Emerging Adulthood

1.1K
Jeffrey Arnett's concept of emerging adulthood offers a framework to understand the unique developmental stage between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, generally from ages 18 to 25. This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during...

Reliability and Validity

14.4K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Cross-Sectional Research

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

57.0K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

    Summary

    Many high school students lack college readiness due to curriculum gaps and socioeconomic disparities. Improving college transitions requires systemic changes, targeted support, and effective implementation of standards like Common Core.

    Area of Science:

    • Education Policy
    • Sociology of Education
    • Educational Psychology

    Background:

    • A significant number of high school students aspire to postsecondary education but enter college unprepared.
    • Discrepancies exist between high school curricula and college expectations, alongside disparities in instruction quality based on student socioeconomic status.
    • Non-academic factors like peer influence, parental expectations, and study habits significantly impact college readiness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the current state of college readiness among high school students.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of existing programs designed to aid the transition from high school to college.
    • To identify strategies for improving college readiness and postsecondary success.

  • Review of existing literature on college readiness and transition programs.
  • Analysis of various interventions, including academic preparation, informational support, psychosocial/behavioral services, and habit development.
  • Examination of systemic programs like Middle College High Schools and dual enrollment initiatives.

    • Main Results:

    • Precollege support programs generally demonstrate small impacts on college readiness.
    • Systemic programs yield mixed results, with dual enrollment showing promise but potential overstatement in evaluations.
    • The Common Core State Standards offer potential for improving readiness but require professional development and focus on noncognitive skills for full realization.

    Conclusions:

    • Addressing college readiness gaps necessitates a multifaceted approach, including curriculum alignment and equitable instruction.
    • Effective interventions must integrate academic, noncognitive, and informational support systems.
    • Successful implementation of standards like Common Core depends on robust educator training and comprehensive student support for postsecondary planning.
