Abstract

ABSTRACT Peer mentoring and associated programs have gained prominence due to demonstrated positive effects on student retention and matriculation, but scant research exists on voluntary peer academic coaching as part of a peer mentoring program. This study was conducted for two purposes: to describe the demographics of students who register to participate in a peer mentoring program and to explore the primary goal(s) that participants hoped to accomplish through their academic coaching experience. Findings revealed high numbers of first-generation college student participants and international student participants, and themes derived from a content analysis revealed student goals in the areas of academic skills, academic goals, degree plan and progress, and overcoming barriers to success. Recommendations for future research and practice are articulated.

学生参与同伴学术辅导的期望

由于对学生留校和入学的积极影响，同伴指导和相关项目已经获得了突出的地位，但很少有研究将自愿的同伴学术指导作为同伴指导计划的一部分。本研究进行有两个目的:描述注册参加同伴指导计划的学生的人口统计数据，并探索参与者希望通过他们的学术指导经历实现的主要目标。调查结果显示，参与调查的第一代大学生和国际学生人数众多，从内容分析中得出的主题揭示了学生在学术技能、学术目标、学位计划和进步以及克服成功障碍方面的目标。对未来的研究和实践提出了建议。

期刊介绍： The Journal of College Reading and Learning (JCRL) invites authors to submit their scholarly research for publication. JCRL is an international forum for the publication of high-quality articles on theory, research, and policy related to areas of developmental education, postsecondary literacy instruction, and learning assistance at the postsecondary level. JCRL is published triannually in the spring, summer, and fall for the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA). In addition to publishing investigations of the reading, writing, thinking, and studying of college learners, JCRL seeks manuscripts with a college focus on the following topics: effective teaching for struggling learners, learning through new technologies and texts, learning support for culturally and linguistically diverse student populations, and program evaluations of developmental and learning assistance instructional models.
