External Resources Related to Student Retention
According to Vincent Tinto in “Promoting Student Retention Through Classroom Practice” there are five conditions known to promote persistence.
These are:
- Expectations – Students are likely to persist and graduate in settings that expect them to succeed.
- Support – Students are more likely to persist and graduate in settings that provide academic, social, and personal support.
- Feedback – Students are more likely to persist and graduate in settings that provide frequent and early feedback about their performance as they are trying to learning and persist.
- Involvement – Students are more likely to persist and graduate in settings that involve them as valued members of the institution.
- Learning – Students are more likely to persist and graduate in settings that foster learning.
