Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study is twofold. First, this study explores individual student characteristics, specifically those related to demographics, financial need, academic characteristics, and social and cultural capitals, related to study abroad participation among community college students. Second, this study identifies when over the course of their studies community college students are most likely to participate in study abroad. Method: Data consist of student records provided by a large community college located in the U.S. Southeast. An event history model was used to estimate the relationship between both time-variant and time-invariant student-level indicators and study abroad participation. Smoothed hazard estimates were extracted from this model to explore the likelihood of study abroad participation over time. Results: Findings indicate that race/ethnicity, gender, state-residency status, age, need-based aid eligibility, field of study, and enrollment status (full- or part-time) significantly predicted study abroad participation. These results at times stand in contrast with findings from the literature on study abroad participation among students in the 4-year sector. Smoothed hazard estimates indicated that community college students were more likely to study abroad the longer they were enrolled at the community college. Contributions: These results speak to ways in which community college students access capital resources to promote participation in study abroad and highlight unique aspects of community college study abroad programming. Results also provide a foundation for recommendations for practice that would serve to open access to education abroad at community colleges.
社区大学海外留学:事件历史分析
目的:本研究有双重目的。首先,本研究探讨了与社区大学生出国留学参与相关的学生个体特征,特别是与人口统计学、经济需求、学术特征和社会文化资本相关的特征。其次,本研究确定了社区大学生在学习过程中最有可能参加海外学习的时间。方法:数据由位于美国东南部的一所大型社区学院提供的学生记录组成。采用事件历史模型估计时变和时不变学生水平指标与出国留学参与的关系。从该模型中提取平滑的风险估计,以探索随时间推移出国留学参与的可能性。结果:研究结果表明,种族/民族、性别、州居住状态、年龄、基于需求的援助资格、学习领域和注册状态(全职或兼职)显著地预测了出国留学的参与情况。这些结果有时与文献中关于四年制学生出国留学参与情况的研究结果形成鲜明对比。平滑的风险估计表明,社区大学学生在社区大学注册的时间越长,他们出国留学的可能性越大。贡献:这些结果说明了社区大学生获得资本资源以促进参与海外留学的方式,并突出了社区大学海外留学项目的独特方面。结果还为实践建议提供了基础,这些建议将有助于开放社区大学的海外教育机会。

期刊介绍: The Community College Review (CCR) has led the nation for over 35 years in the publication of scholarly, peer-reviewed research and commentary on community colleges. CCR welcomes manuscripts dealing with all aspects of community college administration, education, and policy, both within the American higher education system as well as within the higher education systems of other countries that have similar tertiary institutions. All submitted manuscripts undergo a blind review. When manuscripts are not accepted for publication, we offer suggestions for how they might be revised. The ultimate intent is to further discourse about community colleges, their students, and the educators and administrators who work within these institutions.
