Age related to academic success.
The relationship between academic success and age is very important to know. There is a very clear line between both the successor and the age of student. Researcher Wolfle, J. found that age was very valuable when looking at freshman taking a first level mathematics course (Wolfle,2012) . Traditional aged students are found to be 17-22, and Non-traditional students in college are found to be 23 years old and older (Wolfle, 2012). It has been found through studies that the older the student is the more successful they will be, especially comparing to younger aged college students (Alvarez, 2008; Kolajo, 2004; Lynch-Newberg, 2010). This could be the case because younger students are usually working and managing …show more content…
This is talking about non-traditional students who have not been raised with a computer at all, and had to do everything the old fashioned way (Henson, 2014). Another thing to consider is non-traditional students as mentioned before will have little to no free time. Most of these 24 and older students have children, and families to take care of, plus have a job, and being an online student part-time (Henson, 2014).
However, looking at how old a student is while in college is very important. It is just as vitally important to look at first-generation college students as well. Darrell who is 23 years old had a stronger tie to his community than his own family (Bryan & Simmons, 2009). This is important to see that compared to non-traditional students they are seen with set families.
The ones who just graduated are barely making it through, and having problems at home. There is this vital pressure from back home to succeed beyond what they were brought up with. Almost like they don’t have a choice to do what they want (Bryan & Simmons, 2009). It is important to remember what environment the student is coming from. This has a huge impact on the age of the college
