Schuetz, Pamela Gail.

Influences of campus environment on adult community college student engagement. - 240 p.

Adviser: Arthur M. Cohen.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Los Angeles, 2007.

This mixed methods study develops and tests a new conceptual model describing engagement processes of adult community college students. Behind this study is an attempt to highlight the complex range of everyday interactions that adult students---especially those just beginning their college careers---must negotiate in order to achieve their goals. Exploring these experiences from students' point of view, this study offers a conceptual model that community college administrators, faculty and staff might use to enhance early engagement and success of students carrying adult responsibilities of work and/or family.

520 $a This mixed methods study develops and tests a new conceptual model describing engagement processes of adult community college students. Behind this study is an attempt to highlight the complex range of everyday interactions that adult students---especially those just beginning their college careers---must negotiate in order to achieve their goals. Exploring these experiences from students' point of view, this study offers a conceptual model that community college administrators, faculty and staff might use to enhance early engagement and success of students carrying adult responsibilities of work and/or family.
520 $a This study of students' campus experiences and engagement is executed in three overlapping phases: (1) collecting interview and participant observation data from 30 adult students who are attending a large community college that reports higher than average rates of retention; (2) conducting iterative searches of interdisciplinary literature to identify a conceptual model - in this case, self-determination theory (Deci and Ryan, 1985, 2000) - as a good conceptual fit with the qualitative data collected; and (3) testing the quantitative fit between the newly proposed conceptual model and existing Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) data. This fit was found to be good not only for adult but also nonadult students.
520 $a This study proposes a new functional definition of an adult student as at least 18 years of age, working at least 25 hours per week and/or raising a child or children while enrolled. This definition acknowledges that simple chronological definitions can no longer discriminate reliably between a 19 year-old student who is a single parent and/or full-time employee and a 28 year-old living with and financially supported by parents. By this new definition, adults are the modal community college student as well as a fast growing, diverse and understudied subpopulation. Ideally, this study will stimulate dialogue about engagement, empower alliances to reduce attrition, and evolve more democratic research practices that foster greater access to education and opportunity.
