AERA Online Paper Repository, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (Toronto, Canada, Apr 5-9, 2019)
This study examined the associations of school connectedness and school counselor contact to college enrollment among 1,077 Asian American students. The results revealed that school connectedness and school counselor contacts were positively related to college enrollment. The results of the current study provide important contributions to the school counseling literature on college preparation, by expanding our understanding of Asian American students. First, our findings support the benefit of feeling connected to school in college preparation among Asian American students. Another implication of this study is that contacting high school counselor in their 9th grade could increase the possibility to enroll university or college, confirming the benefit of early student-school counselor contact in successful college enrollments for Asian American students.
