This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latino males are effectively vanishing from the American higher education pipeline. Even as the number of Latinas/os attending college has actually increased steadily over the last few decades, the proportional representation of Latino males continues to slide relative to their Latina female counterparts. The question of why Latino males are losing ground in accessing higher education—relative to their peers—is an important and complex one, and it lies at the heart of this book. There are several broad themes highlighted, catalogued along with the four dimensions of policy, theory, research, and practice. The contributors to this book present new research on factors that inhibit or promote Latino success in both four-year institutions and community colleges in order to inform both policy and practice. They explore the social-cultural factors, peer dynamics, and labor force demands that may be perpetuating the growing gender gap, and consider what lessons can be learned from research on the success of Latinas. This book also closely examines key practices that enable first generation Latino male undergraduates to succeed which may seem counterintuitive to institutional expectations and preconceived notions of student behavior. Using narrative data, the book also explores the role of family in persistence; outlines how Latino men conceptualize fulfilling expectations, negotiate the emasculization of the educational process, and how they confront racialization in the pursuit of a higher education; uncovers attitudes to help-seeking that are detrimental to their success: and analyzes how those who succeed and progress in college apply their social capital – whether aspirational, navigational, social, linguistic, familial, or resistant.While uncovering the lack of awareness at all levels of our colleges and universities about the depth and severity of the challenges facing Latino males, this book provides the foundation for rethinking policy; challenges leaders to institutionalize male-focused programs and services; and presents data to inform needed changes in practice for outreach and retention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This dissertation explored the factors associated with dropping out of middle school and high school among Hispanic/Latino male students. Predictor variables investigated were: age, home language, retention history, SES, program of studies, suspensions, and GPA. Data were from a large urban school district in the state of Florida. A sample of 865 Hispanic/Latino male Latino students in the 8th grade in 1995-96 was followed longitudinally every year to the year 2000-01. Survival analysis and logistic regression were used to examine the data. The research questions were: 1) What is the relation between age, home language, retention history, SES, program of studies, suspensions, and GPA and dropping out of middle and secondary school by Hispanic/Latino males? 2) At what grade levels do the predictor variables begin to affect the male Hispanic/ Latino students' propensity for early school leaving? When are they at greatest risk? Of the predictor variables included in this research, age, retention history, program of studies, suspension, and GPA, were found to be statistically significant in the students' decision to drop out of school. This research also found that approximately 31% of this Hispanic/Latino male sample dropped out prior to completing their high school education during the 5-year span. Investigating the most hazardous time for dropping out of school, results suggested that for these students it is well into their secondary education, very close to when they would actually graduate, during their junior to senior years. It may be the time close to their eighteenth birthday that lets them legally choose to leave school that triggers this hazardous time period.

Download or read book The Impact of Family Support on Student Retention of Low-income, First-generation Latino Males at a Four-year University written by Alejandro A. Sandoval and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current trend in research focuses on the academic journey of Latino males throughout K-12 and college and is designed to look at what educational systems can provide to retain and graduate Latino men (Fry, 2002). The research shows Latino males are more likely to drop out of college than their white and gendered counterparts. As first-generation, low-income, and neglected men, they face a series of disadvantages (Alfaro, Umaña-Taylor, Gonzales-Backen, Bámaca, & Zeiders, 2009). As a result, educating parents on how to help their children navigate the educational system is crucial to the student's success (Benmayor, 2002). The goal in the majority of limited educational research on Latino parent engagement is discovering the role of the Latino male in the dynamics of the family and how that affects his experience as a college student. Researchers hope to find out how to properly support Latino parents prior to their children attending college and how to support the Latino men during their college years in order to improve the retention rates in higher education. Statement of the Problem The purpose of this research was to look at how family support affects first-generation Latino males. Currently, first-generation Latinas are more likely to graduate from college (Saenz & Ponjuan, 2009) and only 39% of first-generation Latino men succeed in attaining a bachelor's degree (Saenz & Ponjuan, 2011). Overall, what role do Latino parents play in their students schooling that significantly more Latinas than Latinos are graduating from 4-year universities? The researcher collected data through an online survey sent to first-generation Latino males in the Educational Opportunity Equity Program offered by California State University, Sacramento. The sample for this study included 18 Latino men from the EOP program. EOP serves low-income, first-generation students and provides support for students who come into the university at a disadvantage. The researcher aimed to identify how the students perceived support from their families. Latino men are being swept under the rug now more than ever. At a young age, they are marginalized by a school system that reacts with punishment rather than understanding. Latino parents need to ensure they reach out to their child's school, and schools need to ensure parent outreach is accessible to low-income parents. As social and cultural capital rises for Latinos, Latino and Latina graduation rates will grow.

This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the complexities of successful attainment and achievement of 10 Mexican American males in a rural Southwest community college. This study strives to offer insights concerning the questions: (a) what behavioral patterns of current family, peers, and conditions in school have influenced the educational decisions of these Mexican American males? and (b) what social conditions motivate these Mexican American males to seek and achieve higher education despite adversity? This qualitative research was also aimed at establishing and understanding how a selected number of Mexican American males have achieved academic success. The researcher chose 10 men with either an associate of arts or an associate of science degrees for an in-depth interview and used a semi-structured interview guide in an effort to prompt oral discourse. The interviewer posed questions concerning academic conditions, family impact, college environment, and financial issues. The responses to the questions led to similar themes involved in these students' course completion and graduation. The researcher used a theoretical framework using Bandura's Social Learning Theory (1977) in which he suggests that not only environmental factors, but motivational factors along with self-regulatory mechanisms affect an individual's behavior. This research illustrated the conditions that facilitated reaching the participant's educational goal and mission, which was to complete a two-year degree at the community college. The inquiry examined the behavioral patterns that have been an influence on the educational decisions of these Mexican American males, and what social conditions have motivated them to seek and achieve higher education despite adversity.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: After high school graduation, the majority of Latino males who decide to continue their education will do so via the community college. Many will have the familial encouragement, peer support, and aspirations to succeed with respect to their community college goal. However, many Latino male students are unsuccessful in their journey toward a community college certificate, associate's degree, or transfer to a university. The problem under investigation in this study was the achievement gap that Latino male students may experience in community colleges and the socioeconomic impact of this lack of educational opportunity. The purpose of this study was to explore the journey and experiences of 15 reentry Latino male community college students who achieved academic success after previously departing from the community college for a minimum of 1 year. Through ethnographic interview qualitative methodology, data were collected via 15 semistructured interviews of individuals who met the necessary criteria for this study. Findings suggested that Latino male students may not be informed or knowledgeable about higher education or possess the necessary navigational capital to excel at the community college. This study also revealed that Latino males may depart the community college in pursuit of employment opportunities to contribute to family expenses and to provide for themselves financially. Participants expressed that they returned to the community college to increase their career options and secure future employment with greater job security. Many participants expressed that a return to the community college was needed to fulfill a desire for a better life, to fulfill an original unaccomplished goal (educational and professional), or a new goal that was decided upon while away from the community college. Recommendations developed by this study included key partnerships among educational institutions geared toward major and career awareness, the importance of greater collaboration between the community college and partners in industry, and the role of work study for nontraditional student retention.

Book excerpt: Student retention continues to be a vexing problem for all colleges and universities. In spite of the money spent on creating programs and services to help retain students until they achieve their academic and personal goals, and graduate, the figures have not improved over time. This is particularly true for minority students, who have a greater attrition rate than majority students. Demographic information shows that the minority population in the United States is growing at a faster rate than the majority. It is imperative that educational institutions find ways to help improve retention rates for all students but particularly minority students. Retention rates should not differ appreciably among different racial/ethnic groups."The Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory and Practice" is the only scholarly, peer-reviewed journal devoted solely to college student retention. It has published many articles on minority student retention, and this topic continues to garner much attention. This book is a compilation of the very best of these articles, selected on the basis of reviews by a cadre of experts in the education field. The articles discuss African American, Latino/Latina, Asian and Asian Pacific, Native American, and biracial students, and institutional commitments to retaining a diverse student population. For those interested in this vital area, the collection will teach and inspire them to achieve greater heights and pay additional attention to retaining minority students in our colleges and universities.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to examine some selected factors that may be responsible for low retention among full-time, first-year, first-time, degree-seeking undergraduate Latino students who enrolled at Our Lady of The Lake University (OLLUSA) between the fall of 2001. Six hypotheses were developed to answer six research questions. A quantitative research design was developed and executed. A total of 322 full-time Latino students were enrolled in the Fall 2001. Since OLLUSA had a ratio of 80/20 female/male, this study used stratified random sampling by selecting 50% of the total population in order to select proportionately equal representation of both male and female participants in this study. The sample size was 161 (50% of 322) of which 31 were male and 130 female students. The predictor variables were selected based on literature reviews. The selected predictor variables were gender, SAT score, remedial Math, remedial English, Fall GPA, and first-generation college were used as independent predictors while the dependent variable was retention. All the participants in this study were first year, first time, full-time and degree-seeking students who enrolled in the fall semester of 2001. Statistical analyses were performed using descriptive (frequency/cross-tabs) and logistic regression methods. One of the predictor variables, Fall GPA significantly (

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-published in association with Big Picture Learning.Measuring Noncognitive Variables: Improving Admissions, Success, and Retention for Underrepresented Students is written for admissions professionals, counselors, faculty and advisers who admit, teach, or work with students during the admissions process and post-enrollment period. It brings together theory, research and practice related to noncognitive variables in a practical way by using assessment methods provided at no cost. Noncognitive variables have been shown to correlate with the academic success of students of all races, cultures, and backgrounds. Noncognitive variables include personal and social dimensions, adjustment, motivation, and student perceptions, rather than the traditional verbal and quantitative areas (often called cognitive) typically measured by standardized tests.Key Features include:* Models that raise concepts related to innovation, diversity and racism in proactive ways* Examples of admission and post-enrollment applications that show how schools and programs can use noncognitive variables in a variety of ways * Additional examples from foundations, professional associations, and K-12 programs* An overview of the limitations of traditional assessment methods such as admission tests, grades, and courses takenEducation professionals involved in the admissions process will find this guide effectively informs their practice. This guide is also appropriate as a textbook in a range of courses offered in Higher Education and Student Affairs Masters and PhD programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community colleges serve as the primary pathway into public postsecondary education, not only for Latino students in general, but particularly for Latino men. However, while the majority of Latino males enroll in two-year colleges, a vast number of them do not attain their educational goals. Thus, if community colleges are to be successful in supporting Latino men towards degree completion and transfer, a better understanding of this population is needed. This study seeks to fill this void by providing insight into factors that may serve to influence sense of belonging among Latino men in community colleges. The goal of this quantitative study was to create a model of sense of belonging for Latino males that may guide institutional leaders in developing interventions and policies that support their success. Findings from the analysis revealed background, environmental, academic, social, and institutional factors that positively and negatively predicted sense of belonging among Latino men in community college. Implications for research, policy, and practice are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education institutions have already begun to see decreasing enrollment numbers, even as higher education enrollment is predicted to drop precipitously starting in 2025. Much of the decrease in enrollment will be driven by demographic trends about which higher education institutions can do little, making the retention of students who do enroll that much more important. Overall retention rates have stagnated and differential retention rates by race and ethnicity have persisted. If higher education institutions, researchers, and policy makers are to improve retention rates, a critical examination of the current state and future directions of retention research is essential.This edited volume begins that examination by addressing several questions: What are the needed directions in theory and research on college student persistence and how do we translate new theory and research into effective practices? Are we asking the right questions, looking in the right places, or trying to apply out-of-date theories to new populations? In short, how can the research community help institutions improve retention in this challenging time?

Download or read book High-Achieving Latino Students written by Susan J. Paik and published by IAP. This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-Achieving Latino Students: Successful Pathways Toward College and Beyond addresses a long-standing need for a book that focuses on the success, not failure, of Latino students. While much of the existing research works from a deficit lens, this book uses a strength-based approach to support Latino achievement. Bringing together researchers and practitioners, this unique book provides research-based recommendations from early to later school years on “what works” for supporting high achievement. Praise for High-Achieving Latino Students "This book focuses on an important issue about which we know little. There are many lessons here for both scholars and educators who believe that Latino students can succeed. I congratulate the authors for taking on this timely and significant topic." ~ Guadalupe Valdés, Ph.D., Bonnie Katz Tenenbaum Professor in Education, Stanford University. Author of Con Respeto: Bridging the Distances Between Culturally Diverse Families and Schools "This is a must-read book for leaders in institutions of both K-12 and higher education who want to better understand success factors of Latino students in the US. Using a strength-based framework to understand and support Latino achievement is a new paradigm that must be considered by all." ~ Loui Olivas, Ed.D., President, American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education "In addition to being the right book at the right time, these editors should be congratulated for giving us a stellar example of how a research-practice collaboration comes together to produce such a valuable and lasting contribution to the field of school reform and improvement. Those who work in schools, universities, think tanks and policymaking centers have been waiting anxiously for this kind of book, and it’s now here." ~ Carl A. Cohn, Ed.D., Former Executive Director, California Collaborative for Educational Excellence, CA State Board of Education member, and Superintendent "There may not be a silver bullet for solving the so-called problem of Latino underachievement, but well-conceived solutions do exist. This powerful book offers strength- and asset-based frameworks that demonstrate Latino achievement is possible. Read this text to not only get informed, but to also get nurtured and inspired!" ~ Angela Valenzuela, Ph.D., Professor in Education, University of Texas at Austin.
