International Credential Evaluation Service   http://www.bcit.ca/ices/  Site Reviews(0)
Many people who come to live and work in Canada bring with them very high levels of education. Unfortunately, this education may not be recognized by those who don't understand how international credentials compare to our provincial and national systems. The International Credential Evaluation Service (ICES) was established in 1995, with start-up funding from the provincial government of British Columbia, to help people gain the recognition they need to pursue their career and educational goals in Canada. Using well-established evaluation methodologies, ICES evaluates the credentials of people who have studied in other provinces or countries and determines comparable levels in British Columbia and Canadian terms. The results of an ICES assessment are provided in evaluation reports that are objective, consistent, and reliable.

Improving Access to the Baccalaureate   http://www.pathtocollege.org/pdf/Lumina_Rpt_AACC.pdf  Site Reviews(0)
The two national associations representing the majority of public postsecondary institutions and more than 10 million students, recently formed a partnership to bring greater focus to the problem of access and to encourage both expanded dialogue and informed action. With funding from the Lumina Foundation for Education, the American Association of Community Colleges and the American Association of State Colleges and Universities launched an 18-month initiative called “Access to the Baccalaureate.” The Access project set three major goals: to identify nonfinancial barriers to baccalaureate access, to make recommendations for removing such barriers, and to work at appropriate levels to implement solutions. To achieve these goals, the partnership developed and implemented a number of key components: a research study to assess attitudes and perceived barriers; a national conference engaging experts from twoand four-year institutions, state systems, and states to analyze the survey’s findings and contribute their own insights; and a strategic information dissemination program via a summative publication, an interactive Web site, and a “meeting in a box” model that can be replicated at multiple levels of the higher education spectrum. What was learned from the Access project is both challenging and hopeful. Participants identified five broad categories to define barriers: the nontraditional profile of community college students, differing academic missions and institutional capacity between two-year and four-year institutions, faculty attitudes at sending and receiving institutions, inadequate advising and student support services, and current state and system policy decisions. Central to a formidable list of barriers are lack of understanding and open communication between sectors. Many university faculty assume a lack of rigor in community college instruction and a lack of equivalency in course offerings. For their part, many community college faculty maintain a defensiveness and decry the ivory tower attitude of their four-year counterparts. Endemic in these so-called turf battles is a lack of ongoing dialogue and clear communication of curricular changes.

Influences on Community College Students' Educational Plans   http://www.springerlink.com/app/home/contribution.asp?wasp=586569e6d43e4cfebfa4f117978345fd&referrer  Site Reviews(0)
This study analyzed data from 285 students attending 5 community colleges to identify the institutional and college experience variables influencing end-of-first-year educational degree plans. Controlling for an extensive array of important confounding influences, the estimated average precollege degree plans of students at the community college one attended had significant, positive total and direct effects on an individual student's end-of-first-year overall educational degree plans and plans to obtain at least a bachelor's degree. In the prediction of end-of-first-year overall educational degree plans, there were significant conditional effects involving sex, race, and precollege degree plans.

THE IMPACT OF INSTITUTIONAL CHOICE AND ENVIRONMENTS ON AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND WHITE STUDENTS'' DEGRE   http://www.springerlink.com/app/home/contribution.asp?wasp=ed9b56bb6d654b70a2ef2fcaf0b81ba1&referrer  Site Reviews(0)
This study examines the effects of individualcharacteristics, institutional characteristics andexperiences, and financial aid measures onAfrican-American and white college students'' degreeaspirations. The main theoretical foundations for this studyare the status attainment models developed in the early1970s and Weidman''s (1989) model of undergraduatesocialization. The study used the BeginningPostsecondary Students (BPS:90/92) data set, and the findingsshow that regression models between the two groups havemany similarities: Students'' aspirations are mostly theresult of socioeconomic factors, initial degree aspirations, and institutional characteristics.Financial aid measures are not significant predictors ofaspirations for African-American students, although workstudy awards and fewer hours per week spent working significantly affect white students''aspirations. There are quite a few differences betweenthe groups'' regression models. For instance,intellectual selfconfidence has opposite effects onaspirations for African-American and white students.African-American enrollment and faculty contactpositively affect AfricanAmerican students'' aspirations,while tuition cost and peer contact have positiveeffects on white students'' aspirations.

Influence of Personality on Online Discussion   http://www.ncolr.org/jiol/archives/2004/fall/02/index.html  Site Reviews(0)
Online collaborative learning has typically been studied within the context of learning communities. Little is known about the potential influence of students’ personalities on online communication, group interaction, and task engagement among members of a learning community. This study used a mixed-method, triangulation design, involving the collection and analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data, to investigate the effects of personality on communication type and pattern, message length, task engagement, and student attitude toward online learning. Seventy students were organized into four personality-profile groups based on their Five Factor Personality Test scores, for the discussion of assigned case studies. Discussion messages were analyzed using Logistical Regressions for communication type and pattern, ANOVAs for message length, and Z-tests for pairwise comparisons for task engagement. The results indicate that personality affects communication type, pattern and task engagement but not message length. Students’ attitudes toward online discussion were generally positive. The results provide guidelines for forming groups and designing activities for online collaborative learning.

Interprofessionality as the field of interprofessional practice and interprofessional education: An    http://ipls.dk/pdf-filer/Interprofessionalityasthefieldofinterprofessionalpracticeandinterprofession  Site Reviews(0)
Abstract This paper proposes a new concept and a frame of reference that should permit the development of a better understanding of a phenomenon that is the development of a cohesive and integrated health care practice among professionals in response to clients’ needs. The concept is named ‘‘interprofessionality’’ and aims to draw a clear distinction with another concept, that of interdisciplinarity. The utilization of the concept of interdisciplinarity, which originally concerns the development of integrated knowledge in response to fragmented disciplinary knowledge, has caused some confusion. We need a concept that will specifically concern the development of a cohesive practice among different professionals from the same organization or from different organizations and the factors influencing it. There is no concept that focuses clearly on this field. Interprofessionality concerns the processes and determinants that influence interprofessional education initiatives as well as determinants and processes inherent to interprofessional collaboration. Interprofessionality also involves analysis of the linkages between these two spheres of activity. An attempt to bridge the gap between interprofessional education and interprofessional practice is long overdue; the two fields of inquiry need a common basis for analysis. To this end, we propose a frame of reference, an interprofessional education for collaborative patient-centred practice framework. The framework establishes linkages between the determinants and processes of collaboration at several levels, including links among learners, teachers and professionals (micro level), links at the organizational level between teaching and health organizations (meso level) and links among systems such as political, socio-economic and cultural systems (macro level). Research must play a key role in the development of interprofessionality in order to document these linkages and the results of initiatives as they are proposed and implemented. We also believe that interprofessionality will not be pursued without the requisite political will. Keywords: Interprofessional education, interprofessional collaboration, interprofessionality, framework
