住宿学习社区旨在促进学术和社会融合，理想情况下导致更大的学生成功。然而，学术整合的概念往往是在个人层面上概念化和衡量，而不是理论上更一致的社区层面。网络分析提供了一种范式和措施，更适合于概念化和测量的学术整合，学习社区的意图，以促进。这种混合方法的研究重点是两个单独的住宅社区，以检查学生的结构嵌入测量他们的同行学术网络和参与者所描述的。结果表明，学习社区允许一些学生成为学术“磁铁”，吸引其他人与他们一起工作，这与更高的GPA有关。该研究具有理论和实践意义的机构如何衡量社区为基础的结果，并设计随后的社区一级的程序。
Residential learning communities aim to foster increased academic and social integration, ideally leading to greater student success. However, the concept of academic integration is often conceptualized and measured at the individual level, rather than the theoretically more consistent community level. Network analysis provides a paradigm and measures that are more appropriate for conceptualizing and measuring the academic integration that learning communities purport to foster. This mixed methods study focuses on two individual residential communities to examine student structural embeddedness as measured by their peer academic networks and described by participants. Results show that the learning community allows for some students to become academic “magnets” who attract others to work with them, which is related to higher GPA. The study has theoretical and practical implications for how institutions measure community-based results and design subsequent community-level programs.
