The Articulation/transfer Phenomenon
Author: Frederick C. Kintzer
Publisher: American Association of Community Colleges(AACC)
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
This report presents a discussion of articulation and transfer between community colleges and four-year institutions and points to future directions for transfer education. Chapter I examines the current situation regarding transfer education including background information on transfer enrollments; a summary of the literature on transfer enrollments, and performance and persistence; performance and persistence in California and other states; and the implications of the current situation for public policy. Chapter II discusses statewide articulation and transfer and identifies three types of statewide and/or transfer agreements (i.e., formal and legally based policies, state system policies, and voluntary agreements between individual institutions or systems), and provides examples of each of these types of agreements. This chapter also examines the transfer of vocational-technical credits and the transfer potential of upper-level universities. Chapter III reviews significant developments on the international scene including an assessment of developments in Canada, the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and Ireland. Finally, chapter IV examines some new developments in transfer education including the shift in attention from traditional college students to "the new clientele"; transfer relationships with business/industry, proprietary schools, and the military; major projects undertaken to promote the study of articulation and transfer; and current trends in the area of articulation and transfer.

School-college Articulation
Author: Scott F. Healy
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
A survey was done in order to describe and analyze how high school guidance counselors and college admission and transfer counselors operate within the college selection process and to recommend strategies to improve articulation among these groups. The survey involved four types of counselors, high school counselors, admission counselors at two-year institutions, admission counselors at four-year institutions, and transfer counselors at two-year institutions, and was conducted in two stages: Stage One identified categories of articulation tasks while Stage Two measured levels of agreement and ratings of importance for the identified articulation tasks. The second stage survey was mailed to 1,500 counseling professionals, and the response rate was 49 percent. Results found that at the college/university to high school level, there does not appear to be an articulation crisis though counselors indicate room for improvement. However, the articulation services provided to transfer students by four-year colleges are seen by transfer counselors as inadequate. Though each of the counselor groups suggested different ways to improve their services, all called for more formal strategic planning. The document includes 16 references and two appendixes containing copies of the surveys. (JB)

Using Collaboration Theory to Learn about an Articulation and Transfer Agreement Between Selected Community Colleges and a Local University
Author: Clifford Leonard Collins
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Community colleges
Languages : en
Pages : 506
Book Description
Higher education is experiencing a significant change in how students attend college and who provides their education. Both can have profound effects on community college students and their plan to transfer from the two-year college to the four-year college or university successfully. This study examines an articulation and transfer agreement between selected community colleges and a local university in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The primary goal of the articulation agreement was for the participating institutions to collaboratively address the basic skill deficiencies of high school graduates who were denied admission to the university based on poor SAT scores. This case study utilizes collaborative partnership theory and case study methodology to conduct the investigation. Qualitative data was collected from each participating institution through Interviews, observations, and document analysis. This data was analyzed to determine the effectiveness of the articulation and transfer process. The finding revealed several key components of the transfer agreement between the community colleges and the university: (1) participating institutions demonstrated a considerable amount of shared decision-making, (2) strong communication and a substantial commitment and investment of time and effort, (3) member institutions also shared a common philosophy about articulation and transfer, and (4) the institutions demonstrated a high degree of interdependence in conducting the program. Other characteristics of the agreement included, (a) collegial relationships, (b) equity, and (c) institutional responsiveness. These were all characteristics of an effective program between two or more organizations. The agreement between the participating institutions is an example of how community colleges and universities can collaborate an achieve articulation and transfer program effectiveness. -- Abstract.
