Factors influencing university performance of associate in arts graduates transferring to the state university system

The purpose of this study was to examine the factorsbehind the failure rates of Associate in Arts (AA)graduates from Miami-Dade Community College (M-DCC) transferring to the Florida State University System (SUS). In M-DCC's largest disciplines, the university failure rate was 13% for Business & Management, 13% for Computer Science, and 14% for Engineering. Hypotheses tested were: Hypothesis 1 (H1): The lower division (LD) overall cumulative GPA and/or the LD major field GPA for AA graduates are predictive of the SUS GPA for the Business Management, Computer Science, and Engineering disciplines. Hypothesis 2 (H2): Demographic variables (age, race, gender) are predictive of performance at the university among M-DCC AA graduates in Engineering, Business & Management, and Computer Science. Hypothesis 3 (H3): Administrative variables (CLAST -College Level Academic Skills Test subtests) are predictive of university performance (GPA) for the Business/Management, Engineering, and Computer Science disciplines. Hypothesis 4 (H4): LD curriculum variables (course credits, course quality points) are predictive of SUS performance for the Engineering, Business/Management and Computer Science disciplines. Multiple Regression was the inferential procedureselected for predictions. Descriptive statistics weregenerated on the predictors. Results for H1 identified the LD GPA as the most significant variable in accounting for the variability of the university GPA for the Business & Management, Computer Science, and Engineering disciplines. For H2, no significant results were obtained for theage and gender variables, but the ethnic subgroups indicated significance at the .0001 level. However, differentials in GPA may not have been due directly to the race factor but, rather, to curriculum choices and performance outcomes while in the LD. The CLAST computation variable (H3) was a significant predictor of the SUS GPA. This is most likely due to the mathematics structure pervasive in these disciplines. For H4, there were two curriculum variables significant in explaining the variability of the university GPA (number of required critical major credits completed and quality of the student's performance for these credits). Descriptive statistics on the predictors indicated that 78% of those failing in the State University System had a LD major GPA (calculated with the critical required university credits earned and quality points of these credits) of less than 3.0; and 83% of those failing at the university had an overall community college GPA of less than 3.0.

Governança de TI nas universidades federais brasileiras: uma abordagem integrada

This research has as an objective to study the IT Governance in the Brazilian Federal Universities, discusses the relationships between the IT Governance (ITG) mechanisms and the noticed IT management development in those public institutions. The subject Information Technology Governance, is not only vast, but constitutes implications in most different operational and knowledge areas, being relevant to the Public Administration, as a part of Corporative Governance and the public related, evolves high investments, such as financial, structure and material and human resources. The universities are entities from Indirect Administration and essential actors in the knowledge developing and creating and on its managers. Theirs public administrative agents, responds for the managing public resources competence and to provide internal policy that determines how IT will allow a bigger alignment and reaching of institutions business. We highlight the role of universities that manage significant quantity of public resources to achieve its institutional purposes. Looking this way, this theoretical and empirical study has as its goal to design an ITG panorama in the Brazilian universities (67 universities), for the strategic alignment on governance actions and institutional development focusing on the efficiency of the public service offered by those institutions. Facing this research focus delimitation, the methodology process will evolve three investigative activities: (1) documental and bibliographical research, (2) questioning, and exploratory tool, to investigate the IT Governance and Management perception in the IFES, directed to IT executive responsible, as a data collection device and (3) research the availability of ITG information in institutes websites. This project contributes to the studies this subject; it investigates the relations that make the ITG as a business strategy and shows the implementation IT Governance, such as a tool to allow the viability of Corporate Governance. This way, expected to contributes to the Public Administration development, following the principle that to improve it’s needed diagnose, and then, offer better results to the society on this field of working.

Un modelo de indicadores de gestión de comunicación organizacional para la Universidad de Antioquia: un aporte a la gestión estratégica de la comunicación en instituciones universitarias

El presente trabajo tiene como propósito formular un sistema de indicadores de comunicación que se constituya en un instrumento valioso para el ejercicio de planeación, seguimiento y evaluación de la gestión comunicativa al interior de la Universidad de Antioquia -- Además de la mejora continua del proceso de comunicación institucional y una toma de decisiones más efectiva, se espera que la implementación del sistema de indicadores permita un posicionamiento estratégico del área de comunicaciones en articulación con sus diferentes dependencias, al valorar con mayor claridad su contribución al logro de los objetivos estratégicos planteados por la Alma Máter -- Para el logro de dicho objetivo trazaron tres etapas -- La primera comprende un estado del arte en el que se incluyen los aportes teóricos sobre la medición y la evaluación de la comunicación en las organizaciones, la información de contexto requerida sobre la institución objeto de estudio y un diagnóstico sobre el estado de la comunicación en la misma, basado en estudios elaborados previamente por la institución -- La segunda etapa corresponde al trabajo de campo, que parte de una combinación de técnicas investigativas cuantitativas (encuesta) y cualitativas (grupo focal) -- Con el análisis de la información obtenida en tales fases, al final se formula una propuesta de indicadores de cumplimiento, satisfacción e impacto para cada uno de los asuntos de trabajo del proceso de comunicación institucional proyectado en la actualidad por la Universidad de Antioquia

A study of costs in higher institutions of learning

This is a questionnaire devised by the author that was sent state colleges as well as colleges in the Southeast concerned the inventory of the institution, sources and amounts of income, expenditures for 1912-24, types of schools, departments and courses at the institution and general information. Graphs was designed with the answers supplied by the institution.
