Book excerpt: "A current research study (United States Commission on Civil Rights, 1972) found that although one out of four Anglo students complete their education at the university level, only one out of twenty Mexican-Americans earn their degrees. Since it is known what factors are a hindrance to academic achievement and eventual academic success, there is a need to ascertain to what extent they are found in the Mexican-American population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Mexican-American population served by the Chicano Education Program at Eastern Washington University to determine whether these factors are found in the students. The variables studied were locus of control, level of acculturation, socioeconomic status, academic achievement, class standing and gender. This profile would allow the directors of the Chicano Education Program to better serve their students by determining what types of educational methods, curriculum and teaching strategies are best suited to the students' characteristics"--Document.
