Özet:
The purpose of this content-analysis based qualitative study is to examine and bring awareness to the social work community regarding the factors affecting academic success among Latino American Adolescents. More specifically, this research aims to examine achievement motivation and discrimination, environmental support, parental, social and acculturation stress, and demographic factors of Latino American adolescents as primary elements influencing the outcome variables of their academic success. In addition, the aim of this research is to identify and present a prototype case that reflects major themes and factors contributing to academic success among Latino American adolescents as well as culturally and linguistically sensitive micro, mezzo and macro level intervention strategies that can better address the problem.
This qualitative content analysis study was conducted with a widespread literature review using the dependent variable of academic success among the vast scholarly peer reviewed articles identified. The significance of the findings is identified within various factors involved in the issue of academic success among Latino Americans. The most common theme that was present among the findings of academic achievement among Latino American students was demographic factors and social and acculturation factors. Regardless of many organizations and educational structures implementing various forms individual, organizational, and societal level interventions, high school dropout rates, academic success, and the representation of the Latino community in higher paid careers is lacking.
These persistent challenges impeding the advancement of this marginalized and historically unrepresented and undeserved population are pressing and significant to educators, students, families, society and our nation's future. Future research can focus on improving the academic environment and assimilating, a multidisciplinary and effective system. Additional research would also be beneficial in understanding aspects directly related to demographic factors and social and acculturations factors.
