摘要

社区学院的高年级学生与年轻学生在毕业动力的培养上是否有所不同?社区大学三分之一的学生年龄在 25 岁或以上,这些学生的毕业率往往低于年轻学生。然而,我们对影响大学毕业的因素在不同年龄段的社区学院学生中的差异却知之甚少。通过使用多层次统计模型分析俄亥俄州社区学院的数据,我们研究了早期学习动力与获得中学后学历的可能性之间的关系如何因年龄而异。鉴于之前有证据表明成年男性和女性在教育经历和结果方面存在差异,我们按性别对结果进行了分类。衡量发展势头的指标都是在社区大学的第一年观察到的,包括获得的学分、学分成功率、入学连续性、通过大学水平的数学考试和通过大学水平的英语考试。大学毕业结果的观察期为六年,包括获得中学后证书、获得社区学院的副学士学位以及获得四年制院校的学士学位。我们发现,高年级学生和低年级学生在获得中学后学历证书的过程中存在一些差异和相似之处,而且这些模式对男性和女性而言也有所不同,这揭示了加强高年级学生学习成果的良机。

Less is more, or is it? Age and Gender Differences in How Students Build Momentum toward College Graduation

Do older community college students build momentum toward graduation differently than their younger peers? One-third of students in community colleges are 25 years of age or older, and these students tend to have lower rates of graduation than their younger peers. Yet, we know little about how the factors that influence college graduation differ across the wide range of ages found among community college students. Using multilevel statistical models to analyze data for Ohio’s community colleges, we investigate how the relationships between early academic momentum and the likelihood of completing a postsecondary credential vary by age. We disaggregate results by gender in light of prior evidence of differences in the educational experiences and outcomes of adult men and women. The measures of momentum, all observed in the first year in community college, include credits earned, credit success rate, enrollment continuity, passing college-level math, and passing college-level English. The college graduation outcomes, observed over six years, include earning a postsecondary certificate, earning an associate degree from a community college, and earning a baccalaureate degree from a four-year institution. We find some differences and some similarities in how older and younger students build momentum toward a postsecondary credential, and how these patterns differ for men and women, revealing fruitful opportunities to strengthen the outcomes of older students.

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.
