A logit model with interactions for predicting major gift donors     

Wesley E. Lindahl  Christopher Winship 《Research in higher education》1994,35(6):729-743

We provide a new statistical model developed from the alumni database at North-western University for identifying potential major gift donors. Our logit model with interactions predicts which individuals will give $10,000 or more over three years using CHAID (Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detection) combined with logit analysis. Our work goes beyond our earlier research (Lindahl and Winship, 1992) by providing a more effective means of selecting fund-raising prospects. The critical new component in our model is the inclusion of interactions between past giving and other variables. Specifically, we find that for individuals with different past giving records different variables are important. Our results show that prospects with a low past giving level will rarely give gifts over $10,000.  相似文献   

Use of Criminal Background Checks in Counselor Education     

Wesley J. Erwin  Maria Enerson Toomey 《Counselor Education & Supervision》2005,44(4):305-318

To conduct an initial investigation into the use of criminal background checks and related issues in counselor education programs, surveys were sent to the contacts from 50 programs accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (2001). The results of this pilot study highlight the need for more research, discussion, and discourse about the benefits and disadvantages of using criminal background checks.  相似文献   

Influencing the Probability for Graduation at Four-Year Institutions: A Multi-Model Analysis     

Kristina M. Cragg 《Research in higher education》2009,50(4):394-413

The purpose of this study is to identify student and institutional characteristics that influence the probability for graduation. The study delves further into the probability for graduation by examining how far the student deviates from the institutional mean with respect to academics and affordability; this concept is referred to as the “match.” The validity of the matching model is tested using a multivariate analysis with select variables from the Beginning Postsecondary Study: 1996/2001 (BPS:96/01) and the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). Traditional multivariate models examine the importance of both student and institutional characteristics but assume the two are independent of one another. This study is different in that it uses the matching model to examine the relationship between student and institutional characteristics. The results are compared to more frequently used models and show that the relationship between students and their institutions plays an important role in understanding the probability for graduation.

Homi Bhabha     

Wesley Shumar 《Cultural Studies of Science Education》2010,5(2):495-506

Homi K. Bhabha is not only a major postcolonial theorist, but he has also become an important thinker for education. This article reviews the major themes of Bhabha’s work as it applies to education. The article also cautions us that the pressures in scholarship are to “reify” thinkers and their concepts and then “spend” those concepts like currency in the academic marketplace. This form of commodification is antithetical to progressive scholarly work. The article encourages a resistance to this form of commodification through a more complex engagement with the theories developed by Bhabha and an appreciation of the contradictions in the process of that engagement.  相似文献   

Internet Indiscipline: Two Approaches to Making a Field     

Wesley Shrum 《The Information Society》2013,29(4):273-275

This essay outlines two approaches to Internet research as an area of scholarship, the disciplined and the “indisciplined.” The former approach involves departments and curricula and is more stable in the long term but the chances of success are low. The latter approach is more flexible, emphasizing interaction between scholars and innovation without classics and constraints.  相似文献
