Objective: Empirical work explaining student mobility, particularly postsecondary pathways among 2-year college students, remains limited. This study examines the underlying process that drives 2-year college students into one or more pathways as they navigate higher education. Method: Drawing upon survey, transcript, and interview data from one transfer-focused and two comprehensive community colleges in a Midwestern state, this study uses a grounded theory approach to develop a conceptual model to understand college students’ decision-making process when choosing among competing postsecondary pathways. Results: The resulting College Pathway (Re)Selection Model Among Beginning 2-Year College Students contained two categories—lifetime decision-making and short-term decision-making—that defined the purposes of students’ decisions as they navigate postsecondary education. Within the categories, 2-year college students described the role of payoff, fit, transferability, place, flexibility, and mobility in their decision-making process. Contributions: This study offers a new model that explains what shapes 2-year college students’ decisions and challenges notions of postsecondary pathways, student progress, success, and completion in the context of 2-year college students’ fluid lives and goals.

然后去哪儿?走向一个2年制大学生的中学后途径选择模型

目标:解释学生流动性的实证工作,特别是 2 年制大学生的高等教育途径,仍然有限。本研究考察了促使 2 年制大学生在接受高等教育时进入一种或多种途径的潜在过程。方法:利用来自中西部州的一所以转学为主的和两所综合性社区学院的调查、成绩单和访谈数据,本研究使用扎根理论方法开发一个概念模型,以了解大学生在选择时的决策过程。竞争性的高等教育途径。结果:由此产生的二年级大学生的大学途径(重新)选择模型包含两个类别——终身决策和短期决策——定义了学生在接受高等教育时做出决定的目的。在这些类别中,2 年制大学生描述了收益、适合性、可转移性、位置、灵活性和流动性在其决策过程中的作用。贡献:本研究提供了一个新模型,该模型解释了在 2 年制大学生流动的生活和目标的背景下,是什么塑造了 2 年制大学生的决定和挑战了高等教育途径、学生进步、成功和完成的概念。以及他们决策过程中的流动性。贡献:本研究提供了一个新模型,该模型解释了在 2 年制大学生流动的生活和目标的背景下,是什么塑造了 2 年制大学生的决定和挑战了高等教育途径、学生进步、成功和完成的概念。以及他们决策过程中的流动性。贡献:本研究提供了一个新模型,该模型解释了在 2 年制大学生流动的生活和目标的背景下,是什么塑造了 2 年制大学生的决定和挑战了高等教育途径、学生进步、成功和完成的概念。
