Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: First generation college students encounter adversity throughout their path through college. It is of value then to study the factors that affect first generation college students' academic success. Research Questions: does academic resilience correlate with first generation college students' school involvement? Further are there differences between groups of students? Methods: The Academic Resilience Scale (ARS-30), student involvement questions, and demographics were used to explore these questions. Results: Findings from the study of first generation college students (N=193) suggested that students of color have less perseverance and help seeking behaviors when faced with adversity when compared to their white counterparts. In addition, school involvement significantly correlate with resilience. Further, female and trans students have less perseverance when faced with adversity, and trans students, additionally, have less help seeking behaviors when faced with adversity. Finally, the results suggest that students of color have less negative affect when faced with adversity when compared to their white counterparts. Discussion: Based on the results, it is important for colleges to outreach and better these groups of first-generation college students and increase student involvement. Search terms: first generation college students, students of color, resilience, and student involvement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First-generation college students, or college students whose parents have not attended college or have attended college but have not received a degree, are traditionally approached from a deficit model. The purpose of the current study is to explore the possible mediating effects of psychological resilience on the relationships between protective and risk factors and academic and psychological outcomes among first-generation college students. In the current study, a sample of 101 first-generation college students were recruited at Washington State University. Using a convenience-based sampling approach, participants were recruited from several on-campus programs that serve first-generation college students. Multiple path analyses were performed to test five hypotheses. The results indicated that (1) resilience mediated the relationship between perceived stress and psychological well-being (Hypothesis 1b), but not academic performance (Hypothesis 1a); (2) resilience mediated the relationship between perceived social support and academic performance (Hypothesis 2a) and psychological well-being (Hypothesis 2b); (3) resilience mediated the relationship between certain indicators of socioeconomic status (e.g., household income, mother education) and psychological well-being (Hypothesis 3b), but not academic performance (Hypothesis 3a); (4) resilience did not mediate the relationship between high school GPA and academic performance (Hypothesis 4a) or psychological well-being (Hypothesis 4b); (5) perceived stress and high school GPA had significant direct effects on academic performance (Hypothesis 5); and (6) perceived stress, perceived social support, income status, and high school GPA had significant direct effects on psychological well-being (Hypothesis 5). The implications for future research and practice on resilience and first-generation college students are discussed.

Book excerpt: Abstract: The issue of the disproportionate number of African American students in the k-12 arena who fall short in their educational pursuits has been heavily discussed by educators who desire to uncover the reason for the disparity. Yet, most research on African American students merely provides a quantitative description of their shortcomings, and fails to provide comprehensive information that addresses causes for attrition and academic deficiency. Moreover, there is minimal literature and research that focuses on resiliency in African American undergraduate college students, and particularly first generation individuals, which is a great cause for concern as retention rates for the group fall far below those of the majority cohort. The purpose of this study was to explore and familiarize researchers and educators with the life experiences of selected first generation African American college students who have successfully completed three or more years of undergraduate studies, in spite of negative and detrimental factors and situations that appeared throughout their lifetime journeys. The study also shines light on how some students make meaning of their life's experiences and recognizes how different events have been of influence on their voyage to and now in, higher education. It is important to note that this study is phenomenological in nature, and thus, posed no theory at its inception, but sought to reveal the lived experiences of the participants, due to the reality that few studies have centered on African American college students and their stories of survival and success, particularly in their higher education endeavors. This study highlights how these students have utilized the protective factors of spirituality, educational institutions, the view of success as obligatory to the family and community, and self-regulation in their onward journey to educational attainment, each of which have enabled them to remain strong and focused even as a number of obstacles became apparent. Lastly, I compose strategies that serve to provide colleges and universities, and other vested parties with valuable information that serve to aid in the development of strategies, programs and initiatives that can be of impact on the retention rates for African American students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over the course of ten years, this extensive qualitative study focused on the academic resilience phenomenon. The research delves into the educational resilience experiences of fifty low socioeconomic students of color from a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds. In addition to chronicling specific protective factors and processes active in the students' lives, several symbiotic relationships between groups of protective factors are documented and explored. A Resilience Cycle theory, which was chronicled in previous works of the authors, is used as a framework to view essential elements of the students' academic success. Ultimately, the data and findings are used to propose practical suggestions for promoting academic resilience in at-risk youth nationwide. Furthermore, because one author specializes in education and the other in psychology, both of these disciplines are brought to bear on this crucial and understudied topic." -- from back cover.

This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past few decades universities have opened their doors to students whose parents and grandparents were historically excluded from societal participation and higher education for reasons associated with racial, ethnic, socio-economic and/or linguistic diversity. Many of these students are first generation - or first in their family to attend university. While some progress has been made in responding to the needs of these internationally underserved learners, many challenges remain. This edited book features the unique and diverse experiences of first generation students as they transition into and engage with higher education whilst exploring ways in which universities might better serve these students. With reference to culturally responsive and sustaining research methodologies undertaken in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, the UK and the USA, the contributors critically examine how these students demonstrate resilience within university, and ways in which success and challenges are articulated. Elements that are unique to context and shared across the international higher education milieu are explored. The book is replete with diverse student voices, and compelling implications for practice and future research. The studies featured are centred on underlying theories of identity and intersectionality while valuing student voices and experiences. Throughout, the emphasis is on using strengths-based indigenous and decolonised methodologies. Through these culturally sustaining approaches, which include critical incident technique, participatory learning and action, talanoa and narrative inquiry, the book explores rich data on first generation student experiences at seven institutions in six countries across four continents.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of how first generation college students leverage both traditional forms of social capital and community cultural wealth in the process of transferring from a California community college to a selective four-year institution, using a Critical Race Theory (CRT) paradigm, and a framework including Stanton-Salazar’s (1997) network analytic theory and Yosso’s (2005) community cultural wealth. The current study adds to the literature by critically analyzing the post-secondary education experiences of first generation community college transfer students, focusing on the students’ strengths and gaining a better understanding of what institutional and community based resources they drew on to successfully navigate the transfer pathway. This mixed methods study was situated at UC Berkeley and included 115 survey respondents and 15 individual interviews. All participants were first generation college students who had transferred to UC Berkeley from a California community college. Qualitative analysis was intentionally centered in this study in order to address elements of community cultural wealth that previous survey instruments have not adequately captured. Survey results are presented through descriptive analysis, drawing on a critical quantitative survey design. Findings show that students leveraged a variety of resources including institutionally based support through faculty, counselors and specialized support programs, and community based supports such as family, peers and students’ own online research to navigate the transfer pathway.
