Book Asian American Students in STEM Fields

Download or read book Asian American Students in STEM Fields written by Menglu Peng and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation aims to advance our understanding of Asian American students’ choices and trajectories in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields, especially in math-intensive STEM sub-fields, by investigating Asian American female and male students’ math-related motivational beliefs held in high school and whether/ how these motivational beliefs are associated with their intended major choices in college. Specifically, using a nationally representative dataset, the first analytic chapter of this dissertation offers a descriptive picture of three aspects of Asian American female/male high school students’ math-related motivational beliefs (i.e., math self-efficacy, math interest, and math utility value), by disaggregating them into five Asian ethnic subgroups. Disparities in high school math performance and similarities in math-related motivational beliefs among Asian American students from different ethnic subgroups are revealed. Additionally, a mismatch between East Asian American female students’ high math achievement and relatively low motivational beliefs in math (after family socioeconomic status, generational status, and prior math performance are adjusted for) is observed. The second analytic chapter provides a rich descriptive picture of Asian American female/male high school students’ math-related motivational beliefs, in comparison with those held by their peers from other racial/ethnic backgrounds. The researcher finds that although Asian American students gained the highest level of math performance in 9th grade, they do not necessarily report higher levels of math-related motivational beliefs than students in other racial/ethnic groups do. In fact, net of family socioeconomic status, generational status, and prior math performance, Asian American male and female students report significantly lower levels of math self-efficacy than their African American/ Black counterparts. The third analytic chapter explores whether motivational beliefs toward math held in high school are associated with White and Asian American female/male students’ subsequent college major choices. Findings from the third chapter reveal that high school motivational beliefs in math are significant and positive predictors of White male, White female, and Asian American male students’ intended college major choices in math-intensive STEM sub-fields (vs. non-STEM fields), but are not associated with Asian American female students’ choices of a math-intensive STEM major (vs. a non-STEM major) in college

Book Career Decision Process of First Generation Vietnamese American College Students

Download or read book Career Decision Process of First Generation Vietnamese American College Students written by Diem Nancy Nguyen and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This qualitative study investigates the career decision making process of first generation Vietnamese American college students. Due to the limited body of literature about Vietnamese students as well as the social inclusion of multiple Asian subcultures within the Asian American category, it is necessary to focus on the Vietnamese student population exclusively. This study explores the intricacies of the Vietnamese culture, generational differences, and the various pressures influencing the career navigation process for this student population in the United States. A more individualistic approach in career navigation is a key finding of this study.

Book Persistence Determination and Hard Work are Crucial Ingredients for Life

Download or read book Persistence Determination and Hard Work are Crucial Ingredients for Life written by Betty Tram Ta and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Asian Americans are often regarded as the "model minority," applauded for their ability to blend in to American society, achieve academically, and climb the socio-economic ladder. However, this model minority status is a myth that fails to recognize the variation that exists across different Asian American subpopulations. Recent studies have acknowledged the diverse ethnicities, cultural, economic, and social capital among different Asian American subgroups. This narrative inquiry explored the K-16 educational experiences of academically successful first-generation Vietnamese American college students. This Asian American subpopulation has experiences and outcomes that, in many ways, resemble those of traditionally underrepresented groups like African American and Latino students. Thus this study examined the experiences of those who have succeeded to better understand the supports upon which they have drawn and the obstacles they have navigated. Through narrative inquiry, this study gives contour and voice to the educational experience and academic life of these students from their own perspectives. More specifically, this study employed narrative representation to retell lived experiences in the form of a chronology. Themes across participants were also examined and presented to honor the voices of other participants and provide deeper insights into the experiences of first-generation Vietnamese American students. The stories of these understudied, disadvantaged students are examined to understand the personal, social, and institutional influences that affect the experience of this population and the possible interactions among these contributing factors as students navigate the K-16 educational pipeline. By means of storytelling, findings elucidate the factors that support the scholastic achievement of first-generation Vietnamese American youth and the barriers that hinder their success using a student retention and anti-deficit approach. Findings indicate that first-generation Vietnamese American youth navigated the K-16 educational pipeline as active agents with a wealth of capital and great resilience. Like other marginalized students of color, youth in this study arrived at school with aspirational, familial, social, navigational, and resistant capital. Further, collectively, cognitive, social, and institutional factors enhanced students' ability to persevere and triumph in face of barriers. However, findings also suggest that some assets, such as family and language, were not absolute. In many cases, one form of capital interacted, facilitated, or constrained another form of capital. For instance, while family could be supportive and facilitative of student success, family members and traditions also presented significant barriers for at least some study participants. Findings from this study inform policy, practice, and future research to facilitate greater participation, engagement, and educational achievement for first-generation Vietnamese American youth, as well as assist other first-generation youth navigate the educational process and create their own college-going tradition. Based on the findings of from this study, policy makers should increase funding for qualified support staff (such as, school counselors, school psychologists, school psychiatrists, school social workers, school-community liaisons, and bilingual aides) to help Vietnamese American youth overcome personal and institutional barriers to success. Schools and colleges should annually develop improvement plans, as well as publicize and evaluate the effectiveness of their efforts to promote minority student and parent engagement.

Book The Ones who Hold the World

Download or read book The Ones who Hold the World written by Allison M. Fujii and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Asian American first-generation college students--those who are the first in their families to attend college--comprise a growing yet understudied population within U.S. higher education. This qualitative study explored the career choice process of eleven Asian American first-generation college students who were majoring in arts, humanities, and social science fields. The findings suggest that students' cultural and class identities influenced the way they and their families approached the career choice process. Students often experienced family challenges in pursuing culturally nontypical majors. Participants' stories underscored the importance of culturally relevant support, and receiving such support on campus was instrumental to students' self-efficacy. Contrary to what the model minority myth purports, Asian American first-generation students are complex individuals with unique struggles and motivation in attaining higher education.

Book Home School and Community Resources Impacting Achievement for Low income Second generation Vietnamese American College Students

Download or read book Home School and Community Resources Impacting Achievement for Low income Second generation Vietnamese American College Students written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vietnamese Americans make up the fourth largest Asian ethnic group in the United States, yet have one of the highest rates of poverty among other Asian American groups. Existing research shows the bimodal achievement of Vietnamese Americans, particularly because Vietnamese American youth have high attainment rates compared to other Southeast Asian groups, but have lower attainment rates compared to Asian Americans as a whole. The purpose of this study was to examine home, school, and community resources supporting high achievement for low-income second-generation Vietnamese American students. The Network Theory of Social Capital model was adapted for an inclusive approach in looking at achievement factors among different locations. The utilized model considers the structural position and characteristics of the home, school, and community networks in providing social capital or resources benefitting achievement as well as the active engagement of individuals in accessing and mobilizing said resources. For the study, 40 second-generation Vietnamese American upperclassmen and recent graduates from 4-year colleges and universities were interviewed. The interviews provided a comprehensive insight into their educational experiences and the paths that led to their high achievement. Findings indicate that various resources in the home, school, and community networks support high achievement such as positive parental influences, institutional structures and programs, positive relationships with teachers and counselors, and personal characteristics related to resilience and perseverance. A content analysis was conducted to determine what resources within the home, school, and community networks most influenced their achievement. The data suggest that the home network, particularly parents, sets the foundation for positive association towards education while the school significantly provides tools, skills, and other positive influences for achievement. Furthermore, improving access to resourceful campus and community centers would help increase mobilization of resources towards attaining desired goals. Contributing resources and efforts on a multidimensional level will increase the likelihood of initiating high achievement for the greater Vietnamese American student population.

Book Killing the Model Minority Stereotype

Download or read book Killing the Model Minority Stereotype written by Nicholas Daniel Hartlep and published by IAP. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Killing the Model Minority Stereotype comprehensively explores the complex permutations of the Asian model minority myth, exposing the ways in which stereotypes of Asian/Americans operate in the service of racism. Chapters include counter-narratives, critical analyses, and transnational perspectives. This volume connects to overarching projects of decolonization, which social justice educators and practitioners will find useful for understanding how the model minority myth functions to uphold white supremacy and how complicity has a damaging impact in its perpetuation. The book adds a timely contribution to the model minority discourse. “The contributors to this book demonstrate that the insidious model minority stereotype is alive and well. At the same time, the chapters carefully and powerfully examine ways to deconstruct and speak back to these misconceptions of Asian Americans. Hartlep and Porfilio pull together an important volume for anyone interested in how racial and ethnic stereotypes play out in the lives of people of color across various contexts.” - Vichet Chhuon, University of Minnesota Twin Cities “This volume presents valuable additions to the model minority literature exploring narratives challenging stereotypes in a wide range of settings and providing helpful considerations for research and practice.” - David W. Chih, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign “Asian Pacific Islander adolescents and young adults are especially impacted by the model minority stereotype, and this volume details the real-life consequences for them and for all communities of color. The contributors provide a wide-ranging critique and deconstruction of the stereotype by uncovering many of its manifestations, and they also take the additional step of outlining clear strategies to undo the stereotype and prevent its deleterious effects on API youth. Killing the Model Minority Stereotype: Asian American Counterstories and Complicity is an essential read for human service professionals, educators, therapists, and all allies of communities of color.” - Joseph R. Mills, LICSW, Asian Counseling and Referral Service, Seattle WA
