{"title":"Employment and the Structure of Colleges as Barriers to College Match and Degree Completion for Latinx First-Generation College Students","authors":"Laura Nichols, Maria Valle","doi":"10.1080/15348431.2023.2274856","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15348431.2023.2274856","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTUndermatching, or students attending less selective colleges than they are academically qualified to attend, is seen as a contributing factor to the lagging college completion rate of low-income and first-generation college students. Addressing the mismatch has been mainly limited to the individual level. Through analysis of interview and longitudinal school administrative data with aspiring first-generation college low-income Latinx youth who started preparing to attend college in middle school, we find that the need to work, which students started doing in high school, was a major factor in students’ undermatching. We show how employment collides with the structure of colleges as racialized organizations (Ray, 2019), especially matching colleges with high graduation rates. Selective colleges did not provide the support students needed to address their financial situations, and students attending schools to which they undermatched required more assistance navigating work and schools to stop them from dropping out. We also discuss program and policy solutions to address the low college completion rates of Latinx first-generation college students more fully as well as how to better support their need to work.KEYWORDS: First-generation collegecollege matchcollege completionemploymentLatinxLatino/aracialized organizationsworking students AcknowledgmentsThank you to those who participated in this study as interviewees and staff at the middle school who helped us reach out to school alumni.

Hispanic students valued building professional relationships with faculty and mentors more than non-Hispanic students while non-Hispanic students valued opportunities to discuss race relations outside the classroom. Belonging at the graduate level in health professional programs is distinct from undergraduate programs because of new expectations of developing into entry level clinicians. This study showed that Hispanic students significantly valued building connections with mentors, faculty and staff, identifying a need of continued supportive mentoring relationships within this population at the graduate level. Implications of these findings across the available literature are discussed.KEYWORDS: BelongingHispanic graduate studentsengagementprofessional relationships AcknowledgmentsWe would like to acknowledge the following DPT students who served as cofacilitators during the Cardinal Cafe event, Tara M.

We focus on the use of Spanish as a heritage language among the children while they learn English in an English-majority environment. Data was collected in English and Spanish four times over the first two years of formal schooling. The study focuses on oral language production in Spanish and English using several language-eliciting tasks including vocabulary identification and picture storytelling. Results demonstrated improvement in English oral fluency, vocabulary, and grammatical complexity over the two-year period, as expected. Most of the children maintained roughly the same scores on Spanish vocabulary identification and oral fluency over the same timeframe. The study shows that retention of the first language (L1) is achievable even by children living in English-majority neighborhoods.KEYWORDS: Early ChildhoodDual LanguageHeritage LanguageEnglish language learnersLatino/a children and familiesSpanish-English contact AcknowledgmentsAcknowledgments: We would like to thank the participants in the study, as well as their parents and teachers.

The number of Latinas pursuing a post-secondary degree is growing exponentially, and the difference between their enrollment and degree attainment numbers is staggering.

The methodology is qualitative, 18 people were interviewed including Mapuche wise men and women, fathers, and mothers who experienced schooling processes in their younger years. The information analysis technique is content analysis, to identify explicit and latent meanings related to the schools they attended and the Chilean education system. Mapuche wise people and parents were consulted on the pedagogical practices of dispossession of ancestral knowledge that have been institutionalized. Main results show that schools have transmitted a Western Eurocentric-based knowledge which results in the dispossession of their own episteme and in their transformation into ordinary Chilean citizens who are unaware of their language and culture as a central axis of their sociocultural identity. Main conclusions account for the historical processes of schooling in an indigenous context, highlighting the consequences that this monocultural education has brought to families, communities, and new generations of indigenous. This poses the challenge of transforming the school curriculum, to transmit their truth, to advance in justice, reparation, and to ensure the non-repetition of the epistemicide of indigenous knowledge in the school.KEYWORDS: Dispossessionindigenous knowledgeschool educationepistemicide AcknowledgmentsAcknowledgments to the project FONDECYT INICIACION N° 11200306 financed by the National Research and Development Agency of Chile (ANID)Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Agencia Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo de Chile (ANID) under Grant [N°11200306].","PeriodicalId":16280,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latinos and Education","volume":"175 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135325773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research uses conventional and extended Cox survival models to analyze the factors behind dropout rates at a co-financed higher education institution (HEI) in Ecuador. The latter allows us to model specific components, such as time-dependent and independent variables, and unobserved heterogeneity. The results show that certain student-related, family-related, or background characteristics are relevant for the ecuadorian context. However, the most influential factors affecting the dropout risk are institutional and academic. These findings provide valuable insights into the actions and policies that HEI can implement to mitigate dropout rates through internal measures that public policies can complement.","PeriodicalId":16280,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latinos and Education","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135461514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author contends this integration strategy inadvertently perpetuates racist ideologies about racialized youths’ bilingualism, White mainstream English’s superiority, and majority-Latinx bilingual education.
