This study examined the admissions practices of 24-month radiography programs to determine the extent to which the practices affect retention rates. Survey data from 327 programs representing 6,443 radiography program matriculants, 5,191 graduates, and 1,252 withdrawals showed that retention rates were significantly (p < or = 0.05) higher in programs that used a competitive admission process than in those that did not. Also, it was observed that the use of selective grade point average and reference letters in the competitive admission process was significant (p < or = 0.05) in predicting increased retention rates in a radiography program.
本研究调查了24个月放射照相术专业课程的招生做法,以确定这些做法对留校率的影响程度。来自327个课程的调查数据涵盖了6443名放射照相术专业的入学学生、5191名毕业生和1252名退学学生,结果显示,采用竞争性录取程序的课程的留校率显著(p≤0.05)高于未采用该程序的课程。此外,研究还发现,在竞争性录取程序中使用选择性平均绩点和推荐信对于预测放射照相术专业课程留校率的提高具有显著意义(p≤0.05)。
