“…Moreover, through the interaction of capital and habitus, families may produce values, attitudes, expectations, and behaviours in children that promote academic attainment and post-compulsory educational participation (e.g., Israel et al, 2001;Lareau 2003l Martin, 2009Perna & Titus, 2005;Sandefur et al, 2006) and, as our previous research has shown, foster engagement with science (Archer & DeWitt, 2013). …”

“…In addition, family and peers play a large role college choice. As parental encouragement or involvement increases so too does attending college (Bouse & Hossler, 1991;Carpenter & Fleishman, 1987;Conklin & Dailey, 1981;Davies & Kandel, 1981;McDonough, 1997;Perna & Titus, 2005). Parental education matters as well.…”

This study examined the effects of good teaching practices on post-baccalaureate degree aspirations using logistic regression techniques on a multi-institutional, longitudinal sample of students at four-year colleges and universities. Using College Choice and College Outcomes models as a theoretical foundation, I examined whether eight good teaching practices (non-classroom interactions with faculty, prompt feedback, frequency of interactions with faculty, teaching clarity and organization, challenging classes and high faculty expectations, frequency of higher-order exams and assignments, academic challenge and effort, and integrated ideas, information, and experiences) influenced post-baccalaureate degree aspirations at the end of four academic years, while controlling for students' background characteristics and institutional characteristics that are theoretically associated with aspirations. Using pre-test and post-test data from the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education (WNS), the findings suggest that good teaching practices are positively related to undergraduate students' aspirations for graduate education. This study contributes to college outcome models by emphasizing the importance of faculty to the undergraduate experience. Finally, this study has implications for higher education policy, including practical applications for those involved with undergraduate and graduate education, including administrators, faculty, staff, and students.

“…That's why the interviewees discuss going to business school as a business decision. In ln line with the Human Capital Theory (Paulsen, 2001;Perna & Titus, 2005), getting an MBA is considered as an investment, and can be judged using the payback criterion of payback or "return of investment", as Benjamin says. Student's.…”

“…Some frequently used measures of human capital include, but are not limited to, students' academic potential or ability, academic training, and educational achievements (Perna & Titus, 2005). When making decisions about education, individuals weigh the benefits of each option against the costs.…”

“…John & Asker, 2001) and Perna's (2006) integrated model of college choice provide such a basis. This approach postulates that students' postsecondary decisions, such as whether to pursue college education, which institution to attend and which major to select, are all influenced by the nature and amount of human, financial, social, and cultural capital available to the student (Paulsen & St. John, 2002;Perna, 2006;Perna & Titus, 2005;St. John & Asker, 2001).…”

Understanding the Motivations: a Qualitative Analysis of Israelis Holding a Bachelor's Degree who Pursue an MBA Abroad

To cite this article: Sasson, A. (2017) AbstractMotivations for study abroad have been studied mostly from a quantitative point of view. This study attempted to understand those motivations through qualitative methodology, by getting "into the heads" of international students using a multiple case study approach. Participants were 15 Israeli Hebrew-speaking graduates. Data sources included in-depth interviews with the students, a business professor, as well as official program documents. Findings show that while intrinsic motivations recur in the data, that are in essence the selling points of an MBA, stressing experience and gaining knowledge and skills, the dominant motivations are instrumental and at times even fantastic and extreme, although presented implicitly in the discourse. All these motivations reflect a mismatch between students' perceptions of MBA education and the actual reality of getting a graduate business degree abroad, which has serious ramifications for students' learning experience and the way in which efforts and resources are prioritized.
