The Effect of First-Year Experience (FYE) Program on Junior College Students

Abstract

This paper reports a brief review of the first-year experience (FYE) program implied in three seminar classes at Josai Junior College from April 2020 to January 2021. The program is reimplemented more explicitly and intends to infuse the learning motivation among the management course students to develop competent human skills, with the acquisition of the basic skills integrating into professional learning outcomes. This small periodic study seeks to gather empirical evidence to support and develop the quality of assistance to first-year students during their university and college transition. This study evaluated the FYE effect on students' knowledge, attitude, and behaviour (KAB) after one year for the spring 2020 cohort of first-year students. The ten respondents are grouped into two; group one (5) is the experimental group with participants involved in the FYE program, and group two (5) is the control group with no involvement in the FYE program. Even though the findings showed an overall positive FYE effect on students' knowledge, attitude, and behaviour (KAB), some aspects show no significant difference between the two groups
