Annotated Bibliography

To further our bibliography, I have located the following sources in regards to High Impact Practices.

Annotated Bibliography

Kuh, G. D. (2008, September 22). Why Integration and Engagement are Essential to Effective Educational Practice in the Twenty-first Century. Peer review : emerging trends and key debates in undergraduate education, 10(4), 27-28.
In this article Kuh discusses six processes of high impact practices that first year students engage in. First is the devotion of time to a purposeful task, second is the demand to interact with faculty and other students about substantial matters. Third, is the experience of diversity through people who are different than them. Fourth, is the opportunity for frequent feedback in their opportunities, fifth is the opportunity to see how learning works on and off campus and finally sixth is the deep learning they participate in that helps them put their learning into context of a broader perspective.

Malika Tukibateva, R. M. (2014). High Impact Practices and the First-Year Student. New Directions for Institutional Research, 2013(160), 19-35.
This article discusses three different types of service learning; Service Learning, Learning Communities and Undergraduate Research. It discusses different examples of each type and studies their impacts on first year students. Ultimately it found that Service Learning takes place among smaller institutions, Learning Communities occur at large institutions and Undergraduate Research is the least utilized option by first year students. Data and regression analysis are used to support their findings.

O’Neill, N. (2010). Internships as a High Impact Practice: Some Reflections on Quality. Peer review : emerging trends and key debates in undergraduate education, 12(4), 4-8.
This article builds on the George Kuh’s six principles and delves deeper into internships and their effectiveness as high impact learning. O’Neill discusses what constitutes an internship, how universities can create them and how it takes everyone involved, from the student to the faculty, the advisor and the employer to make the experience worthwhile.
