Objective: The purpose of this study is twofold. First, this study explores individual student characteristics, specifically those related to demographics, financial need, academic characteristics, and social and cultural capitals, related to study abroad participation among community college students. Second, this study identifies when over the course of their studies community college students are most likely to participate in study abroad. Method: Data consist of student records provided by a large community college located in the U.S. Southeast. An event history model was used to estimate the relationship between both time-variant and time-invariant student-level indicators and study abroad participation. Smoothed hazard estimates were extracted from this model to explore the likelihood of study abroad participation over time. Results: Findings indicate that race/ethnicity, gender, state-residency status, age, need-based aid eligibility, field of study, and enrollment status (full- or part-time) significantly predicted study abroad participation. These results at times stand in contrast with findings from the literature on study abroad participation among students in the 4-year sector. Smoothed hazard estimates indicated that community college students were more likely to study abroad the longer they were enrolled at the community college. Contributions: These results speak to ways in which community college students access capital resources to promote participation in study abroad and highlight unique aspects of community college study abroad programming. Results also provide a foundation for recommendations for practice that would serve to open access to education abroad at community colleges.

社区大学出国学习:事件历史分析

目的:本研究的目的是双重的。首先,本研究探讨了个别学生的特征,特别是那些与人口,财务需求,学术特征以及社会和文化资本有关的特征,这些特征与社区大学生的出国学习参与有关。其次,本研究确定了社区大学生在学习过程中最有可能参加出国留学的时间。方法:数据包括位于美国东南部的一所大型社区大学提供的学生记录。使用事件历史模型来估计随时间变化和随时间变化的学生水平指标之间的关系,以及出国留学的情况。从该模型中提取了平滑的危害估计值,以探索随时间推移出国研究的可能性。结果:研究结果表明,种族/民族,性​​别,国家在留资格,年龄,基于需求的援助资格,研究领域和入学状况(全日制或非全日制)可以显着预测出国留学的人数。这些结果有时与4年制学生出国留学参与的文献发现相反。平滑的危险估计表明,社区大学的学生在社区大学就读的时间越长,他们出国学习的可能性就越大。贡献:这些结果说明了社区大学生获取资本资源以促进参与海外留学的方式,并突出了社区大学留学计划的独特方面。结果还为实践建议提供了基础,这些实践将有助于社区大学在国外接受教育。
