Community College Developmental Education Services: Perspectives of Spanish-Speaking Latino Early Childhood Educators
Eberly, John E.
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v17 n1 p3-19 Jan 2018
The purpose of this single-case study was to understand the perceptions of Latino Spanish-speaking English learners on the efficacy of developmental education services at a Western U.S. community college. The primary data collection method was in-depth individual interviews of a purposeful sample of nine successful students. Findings indicated that participants relied on Spanish instruction for comprehensible context, but needed consistent education support services from a culturally responsive institution in a language they understood.
