Author(s):  
Najmuddin Shaik

Theories of student attrition based on Tinto’s Student Integration Model are limited in their ability to provide a comprehensive framework to design a computer-adaptive online exit survey. An alternative framework encompassing the overall impressions and experiences of the dropout students during their stay at the institution is used to design the exit survey. This chapter outlines the conceptual and methodological issues surrounding computer-adaptive online exit surveys, and discusses the design, development, and administration of the survey questionnaire.

The National Certificate (Vocational) (NC(V)) was introduced into South Africa’s system of vocational training to ‘solve problems of poor quality programmes, lack of relevance to the economy, as well as low technical and cognitive skills of TVET [technical and vocational education and training] graduates’. The NC(V) did not, however, meet expectations, partially because of systemic difficulties. This article reports on research conducted among students who studied on the NC(V) Civil and Construction programme in an effort to identify appropriate corrections that could be made by college management. The research project made use of Tinto’s Student Integration Model to identify reasons for both student attrition and student persistence. The study provides information on the predicament facing TVET Civil and Construction students and has broad relevance for practitioners operating in higher and post-school education.

<p>This study aims to determine: (1) What personality psychology syllabus content Islami (2) how the depth of the material being taught personality psychology, and (3) how the competencies of personality psychology lecturer Islami (4) how the integration model of personality psychology West and Islam. The research is a qualitative research, carried out at two Islamic universities namely Lampung Muhammadiyah University and the State Islamic Institute Raden Intan Lampung. Capturing data source is purposive and snowbaal, data analysis is inductive/qualitative. Data collection through interviews, observation, documentation. Analysis and interpretation of data from data reduction, data display verification and draw conclusions. The result of this study indicate that two Islamic Universities in Lampung ie the Psychology Program of Muhammadiyah’s Lampung University and Islamic Psycology Program of IAIN Raden Intan Lampung, still taught their students the psychology of personality in the perspective of western view. The worldview of lecturers in teaching has not been using an integrated approach to interconnect. Efforts to integrate the science of personality psychology begins with the conceptual mastery includes axiology, epistemology and ontology. Axiology psychology Islamic personality that is based on the source of Islamic law revelation (al-Qur'an and as-sunna). Islamic personality psychology is the scientific study that seeks to understand the circumstances and causes of individual behavior by source of truth to the holy book. Epistemology of personality psychology Islam is the way to seek the truth about the substance that is to be disclosed, epistemology talk about what can be known and how to find out. In this issue, meaning aksiologik was instrumental in determining the truth epistemologik. Ontology function sets the substance to be achieved is to understand human beings in accordance with sunnatullahnya. Then verses that talk about including the terms as nafs, man, basyar, aql, soul, qalb can be used as a reference. To be able to pursue the meaning and essence, not just the symptoms. There are five stages in the development of curriculum (syllabus) Islamic personality psychology courses (integrated): first do the analysis, the design, development third, fourth fifth and final implementation evaluation. Starting from the early stages of preparing the course syllabus integrated personality psychology known ADDIE development model. The integration model of Western and Islamic Psychology is implemented at various levels, namely: (1) Philosophy level, (2) material level which done in three models, the first, the integration in the curriculum. The second, naming model in the field that shows the relationship between Islamic and other field. The third, the integration model in doing the learning process. (3) reviewing the concepts and theories of western psychology by sorting out the contents that contradict the teaching of Islam. (4) Strategy level. In this level, the lecturers’ quality and skill were as the key of success in running learning based on interconnect integration.</p><p><strong><em>Keyworld</em></strong><em>:</em><em> Integration model, islamic psychology, personality</em></p>

Despite increased promotion, sanitation programmes have varying degrees of success partly because of limited consideration of the wider context beyond individual factors in programme design. Although a recent model, Integrated Behaviour Model for Water Sanitation and Hygiene (IBM-WASH) comprehensively addresses this gap, the model focuses on the initial adoption factors and lacks emphasis on the functioning of the entire sanitation system from toilet usage to the safe disposal of the waste. Hence application of the model is limited, to some degree, in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals for sanitation which have broadened the scope for sustainable sanitation service. Based on a review of available frameworks, this paper proposes an alternative comprehensive framework using an ecological public health approach to health determinants but does so through application across the spectrum of sanitation stages. A systematic literature review on sanitation adoption factors and comparative analysis of the proposed framework and the IBM-WASH framework was conducted to analyse the benefits of the framework. The findings show that different factors operate differently for each sanitation service stage, requiring a different set of actions for each stage. Our alternative framework can better address factors across sanitation stages and encourage collaboration among stakeholders with different disciplinary backgrounds.

The limited time and low participation of students in discussion activities in the classroom causes the optimal process of lecturing, especially in the subjects of statistical physics. On the other hand, the rapid development of information technology and social media and the occurrence of a paradigm shift in learning to be an active creative education bring challenges and solutions. The number of lecturers and students who use social media Whatsapp, media that allows sharing of information online, easy, fast and cheap, is an alternative solution for the not optimal learning process in the classroom so far. So it is necessary to do research that produces a social media-based technology integration model for discussion activities outside the classroom. This type of research takes the form of research and development. The process of developing learning media with online discussion using whatsapp refers to the Four-D development model which includes 4 stages: Define, design, development, and Dissemination. The results generated are whatsapp-based online discussion models that can be used as a reference for educators who will utilize whatsapp social media in learning both in school and college. Keywords: information technology, Whatsapp, online discussion, integration model

This chapter introduces the authors’ experiences to create three online graduate communities, focusing correspondingly on: (a) conducting program orientation for students enrolled in an online Master’s program, (b) performing program assessment for Master’s students, and (c) providing an environment for doctoral students to communicate and support one another. A logistic prediction model was generated from a pilot assessment on student needs and preference to an online community. Initial steps to design and develop the three online communities are described. The theoretical framework employed in the design consists of three design models: Information Technology Design (ITD) integration model, Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation (ADDIE) design model, and Activity Structure System (ASS) model.

It is widely recognized that the United States needs to attract and retain more people in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers. Intensive undergraduate research experiences (UREs) are one of the few strategies shown to improve longitudinal student interest and persistence in STEM-related career pathways; however, less is known about the underlying process linking activities to positive outcomes. The tripartite integration model of social influences (TIMSI) provides a framework for understanding the social influence processes by which students integrate into STEM careers and culture. The current study used a longitudinal design and latent growth curve modeling to examine and predict the development of scientific research career persistence intentions over the course of an intensive summer URE. The latent growth curve analysis showed that student persistence intentions declined and rebounded over the course of the summer. Furthermore, the positive impact of faculty mentor role modeling on growth trajectories was mediated through internalization of science community values. In addition, project ownership was found to buffer students from the typical trend of declining and rebounding persistence intentions. The TIMSI framework illuminates the contextual features and underlying psychological processes that link UREs to student integration into STEM careers and culture.
