Positive Effect

Fies and ProUni students financing programs intensified the access to higher education and mobilized the creation of courses, with the management course as one of the most favored. However, few studies have discussed the aspects of this policy to foment higher education influencing students' academic performance. In this way, this article aim to measure, through the method of the binary choice dependent models (Probit model), the probability that the management students participating in the financing programs will achieve a good academic performance in Enade 2015. Based on the results, it was concluded that these student funding programs positively and significantly influenced the likelihood of students achieving above-average academic performance of management students. The costing modalities of management students associated with ProUni had the highest probabilities of a positive effect on performance, while Fies, although positive, had a marginal probabilistic marginal effect in relation to academic performance.

Positive Effect

Wikipedia is an open educational resource whose frequency of use and importance in higher education are growing. However, empirical evidence about Wikipedia’s contribution to students’ academic performance is scant and many higher education actors express concern regarding its value. By applying a combined theoretical and empirical approach, we examine the impact of Wikipedia as a primary learning resource on both students’ academic performance and the perceived value of Wikipedia. Based on an experimental research design conducted with 2,330 university students, we show that the primary use of Wikipedia in combination with conventional learning resources has a positive effect on students’ academic performance, and that this effect is moderated by course discipline. Furthermore, the students’ perceived value of Wikipedia is positive and, generally, not influenced by individual academic performance.

Direct And Indirect Costs

This paper reveals the travel characteristics; direct and indirect costs and travel times; users’ perceptions with respect to reliability, comfort and safety; and impact on the quality of academic performance for students in the Centro Acadêmico do Agreste of UFPE, located in Caruaru, Brazil, which has 3,000 students from 70 cities. Almost 50% of these students live in cities located within 100 km of Caruaru and commute for three hours on average (round-trip). These trips are mostly performed on non-regular intercity transport, chartered by users or municipalities. This kind of transport, apparently inadequate in operational terms, makes access to higher education possible for a significant proportion of students, keeping them residents of their hometowns.

Positive Effect

The present research analyzes the effect of free education on access to higher education in Ecuador. It begins with a review of the literature on access and free education, and examines the main studies conducted on Ecuador. The empirical section is then developed using the data corresponding to the Urban and Rural Employment and Unemployment Survey (ENEMDUR) for 2007-2017, and Probit models are used to estimate the probability of access to higher education and its marginal effects. The main results are related to a positive effect of the free higher education on access at a general level, with emphasis on marginalized groups, although it has been affected by the additional measures associated with merit and quality.

Over Time

Abstract There is clear evidence that Indigenous education has changed considerably over time. Indigenous Australians' early experiences of ‘colonialised education’ included missionary schools, segregated and mixed public schooling, total exclusion and ‘modified curriculum’ specifically for Indigenous students which focused on teaching manual labour skills (as opposed to literacy and numeracy skills). The historical inequalities left a legacy of educational disparity between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Following activist movements in the 1960s, the Commonwealth Government initiated a number of reviews and forged new policy directions with the aim of achieving parity of participation and outcomes in higher education between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Further reviews in the 1980s through to the new millennium produced recommendations specifically calling for Indigenous Australians to be given equality of access to higher education; for Indigenous Australians to be employed in higher education settings; and to be included in decisions regarding higher education. This paper aims to examine the evolution of Indigenous leaders in higher education from the period when we entered the space through to now. In doing so, it will examine the key documents to explore how the landscape has changed over time, eventually leading to a number of formal reviews, culminating in the Universities Australia 2017–2020 Indigenous Strategy (Universities Australia, 2017).
