Five High-Impact Practices: Research on Learning Outcomes, Completion, and Quali

Abstract:

This monograph examines what educational research reveals about five educational practices: first-year seminars, learning communities, service-learning, undergraduate research, and capstone experiences. The authors explore questions such as: What is the impact on students who participate in these practices? Is the impact the same for both traditional students and those who come from historically underserved student populations? The monograph includes a foreword by George D. Kuh, "High-Impact Practices: Retrospective and Prospective" and recommendations for how to improve the quality of high-impact practices.
