1 First Generation College Students: What to Expect How to Help Regina Bobak- Academic Enrichment (SSC 026) Beth Rogowsky-Teaching and Learning (MCHS 2213)
2 Two BU faculty members, who were both first generation college students themselves, will take their learnings from a recent Lilly conference as well as their own personal experiences and present one contributing factor to 1st generation college students reported lower levels of engagement and academic success in college limited interaction with faculty members. They will examine 1 st generation faculty-student interactions and the correlation with academic success. Strategies will be discussed to increase interaction and hopefully increase 1st generation students' success in college.
3 Office Hours Why do students come to office hours? Why do we want them to come to office hours? What do we want students to get out of office hours? What kinds of students are most likely to come to office hours? What kinds of students do we want to come to office hours?
4
5 Terminology First-generation college student (FGS): A student whose parents do not have a four-year college degree Or a student whose parents never attended college. Faculty-student interaction: Office hours, answering or asking questions in class, informal out-of-class interaction, contact, conversations after class
6 Correlations Faculty-student interaction is directly correlated with greater academic, intellectual and personal success in college (Soria & Stebleton, 2012; Lamport, 1993; Kuh & Hu, 2001; Astin, 1984; Kim and Sax, 2009; Lundberg and Schreiner, 2004). First-generation college students have significantly lower levels of faculty-student interaction (Engle & Tinto, 2008; Kim & Sax, 2009; Soria & Stebleton, 2012).
7 FGS Demographics Compared to their non-fgs peers, FGS are: Lower-income (Terenzini et al., 1996; Ishitani, 2006; Nuñez & Cucaro-Alamin, 1998); More likely to be minority (Terenzini et al., 1996; Choy, 2001; Bui, 2005); More likely to live at home (Saenz et al., 2007); More likely to work full-time or have multiple part-time jobs (Engle & Tinto, 2008; Pascarella et al., 2008; Saenz et al., 2007); Not as academically prepared for college (Choy, 2011; Davis, 2010; Engle & Tinto, 2008; Pascarella et al., 2004; Terenzini et al., 1996); Less likely to know their major (Davis, 2010); More inclined to pick a major that they or parents view as practical (Snell, 2008); Lower-scoring on critical thinking and self-efficacy assessments (Arum & Roksa, 2011).
8 Academic Experience Compared to their non-fgs peers, FGS are: Less likely to enroll in college (Choy, 2001); Less likely to complete a degree (Engle & Tinto, 2008); Less engaged in college socially, intellectually and academically (Arum & Roksa, 2011; Davis, 2010; Engle & Tinto, 2008; Pascarella, 2004; Terenzini, Springer, Yaeger, Pascarella & Nora, 1996); Less likely to interact with faculty, formally or informally, in class or out of class (Engle & Tinto, 2008; Kim & Sax, 2009; Soria & Stebleton, 2012); Less successful in college, measured by GPA and graduation rate (Engle & Tinto, 2008; Terenzini et al., 1996; Choy, 2001; Engle & Tinto, 2008; and Pascarella et al., 2004).
9 Parental Education Level (FGS status) and Informal Interactions with Faculty Beginning Postsecondary Students (BPS: 04/09) longitudinal study from NCES
10 Parental Education Level (FGS status) and Office Hours Beginning Postsecondary Students (BPS: 04/09) longitudinal study from NCES
11 Similarities between FGS and Non-FGS: Desire and intention to meet expectations; Respect for professors; Reasons for participating in class or seeking out professors. learn, share opinions, understand assignments, receive rec letters All more likely to participate if they are interested in subject, prepared for class, comfortable among peers, sense that the professor welcomes opinions (Hutchison, 2015)
12 Differences between FGS and non-fgs: Viewed professors differently; FGS more motivated to be active in class by participation grade; Non-FGS based perceptions on parents modeling, attitudes, advice, while FGS based perceptions on outside models, were more likely to have gotten abstract advice (reaching goals, succeeding in life); After intensive small-class experience, non-fgs do not report significant changes, while FGS report significant changes. (Hutchison, 2015)
