EDUC 1300:  Learning Frameworks
Read the Fine Print
Some Rights Reserved
Rating
0.0 stars

This program teaches students the learning theories in the areas of cognition, learning, and motivation. It also introduces them to the learning strategies that enable students to optimize their learning and become strategic learners. Our goal is for the students to transfer these theories and strategies to their other courses so they are successful college students. All students are encouraged to take the EDUC 1300: Learning Frameworks course their first semester, but it is mandatory for students who have less than 13 semester credit hours in college. As part of the Texas Core Curriculum in the Social and Behavioral Sciences foundational component area, we also introduce critical thinking and drawing conclusions, empirical and quantitative skills, social responsibility, and communication. We hope that students take what they learn in this course and apply it to their personal lives and future careers as well as their academic courses.

DELIVERY FORMAT: The program has a hybrid format or has both online and in-person components.

PROGRAM SCALE: Large-scale (reaches more than 25 percent of its intended target population)

Standardize instructional best practices and faculty tutor partnerships through guided professional development to better influence student outcomes.

(1) The activity director develops a library of study modules, informative videos, and discussion postings in VC's online course delivery system. The director will map out a "Recommended Training Plan," by which faculty complete tasks to go through specific modules until they've completed one module for each of the 12 best practices. Faculty will engage with other faculty for implementation strategies and incorporate their own strategies with the best practices in their courses where appropriate.

(2) The second element of Activity IV is to implement a program that will improve faculty understanding of VC's tutoring services and, therefore, increase the degree to which faculty encourage or require students to participate in tutoring.

As a result of developing a professional development program for faculty-driven student support, by the end of September 2023 (end of project year 3), VC will:

A. Increase Fall FTIC whose instructor explained VC's support services from 81.1% to 85%
B. Increase Fall FTIC who ask questions or contribute to class discussions two or more times from 63.3% to 70%
C. Increase Fall FTIC who work with other students during class at least once from 81.6% to 85%
D. Increase Fall FTIC who work on projects with classmates out of class from 49.1% to 55%
E. Increase Fall FTIC working in study groups outside of class at least once from 23.4% to 30%

DELIVERY FORMAT: The program has a hybrid format or has both online and in-person components.

Victoria College (VC) wants to improve equitable access to academic, financial, and support services for VC students. To accomplish this, VC will use the majority of requested funds to procure a new comprehensive student engagement system or customer relationship management software, often abbreviated to CRM. The remainder of the request will supplement our digital outreach efforts to link more underserved students into the new system.

The target group for improved engagement is our underserved student populations. Empowering underserved students to succeed will require (a) sharing relevant information about VCs services with targeted groups who need it most and (b) understanding how students use services so we can continually increase awareness and support for groups who need it most.

DELIVERY FORMAT: The program has a hybrid format or has both online and in-person components.

Success Coaching strives to assist our diverse student population in reaching their individual academic goals by providing resources and ensuring equality for all students to achieve their goals and fulfill their potential.

The three interrelated goals of the Success Coaching Program are (1) to help students to develop a clear vision of their own goals, (2) to assist students in developing skills related to academic success, such as study skills, time management, and self-efficacy, and (3) to connect them to other college resources and support personnel as needed.

As a result of participating in the Success Coaching Program, students will have increased self-regulation skills, executive functioning skills, efficacy, and be more self-directed leaners.

Success coaching is available to all Victoria College students, but we target our first time in college (FTIC) students, students on academic warning, academic probation, or academic suspension, student athletes, and students on financial aid appeals.

The data that is provided in this survey only represents our FTIC students participating in Success Coaching. Success Coaching began in 2018, but including all FTIC students began Fall 2021.

DELIVERY FORMAT: The program has a hybrid format or has both online and in-person components.

PROGRAM SCALE: Large-scale (reaches more than 25 percent of its intended target population)

PROGRAM OUTCOMES: Since Success Coaching started, there has been a modest, college-wide increase in ABC rates, Fall-to-Spring, and Fall-to-Fall Persistence rates.
