Can We Predict Student Success (and Reduce Student Failure)?

Bubble CPAP: can we predict success or failure?

Current modalities of ventilatory assistance in the management of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm infants range from continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to various modes of mechanical ventilation. The use of CPAP has been associated with a lower incidence of chronic lung disease when used as the initial respiratory support. In contrast, mechanical ventilation has the poten...

Using Emotional and Social Factors to Predict Student Success

College academic success and retention have traditionally been predicted using demographic and academic variables. This study moved beyond traditional predictors. A survey of 218 undergraduate students from a private Midwestern university revealed that emotional and social factors (e.g., stress, frequency of alcohol consumption) related to GPA and emotional factors (e.g., self-esteem, fatigue) ...

Can Student Reflection Predict Academic Success and Clinical Performance in a Physical Therapist Education Program?

Supporting Student ‘Success’:

It is suggested that the current research focus on withdrawal from the first year in higher education (HE) provides a limited account of what may influence persistence. In particular it provides little account of how persistence is facilitated in the cases where students have sometimes doubted whether they should remain at university. The aim of this study was to determine any differences in le...

Predicting Student Success

This research focuses on developing and implementing the Naïve Bayesian Classifier to GEAR courses at Rio Salado Community College. It demonstrates that this predictive model has good prediction accuracy of at-risk students. Predictive results across courses and cumulative gain charts show potential improvements to be made in students' academic success by focusing at high level risk students.
