Bruce McCоllаum Quаlifying Exаm Day 1 Please Answer All Questiоns   As part оf a large, multi-year, multi-institutional grant, university institutional researchers have come together to initiate a program of research that would have 2 broad goals:   Goal 1: Explore student and institutional factors that are associated with undergraduate students’ social and academic integration attitudes toward their undergraduate institution and the effects of these attitudes on students’ intentions of dropping out of college or transferring to another institution, and use the information from the exploratory phase of the research (Goal 1) to inform the development and/or refinement of interventions, practices, methods, approaches, and/or strategies that could impact undergraduates’ social and academic integration  and their intentions to drop out from their undergraduate institutions or transfer to another institution.   Goal 2: Rigorously evaluate intervention/practice/strategy to determine the impact of these approaches on undergraduates’ social and academic integration and their persistence in their undergraduate institutions.   You have been hired as a consultant to work with this group of institutional researchers to plan this multi-year research. As part of Goal 1 of this project, the institutional researchers are considering using Tinto’s model of student social and academic integration as a framework for identifying factors associated with undergraduate students’ intentions of dropping out of college or transferring to another institution.       Begin by discussing Tinto’s model of student social and academic integration and the research supporting the model. Discuss any literature reviews (systematic reviews, meta-analysis, scoping reviews, etc.) that might inform the 2 goals of the research program. Present 1 specific example of an exemplary research study representing quantitative, qualitative, and mixed method research. Highlight strengths and limitations of each of these types of studies. Discuss any methodological issues that have surfaced with these research studies and how researchers are responding to these methodological issues. Discuss any other theories that might be used as a framework for this research project.
