Integration Factors Related to the Academic Success and Intent to Persist of College Students with Learning Disabilities

Despite increased enrollment, outcomes such as grade point average (GPA), persistence, and graduation rates for college students with learning disabilities (LD) continue to lag behind those of their nondisabled peers. Reasons for the differences vary but may include academic and social integration, factors identified as important to the success of college students in general. This research investigated the relative influence of background characteristics, precollege achievement, and college integration variables on the academic success and intent to persist of college freshmen and sophomores with LD. While academic and social integration were not unique predictors of college GPA, both integration variables were unique predictors of intent to persist. The findings suggest that beyond high school achievement and background characteristics, college experiences as captured by academic and social integration are promising constructs to help explain the persistence of college students with LD. Implications for future research and practices for high school and college personnel are discussed.     

体育院校专项课程评分采用标准正态变量评分方法的探讨

目前体育院校专项课程普遍采用选修制,由于学生选修项目和任教老师评分标准存在差异,不同专项的学生专项评分缺乏统一的标准和尺度,专项课程评分的科学性和公正性得不到保证,影响到奖学金评定工作和专项课程的教学质量。专项课程评分应采用标准正态变量评分方法,不断促使体育专业学生专项评定工作的科学化、定量化。
