摘要：STEM专业提供了通往利润丰厚的职业的途径，但对于第一代学生来说往往是难以企及的。使用来自教育纵向研究的数据，我们进行了描述性统计、回归分析和组比较，以检查第一代学生和继续一代学生在STEM学位、非STEM学位、辍学和未完成学位之间的差异。研究结果表明，一代地位与STEM的完成程度有关，但其他因素也推动了这种联系；例如，大学预科的STEM因素具有显著的预测能力。我们的研究结果表明，有必要进一步研究大学预科和STEM的转学途径，并探索第一代身份作为分类的局限性。
Abstract:STEM majors offer pathways to lucrative careers but are often inaccessible to first-generation students. Using data from the Education Longitudinal Study, we conducted descriptive statistics, regression analyses, and group comparisons to examine differences between first-generation students and continuing-generation students across STEM degree, non-STEM degree, dropout, and no degree completion. Findings illuminate that generation status is related to STEM completion, but other factors are driving this association; for example, pre-college STEM factors have significant predictive power. Our implications suggest a need to further examine pre-college and transfer pathways to STEM and to explore the limitations of first-generation status as a categorization.
