Advising Models: Goal Achievement and Program Effectiveness
This is the second in a series of NACADA Journal articles that report on the results of the ACT Fifth National Academic Advising Survey. Collected data are analyzed to determine the performance of Habley's seven advising models on eight advising program goals and their perceived effectiveness on 11 program variables. The data also create the context for a deeper consideration of the relationship between an advising model and an institutional culture.
