Townsel and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) holds that self-efficacy and outcome expectations are primary predictors of career choice goals and actions, with contextual influences moderating those choices and actions. Racial identity research indicates that African American adolescents perceive more barriers than their White counterparts. The current study hypothesized that chronological age, racial identity attitudes, and the perception of barriers would be significant influences on self-efficacy and outcome expectations for African American adolescents. The study explored the research question using two separate stepwise regression analyses. The first analysis explored racial identity attitudes, age, and perceived barriers in relation to self efficacy. The second analysis utilized the same independent variables to assess their relationship to outcome expectations. Results of the first analysis found that 19% of the variance in career-related self-efficacy was explained by the variables age, the perception of barriers, and the racial identity attitude Internalization Multiculturalist Inclusive as measured by the Cross Racial Identity Scale (Worrell, Vandiver, & Cross, 2004). A significant model for the second analysis exploring the relationship of the independent variables to outcome expectations was not obtained. The racial identity attitude Immersion-Emersion Anti-White was the only variable related to career outcome expectations. Findings and implications for future research are discussed.

Book Synopsis Understanding how Black Racial Identity and Demographic, Psychological and Performance Variables Intervene and Relate to Academic Achievement by : Brian Edward Harper

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The examination of a student's racial identity beliefs along with the extent to which being Black is a central part of his or her self-concept provides a novel, insightful approach to explicating the relationship between ethnic identity and academic achievement (Chavous, et. al., 2003). The implications of one's ethnicity are of particular interest to those who seek to understand the academic underperformance of African American adolescents relative to that of other ethnic groups. In an effort to further clarify the role of Black racial identity with respect to academic achievement, this study investigated racial centrality, public regard and private regard beliefs in relation to the attitudes and behaviors that inform academic achievement and the grade point average of African American high school students. A total of 289 public school students completed the Multidimensional Model of Black Identity, School Strategies Scale and an instrument on which they provided demographic data, socioeconomic status, frequency of parental involvement, academic and career aspirations, and academic values. Cluster analyses conducted on the three subscales of the MMBI replicated the four racial identity profile groups previously identified by Chavous et. al. (2003). Additionally, among the ninth grade students in this sample, Alienated students achieved significantly higher grade point averages than did Idealized students. Differences in the achievement levels of racial identity profile groups remained consistent across grade levels. Further, Idealized students reported more frequent instances of parental involvement than did students of other racial identity profile groups. No significant differences were found between racial identity profile groups with regard to number of parents in the home, race of the parents, socioeconomic status, academic and career aspirations, student values and self-regulatory strategy utilization. These results empirically support Fordham and Ogbu's (1988) hypothesis that a strong ethnic association relates negatively to academic achievement among African American students.
Book Synopsis Racial Identity Attitudes, Self-Esteem, and Academic Achievement Among African American Adolescents by : Jocelyn Freeman Bonvillain

This book was released on 2004 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the present study was to explore the extent to which racial identity attitudes and self-esteem could predict academic performance for African American middle school students. A total of 175 African American adolescents in 7th grade attending one of two urban schools participated in the study. The Multi-Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE) were used to measure children's feelings toward themselves and their group. Cumulative grade point average (gpa) was used to measure academic achievement. The findings partially supported the hypothesis that racial identity and self-esteem are predictors of academic performance. Self-esteem and racial affiliation were significant predictors of academic achievement, but not the racial identity search component of the MEIM. The results revealed self-esteem to be less predictive of academic achievement than racial affiliation. The second part of the study was to examine the effects of racial identity and self-esteem on African American adolescents' academic performance. The hypothesis was supported. Students who exhibited high levels of self-esteem and racial identity performed better academically than students who showed low levels of self-esteem and racial identity. (Contains 7 tables.).

Book Synopsis Attitudes that Affect the Black-White Achievement Gap by : Kathryn Sarzyniak
Download or read book Attitudes that Affect the Black-White Achievement Gap written by Kathryn Sarzyniak and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book researches the achievement gap between Black and white students and theorizes that Black students associate scholastic achievement with 'acting white' or 'selling out' African American culture. This claim is evidenced with research that focuses on academic salience, academic futility, and racial identity. The historical and educational background as well as coping strategies of African Americans are explored to determine the origin and explanations for this sentiment. Furthermore, this book considers the implications of Ebonics, African American students' dialect, in the classroom. Code-switching is noted as a means of effectively making conscious decisions about what form of language is appropriate in varying contexts. Lastly, culturally relevant teaching strategies which involve students in code-switching, literary analysis, and critical thinking are shared. These strategies offer insights on how to alter African American students' perceptions about academic success and enable students to embrace learning as a rich part of their cultural identity and a necessary step for their future.

Download or read book Towards an Understanding of Race and Academic Achievement in the Lives of African American Students written by Mary E. Grech and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A literature review, which examined the work of John Ogbu and Signithia Fordham on the notion of “the burden of ‘acting White’”, and ethnographic interviews with African American college students were used to explore the nature of students’ experiences with race and education. More specifically, the study explored the role of racial identity in educational settings, whether academic achievement was ever associated with being White or “acting White,” and if these potential associations affected student attitudes, decisions, or behaviors. The study concluded that role of race in African American students’ educational experiences is specific to each individual student and the way the student has assigned meaning to interactions with other individuals, such as parents, peers, and teachers, and community and system forces.

Book Synopsis Racial Identity Attitudes of African American Students and Student Developmental Tasks by : Richard Charles Peagler
Download or read book Racial Identity Attitudes of African American Students and Student Developmental Tasks written by Richard Charles Peagler and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study sought to examine the relationship between racial identity attitudes and the mastery of developmental tasks of African-American students at predominantly White colleges. The research hypotheses were as follows: (H1) African-American students at predominantly white colleges with Pre-encounter stage attitudes will be less likely to report mastery of the developmental tasks of Clarifying Purpose, Mature Interpersonal Relationships, Academic Autonomy and Salubrious Lifestyle. (H2) African-American students at predominantly white colleges with Encounter and Internalization stage attitudes will be more likely to report the mastery of the developmental tasks of Clarifying Purpose, Mature Interpersonal Relationships, Academic Autonomy and Salubrious Lifestyle. (H3) African-American students at predominantly white colleges with Immersion stage attitudes will be less likely to report mastery of developmental tasks of Clarifying Purpose, Mature Interpersonal Relationships, Academic Autonomy and Salubrious Lifestyle. The author used two theoretical models: the Theory Racial Identity Development, Cross (1971) and Chickering's (1969) Theory of Psychosocial Development. To operationalize both theories, the Racial Identity Attitudes Scale, Parham and Helms (1981) was used to measure racial identity attitudes and the Student Developmental Task and Lifestyle Inventory was used to measure student development (Winston, Miller, and Prince, 1987). The sample consisted of 119 African-American college students who were members of the Black Student unions at three predominantly White public colleges. Hierarchical multiple regression was used to determine the relationship between personal background characteristics, the racial identity attitudes and student developmental tasks. Pre-encounter (anti-Black) and Immersion (pro-Black) stage attitudes were less likely to report the mastery of the tasks associated with mature interpersonal relationships. Students with Encounter (pro-Black) stage attitudes were more likely to report the mastery of the Establishing and Clarifying Purpose task and Salubrious Lifestyle. Personal background characteristics showed the strongest effects. For Mature Interpersonal Relationships tasks, the strongest effects were class level and gender. Females were more likely to report the mastery of the Mature Interpersonal Relationships task. Four effects were stronger when Salubrious Lifestyle was examined. These were gender (males were likely to report the mastery of the Salubrious Lifestyle task while in college), income level, the percentage of Blacks in one's high school at the time of graduation, and the predominant race of teachers at the time of graduation. The findings of this study have implications for student affairs professionals such as counselors and residence life staff.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late 1960s, the enrollment of African American students in higher education has steadily increased. Furthermore, the community college system and specifically the California community college system has seen the highest rise in the enrollment of African American students. Despite the rise in their numbers, African American male students who have relied on the California community college system as a conduit to a better life continue to have the lowest academic achievement outcomes and are the most likely to leave college. Although research shows that the persistence and academic achievement of college students is linked to the interactions they have with faculty and their peers, little is known about whether these relationships are also connected to the academic achievement of African American males attending California community colleges, nor is it understood how psychosocial factors influence the achievement. This dissertation built on a study conducted by Reid (2007) in which Tinto's institutional integration theory (e.g., Tinto, 1993) was extended by assertion that African American males who are academically successful (and not just persistent) are also well integrated in the academic and social milieu of their college campuses. Reid's study also hypothesized that their level of institutional integration which influenced their academic achievement was linked to their racial identity attitudes and self-efficacy beliefs. The study employed a qualitative phenomenological approach in which twelve African American male students, who were recruited from one Southern California community college, were interviewed to learn about their educational experiences and perceptions. The goal of the study was to provide a voice to this student subgroup which continues to under-perform academically. The findings of the study highlight the importance of race, faculty connections and intrinsic motivation factors in reaching academic goals. The study provides recommendations, based on the findings, for educators, administrators and other community college stakeholders to better assist African American males attending community colleges in California to attain their educational goals.
