家庭教育背景对第一代大学生学业发展的影响

A Study of the Family Educational Background Influence on the Course of Studies of First Generation Academics

基于鲁尔地区一所高校的实证分析,首先阐述了来自高学历和非高学历家庭的大学生在入学时先决条件的不同之处;接下来研究了这两组学生在大学第一年里学业发展的差异,以及这些差异在多大程度上可以归因于入学时不同的先决条件。研究表明,多数家庭第一代大学生接受的中学教育类型往往没有为将来的大学学习打好基础,以致明显影响了他们在大学的学业发展。因此,家庭第一代大学生在大学第一年里辍学的风险要比比较组高出20%。本研究的学生所具备的特征在一定程度上可以解释较高的辍学率。但是,即使进行比较的学生们具有这些相同的特征,家庭第一代大学生的辍学风险仍然相对来说比较高。

This research is to investigate the differences in entry traits of first-year students,using an empirical analysis of a sample university in the Ruhr. Elaborating on the families’ educational and academic background of both groups,the analysis has shown that the first generation academics do not have ideal prerequisites for higher education throughout the entire course of studies. Their chances of dropping out of their studies are 20% higher. The traits elaborated in the study can partially explain this discrepancy. Yet,with all these factors being identical,first-semester students from a non-academic background are more likely to quit their studies.
