Motivation, High School Learning, and Postsecondary Context of Support

In this research, a conceptual frame to understand the concept of high school graduates who advanced to the university of recent 4-year science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) using social scientific expert theory and higher education literature I will test the work. The results show that the selection of the STEM Major subject is directly affected by the STEM expert's intention, high school math scores and early higher education experience (such as academic exchanges and financial aid receipts). With the greatest impact on the STEM entry, the STEM expert's intent is directly influenced by the math score of the 12th grade, the contact of the curriculum of mathematics and science, and the mathematical self-efficacy - It is influenced by attitude. Mathematics Analysis of several pairs of structural equations shows that the mathematical achievement degree has a nonuniform influence on ethnic mathematics and science contacts, the positive effect on the STEM's intention has the greatest influence on white students, You can see that the impact on school students is minimal.

Data and famous education leaders support my idea. As Barbara Chow, director of the Hewlett Foundation Education Program wrote in her last article, Graduation Day, high school graduates say "If they do not accept higher education, they immediately move from graduation to work and continue working In fact, all reports quoted by Barbara back up the importance of enrollment and success in higher education institutions, my my laissez-faire attitude towards my family's high school graduates is my It can be combined with the new book "High School Reform: In-depth Learning: Eight Public Schools That Change Education in the 21st Century". This stopped me and made me think. When do you think the traditional high school diploma has lost value? What is needed?

Most university high school students do not have enough university students to support university entrance rates and college graduation rates. By 2020, it is estimated that at least two-thirds of US work requires higher education and only one-third of adults in the United States currently have a bachelor's degree. The process of the university has created an unbalanced competitive environment with low incomes and first generation students entering very high entry barriers. Indeed, according to research, many low-income, high-performance students are not suitable for selective universities, even if the costs of these universities are low. If we regard higher education as an opportunity to improve social liquidity, we should be disappointed
