Item Accessing Available Data Related to Core Indicators (Minnesota Collaborative Outcome Focused Reporting)(Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement, 1998-10) Seppanen, PatriciaAs part of outcome reporting, Minnesota family service collaboratives are encouraged to report the status of their community on these outcomes and indicators annually as part of a community progress report. In addition, collaboratives may want to report on these indicators as part of their two-year outcome report. This is a resource to help family service collaboratives with their outcome-focused reporting. This monograph includes abstracts explaining how to access available data for 19 of the most common core indicators for family service collaboratives.Item Breaking down barriers: Academic obstacles of first-generation students at research universities(The Learning Assistance Review, 2013-06-03) Stebleton, Michael; Soria, KristaThe purpose of this study was to examine the perceived academic obstacles of first-generation students in comparison to non-first-generation students. Using the Student Experience in the Research University (SERU) completed by approximately 58,000 students from six research universities, the researchers used nonparametric bootstrapping to analyze differences between first-generation and non-first-generation students’ obstacles to academic success. The results suggest that first-generation students more frequently encounter obstacles that compromise their academic success as compared to non-first-generation students, such as job responsibilities, family responsibilities, perceived weak English and math skills, inadequate study skills, and feelings of depression. Implications for learning assistance professionals are outlined.Item Examining the Research Practices of Agricultural Scholars at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities(2016) Farrell, Shannon L.; Kocher, MeganDuring the spring and summer of 2016, the University of Minnesota Libraries joined 18 other institutions to participate in Ithaka S+R’s Research Support Services Program to explore agricultural scholars’ research focus, research methods and publishing practices.
