"Para Honrar Los Sacrificios De Mi Familia": Motivating Persons and Processes of Latinx Undergraduates Attending a Predominantly White Institution
Mary Dueñas; Alberta M. Gloria
International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v37 n3 p767-784 2024
A total of 174 Latinx undergraduates attending a predominantly White institution provided online responses regarding motivating persons, processes, and factors that helped them persist in college. Using a multi-step, content-based qualitative approach, there were three meta-themes (i.e. family, friends and peers, and self) with 15 themes developed from 350 response items. Using a psychosociocultural lens to guide our work and organize the data, we highlight Latinxs' educational narratives, offering critical understanding for university personnel and academic staff into students' internal and external motivations. We provide psychosociocultural implications for student support services personnel to assist and support Latinx students' success and wellness in higher education.
