Özet:
Mixed methods were used to investigate the needs of single parent students in a community college setting in California. The students in this study were part of a program that supported single parents who received government benefits, worked at least twenty hours each week, were enrolled full-time, and had at least one child under the age of fourteen. Thirty-eight students were surveyed, half of the population in the program, and six were interviewed in an effort to gain additional, in-depth insight from survey data. Given the small sample size, discoveries should be limited to this population at the current time and additional research is recommended. While there are always other indications for individual students, the factors at play as a stakeholder group for these population are the following. Specific findings indicate that single parent students need mental health care support and services as this affects every single aspect of their lives. Access and provision of these services must be the top priority. Next, due to the lack of college predecessors, the students must have active instruction and meaningful mentors to model ways to manage responsibilities. A former student who has already succeeded, a member of their community, a person of their culture, race, or religion is necessary to show them the way to succeed as these students need to learn strategies to attempt a balance between student, family, and work demands. Last, students must have access to affordable and reliable child care in order to attend classes and focus at school and at home. Additional single parent student needs are discussed as are solutions and an implementation plan in order to improve the grade point average and, as a result, improve the graduation rate of single parent students.
