This book was released on 1989 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploratory in nature, this two-stage institutional case study was conducted in response to the declining participation of Blacks and Hispanics in higher education, particularly at predominantly White colleges and universities (PWCUs). The retention/attrition literature, suggest Black and Hispanic problematic student-institution interactions, questionable academic and social integration, and a uniquely tenuous "fit" at PWCUs. The researcher's intent was to test the validity of the interaction theoretical framework by documenting the experience of Black and Hispanic undergraduates for a five-year period at one large, predominantly White institution in the Southwest. In Stage I, (1) four successive (1982-85) cohorts (2,278) of Black, Hispanic, and White first-time full time undergraduates were identified in order to ascertain in enrollment, persistence and degree attainment rates and trends and (2) cohorts were divided by persistence status, race/ethnicity and gender to permit development of persisting and nonpersisting student profiles using selected demographic, academic and involvement characteristics. In Stage II, a sample of persisting and nonpersisting Black and Hispanic students were surveyed by telephone using a researcher constructed Environmental Evaluation. The study documented clear racial/ethnic differences in enrollment, persistence and degree attainment

Book Racial ethnic Identity as a Factor of Academic Resilience for Female Black and Hispanic Undergraduate Students at a Prodominitiley  sic  White Institution

Download or read book Racial ethnic Identity as a Factor of Academic Resilience for Female Black and Hispanic Undergraduate Students at a Prodominitiley sic White Institution written by Delvina Miremadi-Baldino and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research explores the gap between Black and White and Hispanic and White student degree attainment in predominately white institutions (PWI). The cost associated with each individual who fails to matriculate and attain their degree is significant for the individual, the institution and for society as a whole. The purpose of this study was to explore the risk and protective factors associated with the Black and Hispanic undergraduate experience, as well as the multiple ways in which students' perceptions of their sense of racial/ethnic identity contribute to the specific protective mechanisms that buffer the effects of exposure to risk and foster students' academic resiliency. For this study, phenomenology research methodology allowed Black and Hispanic students to describe their perceptions of the undergraduate college experience at a PWI. Data collection methods included in-depth, one-on-one, semi-structured, interviews with eleven undergraduate college students. Findings indicate that Black and Latina students experience a variety of risk and protective factors that can positively or negatively impact their identity, academic resilience and success as a student. Data results highlight the importance of a po sitive Racial/Ethnic Identity as an important protective factor for academic success. Analysis revealed that Isolation and a Lack of Sense of Belonging and Isolation, Racism and Microaggressions, and Financial Difficulties were among the most significant challenges faced by the students. The protective mechanisms of family, group and peer support, internal purpose and goals, and identity duality proved to be the most salient protective factors that contribute to student perseverance. This research revealed important insights associated with increasing positive college experiences for Black and Hispanic undergraduate students. Implications and recommendations for improving institutional commitments to these student populations will be highlighted and discussed.

Book A Phenomenological Study of African American and Hispanic Student Perceptions of the Impact of Race on Their Academic and Social emotional Experience in a Large Urban School District

Download or read book A Phenomenological Study of African American and Hispanic Student Perceptions of the Impact of Race on Their Academic and Social emotional Experience in a Large Urban School District written by Ryan Uran and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this investigation was to examine the perceived presence of racial disparities that may exist in the education system and uncover student perceptions of racism throughout each of their respective educational careers. It also brought to light student perceptions of the phenomenon and informed educators and education systems about changes that can be made so that each student can experience success at an equitable rate. Specifically, gaps between African American, Hispanic, and White students were examined. These gaps exist nationwide, but gaps particular to the author’s unique context were explicated. A study to deepen the understanding of students’ perceptions and personal experiences of racism throughout their respective educational experiences was conducted. The current study utilized a phenomenological analysis of interviews with the people most often left out of educational research, practice, and policy: the students, themselves. The findings of this investigation and their implications are critical to ensure future endeavors toward equity are more effective than they have been in the past. Among them, African American and Hispanic students perceived inequitable treatments in academic and behavioral contexts. Themes also suggested the prevalence of racism and its effects on education at both the individual and systemic levels. Suggestions for educators and education systems include continuing efforts to racially diversify not only the student body, but also the school staff. Themes also suggested African American and Hispanic students would benefit immensely from additional supports in the forms of resources, mentors, academic assistance, holistic wellness programs, and social-emotional initiatives. Recommendations for further research are also included.

Book Latino a Students  Perceptions of Their Sense of Belonging at Kansas State University

Download or read book Latino a Students Perceptions of Their Sense of Belonging at Kansas State University written by Sonia Esquivel and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative multiple case study explored the campus climate and sense of belonging of Latino/a undergraduate student participants at a predominately White university. Guided by the work of Hurtado and Carter (1997), relationships among several aspects of the college environment and sense of belonging were examined. In depth interviews regarding participants' perceptions of their experience identified how they perceived their campus climate in and outside of the academic classroom. The findings revealed how the participants' perceptions influenced their desire to graduate, commitment to, and sense of belonging. Prominent themes that emerged were: student identity, mi casa es su casa, and class size matters. The results indicated that the participants had mixed feelings regarding their experiences in and out of class, which affected their perceptions of the campus climate and their commitment to the university. Additional prominent findings were: mostly positive academic advising experiences; student organizations and advisors are an important part of the campus climate; the importance of familial support in the participants' sense of belonging; and the relationships between mothers and their sons/daughters. Participants identified offices and programs on campus that provide a positive campus climate, sense of belonging, and best serve Latino/a undergraduate students. The participants' perceptions of the campus climate were related to their sense of belonging. The results contribute to the research addressing campus climate and sense of belonging for Latino/a undergraduate students overall, including strategies for their retention. Implications for practice and future research are identified.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frustrated with the flood of news articles and opinion pieces that were skeptical of minority students' "imagined" campus microaggressions, Micere Keels, a professor of comparative human development, set out to provide a detailed account of how racial-ethnic identity structures Black and Latinx students' college transition experiences. Tracking a cohort of more than five hundred Black and Latinx students since they enrolled at five historically white colleges and universities in the fall of 2013 Campus Counterspaces finds that these students were not asking to be protected from new ideas. Instead, they relished exposure to new ideas, wanted to be intellectually challenged, and wanted to grow. However, Keels argues, they were asking for access to counterspaces—safe spaces that enable radical growth. They wanted counterspaces where they could go beyond basic conversations about whether racism and discrimination still exist. They wanted time in counterspaces with likeminded others where they could simultaneously validate and challenge stereotypical representations of their marginalized identities and develop new counter narratives of those identities. In this critique of how universities have responded to the challenges these students face, Keels offers a way forward that goes beyond making diversity statements to taking diversity actions.
