Room 205 Focused Dialogue
Student’s attrition is becoming a more and more
important issue in Norway and in Europe. Employees in different universities
meet and share some schemes, and we have access to all the research done in
USA, but none have made this knowledge available in Norwegian based on
Norwegian conditions.
The plan is now to write a practical oriented book in
Norwegian on how we can support students better to get better retention. It
will mainly try to reach administrative leaders, faculty in certain positions
and other personnel working in student and academic affairs in our universities
and colleges.
By
presenting the big lines of the book and how I understand specific challenges
connected to student’s attrition, I hope to get feedback from colleagues in the
US that I know is especially competent and experienced. The book will be based around my interpretation
of the longitudinal model of institutional departure (Tinto), and it would be
very useful to get a reaction on how I understand and how I want to communicate
the model.
This roundtable
discussion will be different from the normal setting since I will need to use
some time presenting the book and the discussion must focus on the book.
- Learn about higher education in Norway and their retention challenges
- Learn more about others interpretation of Tinto’s “longitudinal model of
institutional departure”
- Learn more about a systematic way of working with the retention issue
Me: Harald Åge Sæthre and I work in the Faculty
