This book was released on 2012 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social identity theory maintains that one's self-concept is partially determined by the social groups to which the individual belongs. Using this as a theoretical framework, this study examined the relationship between multiple dimensions of institutional identity and self-esteem in 411 Black male college freshmen. It was hypothesized that self-esteem would be related to institutional identity and that there would be no differences in this relationship amongst students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and those attending Predominately White Institutions (PWIs). The results suggested that there was a relationship between self-esteem and institutional identity; however, this relationship varied according to institutional type. Although a sense of belonging predicted self-esteem in all institutions, perceptions of others' appraisal (public regard) of their institution predicted self-esteem in HBCU participants, while one's personal appraisal (private regard) of their institution predicted self-esteem in PWI participants. The self-concept of Black male freshmen at PWIs appears to be explained by an internalized appraisal of their institution, while the opposite occurs in Black male freshmen at HBCUs. Further investigation may also suggest a difference in this relationship according to different HBCUs. The Institutional Identity Scale is appended.

This book was released on 2014-06-24 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improving college access and success among Black males has garnered tremendous attention. Many social scientists have noted that Black men account for only 4.3% of the total enrollment at 4-year postsecondary institutions in the United States, the same percentage now as in 1976. Furthermore, two thirds of Black men who start college never finish. The lack of progress among Black men in higher education has caused researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to become increasingly focused on ways to increase their access and success. Offering recommendations and strategies to help advance success among Black males, this monograph provides a comprehensive synthesis and analysis of factors that promote the access, retention, and persistence of Black men at diverse institutional types (e.g., historically Black colleges and universities, predominantly White institutions, and community colleges). It delineates institutional policies, programs, practices, and other factors that encourage the success of Black men in postsecondary education. This is the 3rd issue of the 40th volume of the Jossey-Bass series ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monograph is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education issue, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.

Book excerpt: High achieving African American males report a heightened sense of self-efficacy, with this motivational belief having the strongest effect on achievement among all the factors considered. In addition, the most confident and successful students also reported being satisfied with their opportunities to interact with faculty. A two-way interaction exists between measures of institutional integration and certain racial identity attitudes. Black males with higher GPAs in college also report higher levels of faculty and peer integration, though the relationship is moderated by certain racial identity attitudes. These results suggest that predominantly White research universities can improve the outcomes of Black male undergraduates by facilitating opportunities for them to meet and interact with faculty and by developing their academic self-efficacy and racial identity beliefs. The dissertation subsequently introduces a multidimensional achievement model for African American males and applies this model to explain why certain university programs are successful. It ends by suggesting specific ways universities can foster the achievement of African American male undergraduates.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quantitative, correlational design was utilized in this study to examine the relationship between academic self-efficacy, racial identity, and the academic success of first-generation African American male college students at Predominantly White Institutions of higher education. The study comprised 89 first-generation African American male college students attending five public institutions of higher education in the northern geographical region of the United States. The data were collected using the Academic Self-efficacy Scale (ases), Black Racial Identity Attitude Scale (brias), and a demographic questionnaire. The study employed three hypotheses: (a) academic self-efficacy would independently predict gpa; (b) racial identity would independently predict gpa; and (c) academic self-efficacy and racial identity combined would predict gpa. Of the three hypotheses, racial identity was the only variable that did not significantly predict gpa. This research potentially can add to the existing body of retention literature on first-generation African American male college students, most particularly on predominantly White campuses. It might also prove useful for parents, educators, and community leaders wishing to develop strategies and techniques that will foster academic resiliency among this student population. The findings from this study generated questions that warrant further investigation. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest llc.

Book excerpt: Studying the self-esteem of African American college students attending Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) helps us understand how African American students function in situations when their minority status is pronounced. A small number of African Americans enroll in colleges and universities, with a smaller, yet rising percentage attending PWIs (U.S. Census Bureau, 2012). This study examines the self-esteem of the small population of African American students who attend a PWI. Tinto's Theory of Student Departure and Uncertainty Reduction Theory provided a framework for the study. A survey was distributed to identify levels of self-esteem of these students, examine group membership and its relation to self-esteem, and analyze positive and negative experiences while attending a PWI. A total of 68 African American students across 22 universities participated in the study. The findings indicate self-esteem was slightly higher than normal and esteem did not significantly differ by group membership. A content analysis of responses identified 14 themes present in the experiences that update and add to our understanding of the African American experience in a PWI.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume dedicated to the engagement of African American males in community colleges furthers the research agenda focused on improving the educational outcomes of African American males. The theme engagement also supports the anti-deficit approach to research on African American males developed by renowned research scholars. The true success of African American males in community colleges rests on how well these institutions engage young men into their institutions. This will require community colleges to examine policies, pedagogical strategies, and institutional practices that alienate African American males and fosters a culture of underachievement. The authors who have contributed to this volume all speak from the same script which proves than when African American males are properly engaged in an education that is culturally relevant, they will succeed. Therefore, this book will benefit ALL who support the education of African American males. It is our intent that this book will contribute to the growing body of knowledge that exists in this area as well as foster more inquiry into the achievement of African American males. The book offers three approaches to understanding the engagement of African American males in community college, which includes empirical research, policy perspectives and programmatic initiatives.
