第一代大学生(FGC)是指父母没有获得学士学位的学生,他们在学业上遇到了明显的障碍。残疾儿童面临的障碍,包括缺乏经济保障、较低的归属感和不充分的指导,往往因其他边缘化身份的交叉而变得更加复杂。因此,改善多样性、公平性和包容性的努力可以而且应该包括女性功能组别。为了更好地支持FGCS,我们首先必须充分了解他们是谁,他们在哪里攻读学位,他们选择学习什么,以及他们在地球科学中的代表性。我们使用超过40年的 数据来探索美国机构中FGC的人口统计和研究领域。我们观察到,自20世纪90年代S开始收集数据以来,本科生中FGC的数量一直超过非FGC。在博士层面,我们提供的1974-2016年的数据显示,尽管自1990年代S以来,非FGC的数量一直超过FGC,但大多数有色人种博士毕业生仍然是FGCS。我们的数据还显示,2016年,在所有领域获得学士学位的本科生中,超过61%的人是FGCS,54%的物理本科生是FGCS,而地球科学领域的本科生中只有25%是FGCS。在所分析的各个领域中,地球科学在本科生和博士生水平上的FGCS比例最低。这就回避了一个问题,为什么FGCS在地球科学中又是一个明显代表性不足的群体?在这里,我们开始解决这个问题,并为如何减少将FGCS纳入地球科学的障碍提供指导。
First-generation college students (FGCS), defined as students whose parents did not earn a baccalaureate degree, encounter distinct obstacles navigating academia. Barriers faced by FGCS, including lack of financial security, lower sense of belonging, and inadequate mentorship, are often compounded by the intersection of other marginalized identities. As such, efforts to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion can and should include FGCS. To better support FGCS, first we must fully understand who they are, where they are pursuing degrees, what they choose to study, and their representation in the geosciences. We use over 40 years of data to explore the demographics and field of study of FGCS in U.S. institutions. We observe that FCGS have outnumbered non-FCGS at the undergraduate level since data collection began in the 1990’s. At the doctoral level we present data from 1974-2016 that show that although non-FGCS have outnumbered FGCS since the 1990’s, most doctoral graduates of color continue to be FGCS. Our data also show that in 2016 over 61% of all undergraduates receiving a bachelor’s degree across all fields were FGCS, 54% of physical science undergraduates were FGCS, and yet only 25% of those in the geosciences were FGCS. Out of the various fields analyzed, the geosciences have the lowest percentage of FGCS at the undergraduateanddoctoral level. This begs the question, why are FGCS yet another markedly underrepresented group in the geosciences? Here we begin to address this question and provide guidance for how to reduce barriers to FGCS inclusion in the geosciences.
