42	Alternative Estimation Approaches Predicting College Retention amongst African American Students Turner, Christal-Joy Jewell 07 1900 (has links) This quasi-experimental study explored African American student's sense of belonging (SOBE), academic self-efficacy (ASE), parents' educational attainment (PEA), and academic success (GPA) at historically Black colleges and universities and predominantly white institutions. The purpose of the present study measured how the factors influenced the rate of persistence to see how colleges and universities could assist to retain African American students in the pursuit of full matriculation through an independent samples t-test, multiple regression analyses, confirmatory factor analyses, and structural equation modeling with the results from methods such as item parceling, factor scoring, and sum scoring being compared. Results indicated that the second-order SEM, item parceling, and factor score regression approaches were found to have consistent results in terms of significant predictors. Parental educational attainment was found to not have an effect on academic achievement or collegiate persistence, but sense of belonging and academic self-efficacy were found to be significant predictors of GPA and CP with ASE being the strongest indicator for collegiate persistence and academic achievement. Implications for future research suggest additional schools be included and higher education institutions should seek further assessment to ensure their African American students feel included in an effort to increase overall persistence amongst African American students. college persistence academic self-efficacy parental educational attainment sense of belonging academic success item parceling structural equation modeling factor scoring sum scores theory of attrition social cognitive theory confirmatory factor analysis sense of belonging scale higher education educational psychology institutional effectiveness predominantly White institutions Education, Tests and Measurements Psychology, Psychometrics Education, Social Sciences
