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.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are pervasive disparities among Latino students' academic achievement in higher education. Although the percentage of Latino students enrolling in post-secondary education has significantly increased every decade since the 1970s, an achievement gap exists among Latino students and other racial/ethnic groups. In addition to the achievement gap between these two groups, there are significant differences in the retention and persistence within the population of college-bound Latinos. Latino male students continue to lag behind Latino females in post-secondary degree attainment. Previous studies have examined the academic achievement of Latino students and a limited number has studied Latino male students. However, most studies have focused on Latinos attending four-year institutions and these studies tended to focus on students' perspectives. Little is known about faculty's perspectives of the academic performance of Latino students, particularly Latino male students in community colleges. Thus, there are still gaps in our understanding of this phenomenon. The purpose of this study was to explore community college faculty members' perceptions of Latino male students' academic performance. The study employed qualitative research methods and a phenomenological approach. The theoretical framework for this study was based on Alexander Astin's Student Involvement Theory and Laura Rendón's Validation Theory. Seventeen full-time faculty members were recruited from Bay Community College (BCC) in Southern California. Individual face-to-face interviews, journal notes, demographic information questionnaires and one focus group were conducted to address the following three research questions: (1) What factors contribute to the academic performance of Latino male students in community colleges?, (2) How are faculty members involved in Latino male students' academic and social activities?, and (3) How do faculty members view the institution's role in validating Latino male students' academic achievement? All interviews and focus group were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. Interview and focus group transcripts were analyzed using the methods of content analysis and discourse analysis. Data triangulation, respondent checking, and peer debriefing were employed to ensure credibility, dependability, and trustworthiness of the data and the interpretation. Analysis of the research yielded the following themes pertaining to faculty perceptions of the academic achievement of Latino male students. For research question number one, three themes emerged from the data: Becoming a College Student, Student Engagement, and Identity of Latino Male Students. For research question number two, one theme emerged: Interactions between Faculty and Latino Male Students. For research question number three, the theme Validation and Sense of Belonging surfaced describing the institutions role in validating Latino Male Students. Based on the study findings, implications and recommendations for research and practice were made in order to address the academic success of Latino male students at Bay Community College.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a national scale Latinos are the fastest growing segment of the population, and in the state of Texas the Hispanic population is projected to eclipse non-Hispanic whites as the largest race or ethnic group within the next decade. However, today we are experiencing a growing gender gap in academic achievement across the P-16 educational continuum. In fact, compared to their Latina peers, Latino males are more likely to repeat a grade, be suspended and expelled, placed in special education, diagnosed as ADHD, and drop out or be pushed out of school. Additionally, Latino males' continue to be underrepresented in U.S. institutions of higher education participation and completion rates. Previous literature demonstrates how cultural, social, and psychological factors have impacted the college experiences of Latino students. However, only recently has there emerged literature that takes into account the distinctive experiences of Latino males in college. This qualitative study specifically examined how twelve Latino male students experienced help-seeking at two North Texas community college campuses, using the Model for College Students' Help-Seeking Experiences, which takes into account Achievement Goal Theory (motivation), Attribution Theory (academic-control), and Help-Avoidance (basis for avoiding help-seeking) as tools of analysis. The primary data collection sources included demographic information form, semi-structured face-to-face interviews, documents and artifacts, analytical and reflective memos, and observation field notes. The findings of this study revealed differing motivational factors for achievement related behavior, high sense of perceived academiccontrol, as well as means for avoiding help-seeking.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The objective of this study was to explore, identify, and gain an understanding of the experiences and contributing factors that affect Latino male students (LMS) attainment of a community college education or transfer to 4-year institutions. Hidden Hills College (HHC; pseudonym) is a large California community college located in an urban setting in Southern California. HHC is primarily a commuter campus and a Hispanic serving institution, regionally accredited by Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC). This qualitative study included 22 interviews of currently enrolled students at HHC. The participants, selected based on the sampling criteria, consist of Latino males who had completed at least 24 units and were seeking an AA/AS or transfer to a 4-year institution (California State University, University of California, private). The students were between the ages of 18- 4. Additionally, through the literature review, aspirations, familial support, persistence, and challenges were summarized and analyzed, which provided an opportunity to learn about the different contributing factors that support or hinder the transfer or degree attainment of Latino males. The major findings showed that in relation to challenges experienced by LMS in the pursuit for an associate degree or transfer to a 4-year institution are cultural expectations, parents lack of understanding, financial hardship, lack of time, and lack of academic preparation. The study also revealed that in relation to strategies used by LMS in their efforts to pursue an associate degree or transfer to a 4-year institution are aspirations for a better future, family support, motivation, and campus resources. Recommendation for policy and practice focused on improving and promoting higher education for Latino males, as well as recommendations for further studies are presented.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brief Literature Review: The Latino population is the fastest growing group in the nation, demands further consideration in academic research as well as a place in higher education (Brown, Santiago, & Lopez, 2003). The number of Latino students earning a bachelor's degree increased by 105% from 1990 to 2000 (NCES, 2003). But only 18.6% of these students achieved their goal of receiving a bachelor's degree within 8 years compared to 37.5% of Caucasian students (Swail, Cabrera, & Lee, 2004). This statistic becomes even more alarming when gender is considered; Latino males are more underrepresented in colleges compared to their Latina counterparts (NCES, 2003; Bailey, Jeong & Cho, 2010). Statement of the Problem: This research explores how family members, higher education personnel and peers supported Latino males transferring from a community college into a four year university. Using the following questions this study aims to understand the barriers, achievements and persistence of Latino male students who have historically been underrepresented in higher education, and are now becoming part of the rising number of ethnically diverse groups at colleges and universities. 1. What role does family play in supporting Latino male transfer students' in succeeding in higher education? 2. What role do higher education programs and the institution play in supporting Latino male transfer students' persistence in higher education? 3. What role do peers play in supporting Latino male transfer students' persistence in higher education? Methodology: This qualitative study attend to the ways in which academic, family and social factors impact Latino male students' success through the lived experiences of six Latino male transfer students. The author proceeded to analyze the data in order to determine common themes and experiences of Latino male students in higher education. Conclusion and Recommendations: This study concluded that Latino males who successfully transferred to Northern California University shared certain characteristics and experiences. Although Latino males experienced obstacles and challenges in academia, the support of family and the development of a sense of belonging in college appear to key to their academic success. It is the intention of this study for the result to be used by administrators and policy makers in order to create and maintain initiatives that speak to the needs of minority students and with special attention to the missing Latino male in higher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Counselors and educators are advocates for understanding ourselves, multiculturalism, and diversity in a societal climate of division. Provided the recent political coup and exclusion ideology, Latino Male students are marginalized because of cultural identity (Machismo) and cultural values. Due to the controversial nature of Machismo, masculinity, and language with Latino Males, multicultural educators are constantly silenced in universities by political correctness and censorship. Specifically, Latino Males are a direct target for incidences of racism, microaggressions, and oppression in our society. Colleges, universities, and counseling field has been moving forward slowly in its scope of “inclusion advocacy” for Latino Male students. There is a dearth in the empirical research on Latino Male experiences of otherness, indifference, and exclusion. The proposed textbook will establish viable, strategies to deepen cultural competence and inclusion advocacy. A competent framework for engagement is desperately needed in areas of inclusion, advocacy, and social justice for Latino Males. The convergence of sociopolitical views on diverse relationships has ignited an era of unrest, exclusion ideology, and remnants of mental distress and trauma in Latino communities. The textbook/reader will specifically address the issues of Latino Male Machismo in colleges and universities. The authors will produce a variety of important readings (chapters) about Latino Male students, Otherness, and strategies for cultural inclusion of identity, values, and practices. The potential contributions from this research will provide a foundation for implementing innovative, inclusion programs for Latinx students as well. To further add content, critical incidences of bias, discrimination, otherness, and exclusion will be addressed in a manner that promotes a new form of connectedness for Latino Males in colleges and universities. The intended audience for this textbook/reader are counselor educators, student affairs professionals, counselors, and university counselors.

Book excerpt: The majority of Hispanics select community colleges as their higher institution of choice, but studies on what contributes to their success, especially Hispanic males, has been limited. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence, if any, of environmental variables on the cumulative GPA of Hispanic males attending community college. Employing Astin's Theory of Student Involvement, data from the CCSSE's 2012 - 2014 survey were used to conduct a multiple regression analysis. The study's sample included 5,615 Hispanic males attending community college. The final model identified 15 variables that were significantly related to the cumulative GPA of Hispanic males attending community college, and explained 15.6% of the variance. Student effort and active and collaborative learning variables emerged as the strongest predictors of Hispanic male GPA. This study provides educators with additional resources to improve Hispanic male academic success in the community college, and informs future research, theory, policy, and practice.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latino students often embark on their post-secondary educational journey at a community college due to cost, proximity to family, and open access policies. The current literature on Latina/o community college students has primarily focused on a deficit view of the educational aspirations and educational completion of this population. The current rapid and expected growth of the Latina/o population requires a call to action to identify the capital and supports employed by these students to navigate their journey to eventual transfer to the University in the Southwest region of the United States. Guided by Yosso's (2005) Community Cultural Wealth framework, my dissertation examined the educational experiences of five Latino male students at a Southwest Community College. Latina/o students highlighted the challenges that they encountered, resources available to overcome these challenges, and their resiliency. The findings are indicative of the presence and utilization of aspirational, navigational and resilience capital driven by self-determination.

Book excerpt: Abstract: With the majority of Latina/o students entering higher education through the community college, and Latino males lagging in degree attainment rates, there is a need to focus on the Latino male population and their success. This study examines the transfer aspirations of Latino males in pre-baccalaureate education in the California Community College system. Findings from t -tests, factor analyses, and a logistic regression model suggest that there are differences between non-pre-baccalaureate and pre-baccalaureate Latino males related to financial aid, social interaction, and institutional commitment and fit. In addition to these differences, the logistic regression model demonstrated age, source of tuition, satisfaction with credit assistance, and satisfaction with the computer lab as being significant factors contributing toward transfer aspirations. Recommendations were made to streamline and improve policies and practices to better serve the pre-baccalaureate Latino male population.
