuals who are remote from learning sites to engage with further education. Increased educational opportunity to participate in learning as well as social policy developments with an emphasis on continuing education offers a chance in research to understand the developments generated by adult education. The work presented here shows a way of investigating social engagement offered through education, especially those that allow rural students to enhance their chances across the life course. It does so through engaging with the reports from adult students. Understanding the role of education through the social experiences of adult students in rural communities highlights the role of education in the areas of personal, social and community development.

Holistic Training

Through the information, knowledge and values offered, the educational process aims at forming and shaping characters. The Christian character presupposes an improvement of each faculty of the soul through the relationship between grace and freedom and their constant harmonization, which can be achieved only with the help of a moral-religious education.If in most study disciplines the emphasis is mainly on information, in the case of religious education, the emphasis is on the formative aspect, which brings a balance in the holistic training of the young person. Based on the descriptions of the key competencies, the training profile of the high school graduate was derived from a European Commission document on these competencies on three levels of acquisition: elementary, functional and developed. Thus, by achieving the derived competencies proposed in the religious classes, the eight competencies aimed at training the graduate for integration into society can be developed.
