Dr. Josh Hawley will present his research on the impact of developmental education on student retention and completion in higher education as a part of the 2012-2013 ED Studies Roundtable Series on Wednesday, February 20, 2013 at 12:00 pm in 136 Ramseyer Hall.
Research Roundtables are open to faculty, staff, and students from the School of Educational Policy and Leadership and are aimed to present ideas and receive feedback on current research projects. A light lunch will be provided.
Dr. Josh Hawley will present at the Institute for Population Research Seminar (IPR Seminar) which is titled: Three Essays Exploring Higher Education Outcomes Using State Administrative Records. The seminar will take place on Tuesday, February 19th from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm in 38 Townshead Hall.
The presentation will focus on the following research questions that the OERC has answered based on its data: How participation in developmental education (non credit remedial courses in math and English) changes the likelihood of completing a university degree; How student financial supports (need-based financial aid) alters student progress in completing a higher education degree; How student dropout from a registered apprenticeship depends on the organizational structure of the apprenticeship arrangement.
