Book Description
Popular models of traditional student persistence show a positive relationship to social and academic integration at the learning institution. However, non-traditional students are less integrated socially and academically and are more likely to leave school for reasons beyond the institution's control. Pajares (2002) linked self-efficacy beliefs to academic self-regulation and found that students who believe they are capable of performing the task at hand use more cognitive strategies, work harder, persist longer, and find ways around obstacles. This field study examined popular models of student persistence for traditional and for non-traditional students, along with three years of attrition records at the Tennessee College of Applied Technology in Dickson, Tennessee. It is hypothesized that career decision self-efficacy (the degree to which a student feels confident in his or her choice of training program) is predictive of institutional integration and student success in career/technical education.
