DISCUSSION
The cumulative results of the 11 schools indicated there seems to be a sequencing aspect
within RA pre-service training for these 11 institutions. While the data for the individual
schools are not provided here, sufﬁce it to say
that a logical sequence did not seem apparent.
Since the categories were created based on the
literature, it was interesting to see this coding
process and the previously mentioned order
are aligned. Slightly more time was given to
skills than identity; this seems to ﬁt the RA role
and the need to understand their duties. These
ﬁndings do not negate our assumptions that
helping the new (and returning) RA understand their personal- and community-speciﬁc

38

identities are an important ﬁrst step (Paladino,
et al., 2005; Winston & Fitch, 1993). The miscellaneous category was the largest amount of
time allotted in the sample schools. This seems
to indicate the proprietary or campus-speciﬁc
nature of RA training schedules. An example
of school speciﬁc topics include in-hall training that would address the culture of speciﬁc
buildings. However, there seems to be little
consistency within the individual schedules
among the participating institutions. These
scheduling differences may be the result of
tradition, meaning that is the way they have
always done it, and/or coordinating the schedules of many departments on campus and logistical difﬁculties in general.
