Student experience core definition The student experience is primarily the nature of the enagagement of students with learning and teaching however it may also include other aspects that impinge on learning some of which are the responsibility of higher education institutions. explanatory context In an article entitled 'Deconstructing the student experience', Benckendorff et al., (2009) write: Harvey, Burrows and Green (1992) are credited with first coining the term student experience in response to a report finding that claimed this factor is the most important in assessing quality in higher education.
Harvey et al. (1992, p. 1) note that 'this is not restricted to the student experience in the classroom but to the total student experience'. Analytical review Despite producing a report entitled NUS Student Experience Report, the National Union of Students (NUS, 2008) did not define the student experience. There are two important issues of definition regarding the ISE. McLean (2006) states: What can this generation of grad student organizers learn from the last? Daderot/Wikimedia Commons This article originally appeared in Inside Higher Ed. The recent National Labor Relations Board decision granting graduate students at private colleges and universities the right to unionize takes me back to 2000, the last time the NLRB ruled similarly (3 to 2).
I was a first-year Ph.D. student at Tufts University at the time, excited to be pursuing a path in literary and critical study. Not long after that historic NLRB decision bore its first juicy fruit—an epic 2002 contract for the unionized grad students at New York University—we began a campaign at Tufts as well. Along with a collection of other humanities departments, English became the hub of the organizing for our union effort. Why did English become the hub of our organizing committee? It wasn’t because we were a bunch of intellectual radicals, either—although a few of us were, and a few more would become radicalized through the work of the campaign.
But it was never just about ideology. Nontraditional student. Category of students at colleges and universities A nontraditional student is a term originating in North America, that refers to a category of students at colleges and universities. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) notes that there are varying definitions of nontraditional student.
Nontraditional students are contrasted with traditional students who "earn a high school diploma, enroll full time immediately after finishing high school, depend on parents for financial support, and either do not work during the school year or work part time".[1][2] The NCES categorized anyone who satisfies at least one of the following as a nontraditional student:[1] By this definition, the NCES determined that 73% of all undergraduates in 1999–2000 could be considered nontraditional, representing the newly "typical" undergraduate.[3] This remained consistent the following years: 72% in 2003–2004, 72% for 2007–2008, and 74% for 2011–2012.[4] History[edit] Demographics[edit] Resources[edit] Total Student Experience - Analytic Quality Glossary - Quality Research International. Total student experience core definition Total student experience refers to all aspects of the engagement of students with higher education. explanatory context analytical review The term was coined by Harvey in 1992, in a report of the same name.
This initial report, based on the ratings given by over 4000 respondents to individual criteria suggests that the key factor in the assessment of quality in higher education is the student experience. It has been used widely since. The total student experience encompasses teaching and learning, curriculum, student life, advising and mentoring/ The University of Edinburgh (2004) also refers to a wide set of student experiences: achievements are derived from the total student experience while in HE – whether academic, extra curricular or work experiences City University, Hong Kong (1999) noted: Evaluation of what is becoming universally known as the "total student experience" is one of the dominant themes of higher education research at this time.
Full-time equivalent. Unit of measurement Full-time equivalent (FTE), or whole time equivalent (WTE), is a unit of measurement that indicates the workload of an employed person (or student) in a way that makes workloads or class loads comparable across various contexts.[1] FTE is often used to measure a worker's or student's involvement in a project, or to track cost reductions in an organization. An FTE of 1.0 is equivalent to a full-time worker or student, while an FTE of 0.5 signals half of a full work or school load.[2] In government[edit] United States[edit] The U.S.
Although the generally accepted human-resources meaning for the "E" in FTE is "equivalent", the term is often overloaded in colloquial usage to indicate a "direct, as opposed to contract, full-time employee".[6] The term WYE (work year equivalent) is often used instead of FTE when describing the contractor work.[7] United Kingdom[edit] In education[edit] Australia[edit] Example[edit] References[edit] External links[edit]
'We are paying for something we didn't get': The students taking their universities to court - The Big Issue. “It’s hard to pinpoint what constitutes a breach of contract as universities don’t want to specify exactly what you’re being offered. It doesn’t say you’ll receive 30 contact hours because if there are strikes, they’ll get sued. “Variation clauses [which give the university the right to change conditions of the student contract without the need for further agreement] are a big issue because the next time there is huge disruption we’ll be in the same position.” Get the latest news and insight into how the Big Issue magazine is made by signing up for the Inside Big Issue newsletter One UCL student, who studied natural sciences, asked to remain anonymous because she had such bad memories of her four years there, though mostly studying remotely.
She said: “Our labs were cancelled and moved to simulations online. I felt like I was at the Open University but paying way more. It’s not fun. But this is not an issue restricted to one institution. “Students don’t really know what they are buying.
