This study examines student attrition in core curriculum courses in one institution of higher education in Texas. The focus on core curriculum courses is important because students regularly report that they studied the material in high school and they often wonder why they must study it again. Despite the alleged exposure to the material, students still drop core courses at high levels when intuitively one thinks that they would thrive in a course on a subject they have already studied. The present research builds upon limited previous research on student attrition and finds that students who are more actively engaged in courses tend to stay in the course and earn higher grades. While the findings are not surprising, they are instructive and can lead to the development of strategies for helping students persevere in core courses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
