Abstract

Using student-level data, this study explores the relationship between Latinx student representation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and student retention. Results revealed that a 1% increase in cohort-level Latinx student representation in STEM subfields is associated with a decrease in student departures from the university, but not STEM. Furthermore, Latinx STEM students may be more responsive to changes in the representation of their cohorts compared with increases in diversity for upper-division undergraduate or graduate students.

拉丁裔代表对拉丁裔学生在STEM中的保留有影响吗?

利用学生层面的数据，本研究探讨了拉丁裔学生在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域的代表性与学生保留率之间的关系。结果显示，在STEM子领域中，拉丁裔学生人数增加1%，与学生离开大学的人数减少有关，但与STEM无关。此外，与高年级本科生或研究生的多样性增加相比，拉丁裔STEM学生可能对其群体代表性的变化更敏感。
