背景家庭中第一个进入大学的学生是本科生工程课程的组成部分。越来越多的研究认为，如果教育者了解他们为高等教育带来的独特背景、经历和知识，他们可以更好地支持这些学生。目的/假设本文的目的是双重的。首先，我们确定了一组第一代大学生在他们的教育和工作经验中使用的显著知识资金。其次，我们使用参与者经验中确定的知识基金来创建调查工具。设计/方法采用混合方法方法。本研究利用6名第一代大学生的人种志访谈数据进行结构假设和问卷设计。调查数据来自812名学生。使用探索性和验证性因素分析来验证调查项目和假设结构之间的基本理论结构。结果有效性证据支持10因素模型，而不是假设的6因素模型。构成知识工具资金的10个潜在结构是：修修补补来自家庭的知识、来自工作的修修补补的知识、联系经验、来自家庭成员的网络、来自大学朋友的网络、来自同事的网络、来自邻居朋友的网络、采取观点、阅读他人和中介能力。结论重新认识第一代大学生的知识资金是创造更好地服务于他们的课程空间和体验的第一步。调查量表使教育工作者能够经验性地检验这些积累的知识是如何传递给资本的，在工程方面创造优势，并提供一个有用的工具，在课堂上连接学生的知识。
BackgroundStudents who are the first in their families to attend college are an integral part of undergraduate engineering programs. Growing bodies of research argue that educators could better support these students if they understood the unique backgrounds, experiences, and knowledge they bring with them to higher education.Purpose/HypothesisThe purpose of this article is twofold. First, we identify salient funds of knowledge used by a group of first‐generation college students in their educational and work‐related experiences. Secondly, we use the funds of knowledge identified in our participants' experiences to create a survey instrument.Design/MethodA mixed methods approach was used. Ethnographic interview data of six first‐generation college students were used to hypothesize constructs and create survey items. Survey data were collected from 812 students. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to verify the underlying theoretical structures among the survey items and hypothesized constructs.ResultsValidity evidence supported a 10‐factor model as opposed to the hypothesized 6‐factor model. The 10 latent constructs that make up the funds of knowledge instrument are as follows: tinkering knowledge from home, tinkering knowledge from work, connecting experiences, networks from family members, networks from college friends, networks from coworkers, networks from neighborhood friends, perspective taking, reading people, and mediating ability.ConclusionsRecognizing first‐generation college students' funds of knowledge is a first step to creating curricular spaces and experiences that better serve them. A survey scale allows educators to empirically examine how these accumulated bodies of knowledge are transmitted to capital, create advantages in engineering, and provides a useful tool to bridge students' knowledge in the classroom.
