Comparison of Academic Suspension Levels of Faculty of Sports Sciences Students and Faculty of Education Students

Faculty of Education students in terms of age, gender, active sports making, department, graduated high school,mother education level, father education level, mother profession and father occupation variables have beenexamined. A total of 364 university students studying in the Faculty of Sport Sciences and the Faculty of Educationin Gazi University, Hacettepe University and Ankara University were formed the Research group in the academicyears 2017-2018. The Academic Suspension Scale developed by Çakıcı in 2003 was used in the study. It wascompared average scores in unrelated measures, Variance Analysis (one-way ANOVA, independent sample t-test) forcomparison of mean scores in unrelated measures, the Tukey test to determine which groups had significantdifferences were used. In addition, a Pearson Correlation analysis was conducted to test the relationship between theparticles collected in the single sub-dimension. Findings obtained from this research reveal that the students ofFaculty of Sports Sciences showed more academic suspension behaviors than the students of Faculty of Education.

Transfers from College to One Ontario University: A Four-Year Outcome Study

In this follow-up study, college students who transferred to one Ontario university in 2008–2009 were compared to non-transfer students using several different measures of academic success at university. When compared to non-transfer students, college transfer students earned fewer credits each year, had lower GPAs, and were less able to earn credits from course attempts. The differences were small for students’ first and second years but larger in years three and four. Despite the lower GPA, college transfer students were not more likely than non-transfer students to be eligible for academic suspension. College transfer students also attempted fewer courses and were much less likely to persist to Year 4. By spring 2012 (after four years of university), the college transfer students were more likely than non-transfer students to have graduated, but their degree of choice was a 15-credit three-year degree (as opposed to a 20-credit four-year honours or non-honours degree). Policy implications are discussed.

Some Factors Associated with Academic Suspension of Students at Pahlavi University

A survey of all students suspended for academic reasons during the academic years of 1971–72 and 1972–73 uncovered 198 students (160 males and 38 females). The over-all mean of the high school grade point average of the group was significantly lower than that of average university students. The rate of attrition was the same for both sexes. Most subjects were admitted to the university immediately after high school graduation and were majoring in sciences, agriculture, and social sciences; 95% were freshmen and sophomores. The percentages of students of lower socio-economic status were rather high. Approximately 80% of the group were members of large families.
