It examined students whose parents' highest education was: (1) high school diploma, (2) one or two years of college, (3) two-year associate or technical degree, (4) four-year degree, and (5) graduate or professional degree. Other factors that might impinge on student academic achievement are: poverty, socioeconomic status, and family structure/or marital status. The study investigated whether students whose parents attained higher levels of education beyond the high school diploma were more successful academically than students whose parents did not. Eleven factors were used to analyze the relationship between parent educational level, and student academic achievement and performance. The findings of the study indicated that parent educational level, family structure/marital status, and income range have a positive influence on their student's academic potential and achievement. Students whose parents had higher educational levels performed higher on standardized tests than parents with lower educational levels. The results from this research showed that socioeconomic factors weigh heavily on the potential and academic achievement of first-time freshmen at Iowa State University. 1 CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION Summer is ending, and students A and B are recent high school graduates who are preparing to attend the same university. These prospective freshmen may be considered equal as they plan for higher education, but are they? Student A's parents did not attend college. While getting their daughter ready for school they are not sure how or what to pack. They search through the university's admission packet for a list of clothes, toiletries and school supplies. When everything is purchased, the family still feels apprehensive because they have no idea about what to expect in a college environment in terms of academic requirements and the different student support services available to their daughter. They have no previous experience and there is no measure because their child will be the first person in their family to attend college. She will be a first generation college student. On the other hand, student B's parents attended college. Upon acceptance to the university, they buy her a footlocker and pack it with books about study methods, prepaid phone cards, microwave meals, towels and sheets—items they know she will need. They even buy a computer with an e-mail account, a mini refrigerator and microwave. In addition, they open a local checking account in which they can deposit money when she needs it. Their child may have an advantage over the first generation student. 2 This study compared the potential success of these hypothetical students. Does a parent's previous college experience or educational attainment have a correlation to the academic success or grade-point average of their children who attend college? The United States presents many dynamics of family development that take place based on cultural background, environment, and ethnicity, income and parents' educational attainment. Because backgrounds vary to a large degree across families, our nation's educational system—primary, secondary, and post- secondary—faces many unique challenges as it commits to providing equal opportunities to all students regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or origin. These factors will heavily impact a student's educational opportunities. Today, there are approximately 4 million babies bom each year in the United States. One out of eight will be born to a teenage mother, one out of four will be born to a mother with less than a high school diploma, and nearly one out of three will have parents who live in poverty. In addition, one out of four will have an unmarried mother. These factors are linked in one way or another to children who experience

  • The Rhythm of College Life
    The Rhythm of College Life For many students, going to college is filled with ambiguity and doubt. It may be their first time away from home for an extended period. There is powerful tension between their desire for more freedom and autonomy and their need for reassurance and support. Parents, too, have mixed emotions when their children leave home. They often feel a sense of loss accompanied by a sense of freedom. The house seems so quiet. At the same time, the house seems too quiet! Separation Anxiety People are more comfortable with the familiar. Your son or daughter has probably spent several years with the same friends from the same high school. The teachers are familiar, the school campus is familiar, and the town is familiar. College means finding a whole new set of friends, adapting to professors who do not treat them the way their high school teachers did, and navigating a campus where everything is not located in one building. Beginning a new adventure on campus at Tiffin University generates both excitement and anxiety. For students who adapt quickly, any apprehension is quickly overcome. For others, the transition may take a little longer and include some struggle with homesickness. Some students begin to feel anxious several weeks before they even leave home. Others seem OK at first only to find themselves feeling homesick later, perhaps after returning from Christmas break. Most often, though, the first few days or weeks are the most difficult. At TU, we help students feel accepted and secure by creating an environment in which they can function well and meet challenges successfully.
