These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who are...

Surveys

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Migration

Migration

Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.

Case Studies

They represent a significant portion of the future U.S. workforce.
Increasing their educational attainment is a national priority.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore how community colleges can more effectively serve immigrant students.
To identify strategies for increasing immigrant enrollment and performance in community colleges.
To highlight the need for rigorous research on effective programs.

Main Methods:

Analysis of the role of community colleges in postsecondary education for immigrants.
Review of existing outreach and financial aid strategies.
Identification of research gaps in program evaluation.

Main Results:

Community colleges are a key venue for immigrant postsecondary education due to accessibility and affordability.
Current outreach and financial aid systems can be improved to attract more immigrant students.
There is a lack of rigorous research on the effectiveness of programs designed for immigrant students.

Conclusions:

Community colleges are well-positioned to meet the educational needs of immigrants.
Targeted outreach, financial aid reforms (including for English as a Second Language), and scholarships can enhance immigrant access and success.
Collaborative efforts between researchers and community colleges are crucial for evidence-based policy and program development.
