The Impact of Learning Community Enrollment on First-generation Students' First-year Academic Achievement and Retention Rates by Kurt Martenae Earnest PDF Summary

Book Description: This study assessed the extent to which enrollment in learning communities predicted the first-year GPAs and retention rates of first-generation students enrolled at Iowa State University. First-year first-and second-generation students who lived in the residence halls during the first-semester of enrollment were divided into two cohorts based on year of enrollment (1999 n=370 and 2000 n=347). Using the statistical methods of analysis of variance and logistic regression, models were tested to determine the impact of learning community enrollment on first-year GPA. Analysis revealed that learning community enrollment had little ability to predict the academic achievement or the retention rates of first-generation students. The pre-entrance variables of high school rank and ACT composite scores proved to be the most significant predictors of first-semester, second-semester and first-year GPA. High school rank was the most consistent predictor of retention.
