摘要

相对于亚裔和白人同龄人,黑人/非裔美国人和拉美裔/西班牙裔社区大学学生的四年转学率长期存在差异,这就提出了美国高等教育体系中纵向转学功能的重要公平问题。利用美国最大、种族和民族最多元化的社区大学系统的数据,我们研究了早期学业发展势头(如第一年累积 GPA、暑期入学、第一年尝试和获得的学分数)的差异是否是不同种族和民族群体之间转学结果差距的根本原因。多组结构方程建模(SEM)结果显示,社区学院学生的早期学习动力与纵向转学成功率之间存在密切关系。然而,结果表明,学术动力并不是以同样的方式作用于所有种族和族裔群体,有些指标对于改善黑人/非洲裔美国人和拉美裔/西班牙裔学生的转学结果尤为重要。这些结果对社区学院有关纵向转学结果的研究和实践具有重要意义。

How First-Year Academic Momentum Influences Transfer Outcomes Among Different Racial and Ethnic Groups

How First-Year Academic Momentum Influences Transfer Outcomes Among Different Racial and Ethnic Groups

Longstanding disparities in four-year transfer rates for Black/African American and Latinx/Hispanic community college students, relative to their Asian and white peers, raise important equity questions about the vertical transfer function in the U.S. higher education system. Using data from one of the nation’s largest and most racially and ethnically diverse community college systems, we examined whether differences in early academic momentum (e.g., first-year cumulative GPA, summer enrollment, number of first-year credits attempted and earned) were a root cause of gaps in transfer outcomes between different racial and ethnic groups. Multi-group structural equation modeling (SEM) results revealed a strong relationship between early academic momentum and vertical transfer success for community college students. However, the results showed academic momentum did not operate in the same manner for all racial and ethnic groups and some indicators were particularly important for improving transfer outcomes for Black/African American and Latinx/Hispanic students. These results have important implications for community college research and practice pertinent to vertical transfer outcomes.

期刊介绍: Research in Higher Education publishes studies that examine issues pertaining to postsecondary education. The journal is open to studies using a wide range of methods, but has particular interest in studies that apply advanced quantitative research methods to issues in postsecondary education or address postsecondary education policy issues. Among the topics of interest to the journal are: access and retention; student success; equity; faculty issues; institutional productivity and assessment; postsecondary education governance; curriculum and instruction; state and federal higher education policy; and financing of postsecondary education. The journal encourages submissions from scholars in disciplines outside of higher education, and studies from outside the United States that address issues that are of interest to the readership. The journal will on occasion publish short notes of a methodological nature, literature reviews of topics pertaining to postsecondary research, and “research and practice” studies illustrating how postsecondary research can inform decision making.
