Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student community college completion rates remain low. On average only about one in three students meet their goal of completing community college within three years. Community college students tend to face higher barriers to completion and represent a more diverse population than students enrolled at four-year colleges and universities. Responding to the needs and assets of community college students, community college leaders' thinking represents a shift from open access to completion through the guided pathways model. Through this phenomenological study, the researcher explored four community college students' perceptions of their experiences with barriers and facilitators of successful college completion. Based on the descriptions of their lived experiences, aspects of the formal guided pathways model helped or hindered their progress toward successful certificate or degree completion. Data analysis revealed three themes of student perceptions: (a) relational supports, (b) the impact of neoliberalism on students, and (c) the importance of high-quality learning. These perceptions aid in evaluating the impact of guided pathways on challenges, barriers, and facilitators of certificate and associate degree completions at community colleges in Washington state.
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.

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.

Download or read book Hispanics and the Future of America written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. 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.

Book Synopsis Community College Student First Year Fall to Fall Persistence by : Luzelma Canales
Download or read book Community College Student First Year Fall to Fall Persistence written by Luzelma Canales and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the United States and Texas become increasingly dependent on the success of Hispanics in higher education based on degree attainment, decision-makers and policy-makers are looking for strategies for addressing the education attainment needs of the Hispanic population. The purpose of this naturalistic inquiry was to understand 1) the barriers experienced by successful first year (fall to fall) first-time-in-college Hispanic students at a predominately Hispanic student community college on the South Texas/Mexico Border Region, 2) the expertise/knowledge required to successfully overcome these barriers during the first year (fall to fall) in college, and 3) based on these findings, offer suggestions and recommendations for addressing the barriers experienced by Hispanic students enrolled in such community colleges. More specifically, the researcher examined the barriers experienced by students during the first year of college, and based on their experiences, the expertise required to overcome those barriers. The study utilized Padilla's (1991) Student Success Model as the primary theoretical framework for the study. The data analysis led to the identification of six barrier categories, which included: 1) transition from high school to college; 2) personal and family commitments; 3) institutional support; 4) student accountability; 5) instructor issues; and 6) developmental studies/college readiness. In the findings, I include the role of general college knowledge and academic college readiness in students successfully completing the first year (fall to fall) of college. The researcher utilized the results of the study to develop the Community College Student Success Model for First-Time-in-College Students, which was adapted from Padilla (1991, 2001) and Padilla, Trevin̋o, Gonzalez, and Trevin̋o (1996). The researcher recommends utilizing Lynham's (2002) General Method of Theory-Building to move towards the development of a theory for Hispanic student success in predominately Hispanic community colleges. The researcher also recommended the development and implementation of collaborative programs and services between the public school districts and the community college for facilitating the acquisition of general college knowledge by high school students before they graduate from high school.

Book Synopsis Barriers Faced by Hispanic Students by : Garcia Victor Quiroz Alexander Bobby C
Download or read book Barriers Faced by Hispanic Students written by Garcia Victor Quiroz Alexander Bobby C and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A careful analysis compiled from six case studies of factors that impede educational success among Hispanic high school graduates going on to college.For the first time in this collected volume of six case studies, scholars will be able to find out the subjective reasons why Hispanic students drop out of college at a higher rate than any other racial or ethnic group. Filled with qualitative and quantitative analysis, this text provides evidence and gives a brief, but narrow entranceway into the lives of Hispanic college students. Whether or not community college is the right path to take for students whose families did not previously enter college is something that study takes into consideration. The drop-out rate among community college students is much higher and this could foster the problems even further.

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.

Book Synopsis Mentoring at Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) by : Jeton McClinton
Download or read book Mentoring at Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) written by Jeton McClinton and published by IAP. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary thrust of the proposed volume is to provide information for higher education minority serving institutions (MSIs) and other institutions and individuals interested in providing and/or improving mentoring programs and services to a variety of target groups. The editors are interested in how mentorship can produce beneficial outcomes for the mentor that may be similar to or different from outcomes in other educational contexts. Thus, the purpose of this volume is to showcase, through case studies and other forms of empirical research, how successful mentoring programs and relationships at MSIs have been designed and implemented. Additionally, we will examine the various definitions and slight variations of the meaning of the construct of mentoring within the MSI context. It is our intent to share aspects of mentoring programs and relationships as well as their outcomes that have heretofore been underrepresented and underreported in the research literature.
