{"product_id":"9781498557245","title":"Teaching and Learning in Higher Education: Studies of Three Student Development Programs","description":"Concerns with how students are taught, and whether and how they learn, has become particularly salient in higher education. This is evident in growing awareness of increases in time-to-degree and declines in attainment rates for many students, including those who are underrepresented, in our nation’s community and public and private colleges and universities. It is also demonstrated vis-à-vis recent findings that more than a third of college students evinced no noticeable improvement in critical thinking, writing, and complex reasoning skills after four years as an undergraduate. These findings suggest that while a focus on access to and participation in the nation’s colleges and universities remain a prominent goal, it is no longer sufficient given persistent disparities in post secondary student learning.\u003cbr\u003eThere are a few models however, from which we can distill a set of strategies for promoting not only high achievement, but also retention and completion rates. This book examines three such models in higher education — the Meyerhoff Scholars Program at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County; the Opportunity Programs at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York; and the Premedical Program at Xavier University in New Orleans – with a proven record of student achievement and completion.","brand":"Oz Publishing, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016127004912,"sku":"9781498557245","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781498557245_p0.jpg?v=1769896786","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781498557245","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
