A performance analysis of graduate school staff at University of Wisconsin-Stout
No full textPlan BThe University of Wisconsin-Stout (UW-Stout) Graduate School serves the campus community with a coordinator position and three permanent support staff positions. After a consultant from Noel-Levitz visited campus and a University wide analysis (ESURC), several recommendations were forwarded to UW-Stout Academic and Student Affairs administrators. One specific recommendation was to evaluate all permanent positions in the Graduate School and match tasks with people to better meet the needs of the graduate community. A performance analysis of these positions was conducted and the results are reported in this study. To accomplish this performance analysis, Graduate School staff, were asked to describe their position tasks and duties in detail. This analysis was documented and recommendations for possible changes to better serve the campus community were forwarded to the UW-Stout Provost and Associate Vice Chancellor for review

An examination of University of Wisconsin-Stout students' perceptions of their secondary career guidance programs
No full textPlan BThe purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of University of Wisconsin Stout undergraduate freshmen and sophomores regarding the content and effectiveness of their high school career development programs and services. Data was collected through a survey given to all freshmen and sophomore students enrolled in General Psychology for the Spring 2002 semester. The participants were informed verbally of the nature and purpose of the study. Participation was voluntary and the participants were informed of this through the use of a written consent form. Participants were also given the opportunity to ask questions and voice concerns with the researcher. The survey was developed by the researcher using information from the National Career Development Guidelines and the American School Counselor Associations Standards. These models provide a framework for schools to meet the career development needs of students. The survey examined whether the participant’s school program provided help in gaining competency in areas specified by the aforementioned models. The survey also asked participants to evaluate their preparedness in these same areas of competency. The survey also asked for suggestions and comments regarding how their school could have best prepared them for career planning. Data analysis was used only for those identifying themselves as graduating from high school since 1992. The rationale behind this was to minimize the effects of memory distortion due to the amount of time since the target events occurred. Data analysis looked at the percentages for each item response set. Data analysis also looked at possible relationships between different response sets. The content of the suggestions and comments section was analyzed for themes and summarized in the findings. This study hoped to examine whether schools are providing services and whether students are acquiring competencies as recommended by the national standards. The research also solicited suggestions and comments regarding program effectiveness from the subjects. The research also hoped to ascertain whether schools are effective in what they do address. Evaluating the state of secondary career guidance services is necessary to ensure that schools can improve their services to meet the needs of their students. Based on the research findings, the researcher hoped to develop recommendations to increase the effectiveness of secondary career guidance programs. This research also hoped to increase overall awareness of the important influence of career guidance to meeting the needs of students. It is hoped that this increased awareness of the need for career guidance will result in improved services for students. More effective career guidance programs would mean increased preparedness and success in transition from high school. Ultimately, developing skills and planning for transition into adulthood can increase the likelihood of success and satisfaction throughout ones career life span
Assessment of content knowledge in the industrial enterprise practicum course at UW-Stout
No full textPlan BThe purpose of this descriptive study was to describe the level of content knowledge acquired (alpha change) as measured by the difference between a pre-test and post-test examination administered to students enrolled during the Spring 2000 semester in the Industrial Enterprise Practicum course (INMGT-314/514) at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. The pre/post-test instrument was identical and was composed of content that emphasized technology and business. The sample was 56 students consisting of technology education, industrial technology, business, and apparel design majors. The findings of the study revealed that there was change in the level of content knowledge acquired by the technology education, industrial technology, business, and apparel design majors
Employee involvement in and perceptions of campus alcohol and drug abuse prevention programming at UW-Stout
No full textPlan BNational research has continually shown that college campuses nationwide foster many alcohol and drug use behaviors. It is suggested that faculty and staff may hold several misperceptions in regard to the prevalence and nature of the alcohol and drug use. Many college campus employees may tolerate the use and abuse of alcohol and drugs which may in turn lead students to mistake tolerance for acceptance. This study was conducted to determine the level of difference for levels of perceptions of campus policy and the amount of tolerance for alcohol and drug use for employees at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. Participants completed the Faculty and Staff Environmental Alcohol and Other Drug Survey to measure both their level of perceptions and their level of tolerance. Results would be used to determine whether knowledge and awareness of campus policy would heighten awareness of alcohol and drug use on campus as well as decrease levels of tolerance in a college campus environment
Charismatic leadership perceptions of resident advisors at the University of Wisconsin-Stout based on the amount of prior training and/or previous experiences
No full textPlan BThe purpose of this study was to determine the level of correlation between the perception of charisma within leaders as measured by a charismatic leadership questionnaire and the amount of experience and training leaders have had as measured by a leadership training and experience questionnaire for leaders (Resident Advisors) at UW-Stout. The subjects for this study were thirty Resident Advisors and five residents from all thirty of the Resident Advisor’s floor, from the University of Wisconsin-Stout. There were approximately 30 residents per floor, and five of them were randomly selected. The Resident Advisors were given a questionnaire regarding the amount of training and experience they had on leadership. The residents were given a questionnaire so they could rate the charismatic leadership of their RA. The two sets of scores were correlated using Pearson r. The null hypothesis was that there was no statistically significant correlation between level of perceived leader charisma and the amount of prior training for leaders at UW-Stout. Also that there was no statistically significant correlation between level of perceived leader charisma and the amount of leadership experience they have. Both null hypotheses were accepted at .05. The research hypothesis for this study was that there would be a low correlation between followers’ perceptions of charismatic leaders and both the amount of prior training and previous leadership experience that leaders reported. The hypothesis was correct, since the review of literature indicated that leadership training might be related to charismatic qualities. Previous research also showed that leadership experience might stimulate charismatic qualities. Retrospectively, the previous charismatic leadership research was primarily conducted with older groups of specifically groomed charismatic leaders. Overall, the research hypothesis was confirmed by the results of this study. While no statistical significance was found, further investigation should be done with an older population who has been through intentional long-term leadership training, or perhaps a longitudinal study should be conducted with this same group of leaders over an extended period of time
A review of the University of Wisconsin-Stout pre-college program
No full textPlan BHigh school graduation rates vary from state to state, but research indicates that students who are classified as minority and disadvantaged students are among the largest group of students that do not graduate high school and do not enter a postsecondary institution (Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, 2000). Pre-college programs have been created to assist in eliminating this phenomenon. The purpose of this study is to review the literature on federal programs, other successful national programs, and the University of Wisconsin-Stout pre-college program in order to provide high school and college educators with information to develop a pre-college program. This information could also be used to evaluate the success of other, individual pre-college programs. Results of this research indicate that pre-college programs are successful in retaining students through high school graduation and into a secondary institution (Chance, 2000; Fashola & Slavin, 1998; Higher Education Evaluation, 1995; United States Department of Education, 1999). Pre-college programs have also been shown to be of financial assistance in attending the programs as well as being financially helpful in attending college (Dumas-Hines et al., 2001). The problem then lies in retaining minority and disadvantaged students through college graduation (Oesterreich, n.d.). The research for this review was gathered from many resources through online searches and library resources
