项目摘要

We know that there are enduring differences in the rates of educational attainment across different social groups. Because some social groups in the United States have higher levels of college educated adults than others, these adults become an educational and social resource for working-class background youth from these same groups, who subsequently complete more years of schooling than they would otherwise. Thus initial differences in educational attainment are duplicated over time, thus posing challenges to some striving for upward mobility. This project will advance how this process of resource activation unfolds across different social groups. Moreover, the present study will examine whether these resources can be shared beyond the originating social communities to support academic achievement among peers of other social groups through youths? friendship networks. The study will identify conditions under which high-school level social resources from some groups not only serve to enhance emerging educational mobility strategies of in-group members, but also advance the social opportunity of working-class students from other social groups through peer networks. Findings will provide guidance for K-12 schools as they strive to encourage higher rates of enrollment in higher education and as well as achievement of post-secondary education among many social groups who are enrolled. This project analyzes observational and interview data from 120 high-school aged children of several social groups that vary in terms of average adult educational attainment and in terms of social resources. The project will interview respondents using a questionnaire and semi-structured interview guide that collect demographic information, college preparation strategies, and access to various forms and origins of social resources. This project will also incorporate similar data from an existing sample of 45 parents and young adults whose help may be useful to high school students striving for upward mobility. The project will use MaxQDA, which is a qualitative data analysis software that facilitates first and second cycle data coding, to manage, store and analyze all data gathered for this project. The project will also conduct participant observation in several high school settings, including campus sporting events, student free time and during parent-teacher-student organization meetings, to contextualize data produced via questionnaires and interviews. By understanding what facilitates positive cross-group relationships of adolescents, the study will inform sociological theories regarding social mobility, educational access and inter-group relations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

我们知道，在不同的社会群体中，受教育程度的比率存在着持久的差异。由于美国的一些社会群体中受过大学教育的成年人的水平高于其他群体，这些成年人成为来自这些群体的工人阶级背景青年的教育和社会资源，他们随后完成了比其他人更多的学校教育。因此，随着时间的推移，教育程度的最初差异会重复出现，从而对一些努力向上流动的人构成挑战。该项目将推进资源激活过程如何在不同的社会群体中展开。此外，本研究将探讨这些资源是否可以分享到原来的社会社区以外，以支持其他社会群体的同龄人通过青年的学术成就？友谊网络。这项研究将确定条件下，高中水平的社会资源，从一些群体不仅有助于加强新兴的教育流动战略的组内成员，但也提前社会机会的工人阶级学生从其他社会群体通过同侪网络。调查结果将为K-12学校提供指导，因为他们努力鼓励更高的高等教育入学率，以及在许多入学的社会群体中实现中学后教育。该项目分析了120名高中适龄儿童的观察和访谈数据，这些儿童来自不同的社会群体，他们的平均成人教育程度和社会资源各不相同。该项目将使用问卷和半结构化的采访指南，收集人口统计信息，大学准备策略，以及获得各种形式和社会资源的来源采访受访者。该项目还将纳入现有45名家长和年轻人的类似数据，这些数据可能对努力向上流动的高中生有用。该项目将使用MaxQDA，这是一种定性数据分析软件，有助于第一和第二周期数据编码，以管理，存储和分析为本项目收集的所有数据。该项目还将在几所高中的环境中进行参与性观察，包括校园体育赛事、学生空闲时间和家长-教师-学生组织会议期间，以便将通过问卷调查和访谈产生的数据结合起来。通过了解是什么促进了青少年积极的跨群体关系，该研究将为社会学理论提供关于社会流动性，教育机会和群体间关系的信息。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
