Book Synopsis Hispanic Ethnic Identity and Academic Achievement for At-risk High School Students by : Cesalie Stepney
Download or read book Hispanic Ethnic Identity and Academic Achievement for At-risk High School Students written by Cesalie Stepney and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescence is a period of identity exploration and development. In particular, ethnic identity forms an important aspect of identity for ethnic minority youth. Prior research has found that ethnic identity is related to positive psychosocial and academic outcomes among these populations. This study sought to expand the definition of ethnic identity for Hispanic youth to include other related aspects of identity, specifically acculturation, immigration status, and language use. Further, it was hypothesized that Hispanic Ethnic Identity would positively predict academic achievement. In addition, self-efficacy and social support were examined as potential mediators of this relationship. Data were collected in a majority Hispanic high school in a low-income neighborhood in New Jersey (82.61% Hispanic by school-report, 90.98% receiving free or reduced lunch). The sample consisted of 540 self-identified Hispanic students (Mean age = 17.15, 48.70% female, 61.11% born in the U.S.). Structural equation modeling was employed to a) test the newly defined Hispanic Ethnic Identity construct and b) test a model of the hypothesized relationships between Hispanic Ethnic Identity, academic achievement (as measured by end-of-year GPA), general self-efficacy, and perceived social support from teachers. Results revealed that contrary to the hypothesized model, there was a significant, but negative, direct relationship between Hispanic Ethnic Identity and GPA. However, there was also a positive mediation effect of Hispanic Ethnic Identity to academic achievement via self-efficacy. Differences were revealed by gender. Exploratory analyses were also conducted to test the model in Mexican-origin and Dominican-origin adolescents. Overall, results revealed that Hispanic Ethnic Identity impacted academic achievement via dual distinct pathways, with a negative direct effect and positive indirect effect on GPA. Implications and future directions are discussed.
Book Synopsis Academic Achievement and Self-efficacy Among Diverse Populations by : Walter Scott Roberts (III.)

This book was released on 2014 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-efficacy and academic achievement for Hispanic, Black, and White students. Self-efficacy has been studied immensely related to performance and academic achievement. However, little focus has been placed on general academic achievement across the curriculum. In this quantitative study, the researcher sought to establish a correlation between academic achievement and self-efficacy across racial, gender, and socioeconomic lines using non-probabilistic sampling techniques and surveying. Self-efficacy was studied in the context of Bandura's and other self-efficacy scholars' theories and measured using the Morgan-Jinks Student Efficacy Scale. The results suggested a strong correlational relationship between self-efficacy and academic achievement for Hispanic, Black, and White participants. Analysis failed to produce significant results related to the relationship between gender, socioeconomic status, and self-efficacy. Additionally, no significant differences were found in the proportion of low achieving and low self-efficacy students across the three racial groups. Results from this study may provide specific information to help teachers work with low achieving and low self-efficacy students to increase academic achievement. This study will hopefully inspire future studies to implement strategies aimed at increasing self-efficacy and academic achievement as well studies incorporating other demographic groups.
Book Synopsis The Role of Core Self-evaluations on First Year Performance and Retention Among Hispanic Students by : Rosa Isela Law
Download or read book The Role of Core Self-evaluations on First Year Performance and Retention Among Hispanic Students written by Rosa Isela Law and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The core self-evaluations (CSE) concept combines the four personality traits of self-esteem, generalized self-efficacy, emotional stability, and locus of control in order to predict job performance or job satisfaction. Although CSE has been traditionally applied to business, core self-evauations can be applied in a university setting to predict student performance and retention from year to year. This study explores the relationship to core self-evaluations, academic performance, and retention among Hispanic students attending a Hispanic serving institution along the Texas/Mexico border after their first year of college. This study also explores the moderating effect of core self-evaluations on the relationship between academic motivation, campus engagement, family support and hours worked with academic performance and year-to-year retention.

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.

Book Synopsis Bi-cultural Competence and Academic Resilience Among Immigrants by : Rosalva Vega Vargas-Reighley
Download or read book Bi-cultural Competence and Academic Resilience Among Immigrants written by Rosalva Vega Vargas-Reighley and published by LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2005 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vargas-Reighley examines the relationship among bicultural competence, stress and coping processes, adaptive processes, and academic resilience. Participants were Latina/o and Southeast Asian youth from two high schools in California. The Latina/o group was more likely to experience greater family stress, including greater parental marital dysfunction, more severe stressors, and greater stress ratings. The Southeast Asians were more likely to be of lower socioeconomic status, but more likely to show higher academic goals and achievement. Results indicate that bicultural competence was related to greater self-esteem, social support coping and coping efficacy in the familial stressful situation, and direct action coping and coping efficacy in the academic stressful situation. Bicultural competence does appear to be related to adaptive outcomes.

Book Synopsis College Self-efficacy and Academic Performance in Mexican American Undergraduates by : Marvyn R. Arévalo Avalos
Download or read book College Self-efficacy and Academic Performance in Mexican American Undergraduates written by Marvyn R. Arévalo Avalos and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grounded in Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT; Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 1994, 2000), the current study examines environmental and person-cognitive variables as predictors of academic performance among a sample of 194 Mexican American undergraduate students. Specifically, this study used multiple regression analysis to test the associations between college self-efficacy (course self-efficacy and social self-efficacy), proximal contextual influences (campus climate and cultural fit), and gender on the academic performance (self reported grade point average, GPA). Results indicated that course self-efficacy was a significant predictor of academic performance for Mexican American undergraduate students. In addition, social self-efficacy, positive perceptions of the campus climate, and cultural fit were associated with high self-efficacy. This study contributes to our knowledge of college student development in general, and academic attainment among Mexican Americans specifically. Practice and research recommendations are discussed.

Download or read book Sí, Se Puede! Yes, We Can written by Angela B. Ginorio and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication explores the experiences of Latinas in the United States' educational system, utilizing the concept of "possible selves" to investigate the lives of Latinas in school, at home, and with their peers. The concept of "possible selves" articulates the interaction between Latinas' current social contexts and their perceived options for the present and the future. Part 1, "Overview of Trends of Latinas' Educational Participation," focuses on: graduation rates, suspensions, tracking and course-taking, standardized test scores, grades, college enrollment by type of college, completion of degrees, majors, Latina/o faculty, and economic effects of education. Part 2, "Characteristics of Communities Affecting Participation/Success," looks at family, peers and peer groups, and schools. Part 3, "Individual Characteristics Associated with Educational Outcomes," discusses culture and the individual and self-efficacy. Part 4, "Conclusions and Recommendations," analyzes the effect of family, school, and community on academic potential and offers recommendations for school personnel, families, and policymakers. The three appendixes provide information on the research methodology, a summary of data on Latinas for selected states, and some Latina-serving programs in the United States.

Book Synopsis Handbook on Positive Development of Minority Children and Youth by : Natasha J. Cabrera
Download or read book Handbook on Positive Development of Minority Children and Youth written by Natasha J. Cabrera and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook presents current research on children and youth in ethnic minority families. It reflects the development currently taking place in the field of social sciences research to highlight the positive adaptation of minority children and youth. It offers a succinct synthesis of where the field is and where it needs to go. It brings together an international group of leading researchers, and, in view of globalization and increased migration and immigration, it addresses what aspects of children and youth growing in ethnic minority families are universal across contexts and what aspects are more context-specific. The Handbook examines the individual, family, peers, and neighborhood/policy factors that protect children and promote positive adaptation. It examines the factors that support children’s social integration, psychosocial adaptation, and external functioning. Finally, it looks at the mechanisms that explain why social adaptation occurs.
