Disability in Graduate Education: Examining the Role of Resource Management and the Psychosocial Aspects of Student Experiences
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A significant portion of graduate students, approximately 30-50%, either do not complete their programs or receive the designation of All-But-Dissertation. To prevent the attrition of capable individuals, it is important to examine the experience of students in the distinct learning environment of graduate education. This study examined the psychosocial and learning experiences of graduate students with a disability. A sequential explanatory multiple-method research design examined the breadth and depth of graduate student experiences. In phase one, graduate students with and without disabilities (N = 302) at six universities in Ontario completed an electronic survey. The results of the survey data analysis identified disability status as an important factor in the psychosocial and resource management experiences of graduate students. In phase two, semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with 13 graduate students who identified as having a disability. The results of the interviews illuminated the impact of disability on the experience of students in graduate education. Themes related to the environment of graduate education, psychological and emotional well-being, important social relationships, disability status, and the resource management aspect of self-regulated learning where present in both phases of this study. The findings of this study have implications for research on graduate education, individuals enrolled in graduate studies, graduate supervisors, and university administration.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
