Book excerpt: Based on the Quality of Effort concept developed by Pace (1984) and the research findings of Rendon's (1996) study of Hispanic community college students, the present study used the mix method approach which utilizes both the quantitative and qualitative framework. A randomly selected sample of Hispanic students (N=174) was drawn from a set of listings of community colleges throughout the state of Iowa during the 1995 and 1996 academic years. For the quantitative phase of the study, the Community College Student Experience Questionnaire (CCSEQ) was administered to participants to assess such experiences as learning, quality of effort, college environment, and interactions in their classroom and out of the classroom. To complement the first part of the study, a qualitative approach was utilized by designing and conducting focus group sessions to determine further aspects and meaningful themes in community college experiences of Iowa Hispanic students by capturing the students' perceptions in three particular educational themes: Involvement, Validating Environments, and Transfer Intentions and Aspirations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The community college is in a unique position to help advance the education of students in all sectors of society. As this new century begins, however, many Hispanic and Latino students begin college at the community college level, but do not transfer to universities in significant numbers. Embedded in these data are the low numbers of this population who complete baccalaureate studies in science, technologies, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors. As such, this study focuses on a Mexican American segment of the Hispanic/Latino population and examines the factors related to their successful transition through their STEM education in a Southern California community college that is also a Hispanic Serving Institution. Using the Grounded Theory research methodology, the researcher determined that Mexican American students who had persevered into upper level community college STEM courses had engaged in social connections throughout their STEM educational experience. Social connections were in the form of family support, institutional inclusion, peer engagement, and faculty involvement. Central to these connections were demonstrated examples of student validation, institutional involvement, and various forms of academic and social integration.

This book was released on 2006-02-23 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hispanics and the Future of America presents details of the complex story of a population that varies in many dimensions, including national origin, immigration status, and generation. The papers in this volume draw on a wide variety of data sources to describe the contours of this population, from the perspectives of history, demography, geography, education, family, employment, economic well-being, health, and political engagement. They provide a rich source of information for researchers, policy makers, and others who want to better understand the fast-growing and diverse population that we call "Hispanic." The current period is a critical one for getting a better understanding of how Hispanics are being shaped by the U.S. experience. This will, in turn, affect the United States and the contours of the Hispanic future remain uncertain. The uncertainties include such issues as whether Hispanics, especially immigrants, improve their educational attainment and fluency in English and thereby improve their economic position; whether growing numbers of foreign-born Hispanics become citizens and achieve empowerment at the ballot box and through elected office; whether impending health problems are successfully averted; and whether Hispanics' geographic dispersal accelerates their spatial and social integration. The papers in this volume provide invaluable information to explore these issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helping Latino students into leadership roles begins with a college experience. Latino students are the largest and fastest growing student population within community colleges, yet they are less likely to graduate. Blame is often placed on minority students and their families for the students' poor academic performance. Deficit thinking models have impacted this way of thinking and this adds to the variety of factors that prevent students' from successfully completing a college degree. An analysis of nine Latino students' college experiences was examined to determine the types of barriers that were evident. Critical Race Theory and Latino Critical Race narrative theory were used to highlight the voices and experiences of Latino students. Student perception of the barriers were described along with how they overcame these barriers. Narrative data, literature, and researcher professional and personal experiences, were used to find common themes that impacted Latino students' completion of college, they are as follow: 1) family-support, 2) peer-support, 3) cultural-mentoring, and 4) the resilience-resistance skills, which students bring to the higher education system. The findings of this study provide evidence of the investment in education that Latino families have when they feel accepted within a higher education setting.
Book Synopsis Hispanic Students' Perceptions of the Effectiveness of Learning Communities by : Hayley Deann Kazen
Download or read book Hispanic Students' Perceptions of the Effectiveness of Learning Communities written by Hayley Deann Kazen and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focused on the perceptions students have about the effectiveness of learning communities, a focus of the First-Year Success initiative at Texas A & M International University. Because many of our students are Hispanic and/or first generation college students, the traditional lecture based college classrooms may not be effective. This study employed a case-study focusing on one section of a Freshman Seminar class that was part of a learning community. Data was gathered using interviews and journals. Students perceived learning communities to be helpful because it enabled them to make friends more easily and feel more connected to the University, two things that have been shown to increase retention. Students also believed that the Freshman Seminar class taught them valuable skills that enabled them to be more successful in college. However, students did not perceive that an integrated curriculum nor the peer mentoring program as particularly useful. In order to improve the First-Year Success program, these issues must be addressed.

Book Synopsis Hispanic First-generation College Student Perceptions of University Support Programs by : Katelyn Elizabeth Wheeler

This book was released on 2021 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this case study was to understand the Hispanic first-generation student perspectives on provided support programs at universities across the United States. Only 54% of Hispanic students graduate from public universities within six years, and the rates are drastically lower at private for-profit schools. Additionally, for those Hispanic students who do graduate from college, the chances of continuing to graduate school are slim, with only ten percent of Hispanic students enrolling in graduate school, compared to 64% of white students. With statistics such as these, universities need to create useful and valuable support systems for Hispanic students that will lead to higher graduation rates and the encouragement to further their education. The central question of the study was: How valuable do Hispanic first-generation students see university-provided support programs to be? The self-determination theory (SDT) (Deci & Ryan, 1985; Ryan & Deci, 2000; Ryan & Deci, 2017) guided the study. The study used a qualitative design, specifically, a single case study design, with multiple units of analysis. Journal prompts targeting open-ended questions, one-on-one interviews, and focus groups obtained the data. To analyze the data, manual coding and explanation building were utilized. The findings of the study revealed that Hispanic first-generation students are receiving most, if not all, of their supports from school organizations. The findings also revealed that a school’s orientation is a crucial support that is currently failing. Recommendations for future research include taking a closer look into the experience of students from underserved populations who attend a college that incorporates a valuable orientation process.
