Examining enrolment decisions and life challenges of adult learners in advanced technologies programs
The majority of students in the United States completing advanced technologies coursework, certifications, and AS/AAS degree programs within two-year colleges are adults with complex lives. They have to balance an array of challenges including health, children, and work. These school-work-life challenges can be informed by a body of knowledge related to adult decision-making patterns. Based on a national study of students in advanced technologies…
Importance of Grades and Placement for Math Attainment
Research on high school math course taking documents the advantages of starting high school at or beyond Algebra 1. Fewer studies examine differentiation into remedial, general, and honors Algebra 1 course types by course rigor. This study examines how course grades and course rigor are associated with math attainment among students with similar eighth-grade standardized math test scores. Students who earned an A in remedial courses had lower att…
Race/Ethnicity and Friendship
Race and ethnicity are important factors in friendship formation. People tend to form friendships with others who live near them and who occupy similar social positions, belong to the same organizations, and are like themselves in terms of attitudes, values, and behaviors. Race and ethnicity are often cues of these similarities; therefore, race and ethnicity structure friendship formation. People are likely to associate with others of their own r…

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Pathways
This article examines how high school science and mathematics course-taking creates pathways toward future baccalaureate degree attainment in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors in Florida 4-year universities using Burkam and Lee's (2003) Burkam, D. T. and Lee, V. E. 2003. Mathematics, foreign language, and science coursetaking and the NELS:88 transcript data (NCES 2003-01)., Washington, DC: U.S. Department of Educatio…
