Abstract

Increasing the number of young people who attain postsecondary credentials has become one of the primary educational objectives of the 2010s. While low college success rates are typically linked to students’ lack of academic preparation for college and their subsequent need for developmental or remedial instruction, research suggests that even many students who are deemed “college-ready” by virtue of their placement test scores or completion of developmental coursework still do not earn a credential. This paper builds on previous work arguing that community college success is dependent not only upon academic preparation but also upon a host of important skills, attitudes, and behaviors that are often left unspoken. Drawing on role theory and on a qualitative study conducted at three community colleges, this paper aims to clarify the role of community college student and the components of that role that must be enacted for students to be successful. Using data from interviews at the study sites, we provide a concrete, actionable description of the community college student role. We also present a framework that practitioners can use to help students learn how to be successful community college students.

“他们从不告诉我该期待什么,所以我不知道该做什么”:定义和澄清社区大学生的角色
增加获得高等教育证书的年轻人数量已成为2010年代的主要教育目标之一。这篇论文建立在以前的工作基础上,认为社区大学的成功不仅取决于学术准备,还取决于许多重要的技能、态度和行为,而这些往往是不言而喻的。利用角色理论和在三所社区学院进行的定性研究,本文旨在阐明社区大学生的角色以及学生成功所必须扮演的角色的组成部分。使用来自研究地点的访谈数据,我们提供了一个具体的、可操作的社区大学生角色描述。我们还提出了一个框架,从业者可以使用它来帮助学生学习如何成为成功的社区大学生。
