摘要

目的:本研究调查了美国西南部一所社区大学的教科书成本和学生成功率。方法:采用描述性统计方法，确定五个学期的平均教科书成本和学生成功率。使用卡方独立性检验来确定教科书成本与基于低水平或高水平课程的学生成功率之间是否存在统计学上显著的关系。结果:卡方独立性检验发现，教科书成本与学生在低年级和高年级课程的成功率之间存在显著的统计学关系。贡献:研究表明，由于成本原因，大学生通常不选择购买商业教科书，从而导致更高的D, F和W费率。这项研究的结果支持了最近许多关于教科书成本和学生成功影响的研究。

High-Priced Textbooks’ Impact on Community College Student Success

Objective: This research study examined textbook costs and student success rates at one community college in the Southwest United States. Method: Descriptive statistics were used in the study to identify the mean textbook costs and student success rates over five semesters. Chi-square tests for independence were used to determine if a statistically significant relationship exists between textbook costs and student success rates based on course level of lower or upper-level courses. Results: The chi-square tests of independence found a statistically significant relationship between textbook costs and student success rates in lower and upper-level courses. Contributions: Research shows college students often opt not to purchase commercial textbooks due to costs, thus resulting in higher D, F, and W rates. The results of this study support numerous recent research studies on the impact of textbook costs and student success.

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.
