The next essay I found to assist in evidential analysis was Validation Experiences and Persistence among Community College Students by Elisabeth A. Barnett. Barnett this research contributes to the understanding of college student departure decisions as they help determine factors related to persistence. Only 34% of all college students graduate with a degree from a two or four-year college.

Perhaps insisting that students set goals would allow them to understand that their current work is a part of an individual process that which in turn allows them to fully optimize their potential. Subsequently, if more weight was placed on satisfying student’s choices as opposed to swaying to the influences of paradigms then perhaps every student would be more personally dedicated to their educational
