“…Hispanics' concentration in less selective institutions results in part from their comparatively limited academic preparation, which stems from historical educational segregation in less well-resourced primary and secondary schools (e.g. Gandara and Contreras 2010;Fuller et al 2019). This condition also results from Hispanics' preferences in choosing tertiary institutions.…”

Hispanics have become the largest ethnic minority in the US Better serving Hispanics to succeed in tertiary education and scientific fields like computing is critical to build equitable life opportunities and strengthen the US workforce. Typically, the most selective postsecondary institutions are emphasized as exemplary models for developing human capital in the US. Yet, due to the nation's tertiary education institutional stratification, relatively low numbers of Hispanics are enrolled in these institutions. We examine how Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), federally designated institutions in the US that enroll at least 25% Hispanics, develop strategies to raise Hispanic attainment in computing fields. Specifically, we explore the activities of HSIs in the Computing Alliance for Hispanic-Serving Institutions (CAHSI), a network of over 60 HSIs and other stakeholders that are committed to raising Hispanic attainment in postsecondary computing. We address the question: How do HSIs in CAHSI employ strategies to develop talent in computing among Hispanics? Specifically, we examine how CAHSI institutions apply values that are grounded in Hispanic communities, including emphases on confianza, respeto, and familia, to support Hispanic students in computer science. Our findings indicate the importance of centering Hispanic cultural assets to improve Hispanic success in computing.

“…Latinx school segregation is rising nationally across all grade levels. Orfield and others (2014) found that exposure-a measure that reflects contact or interaction among student groups-to white students decreased nationally between 1968 and 2011, especially in the West and Midwest (see also Fuller et al 2019). Economic segregation-which is often concurrent with racial segregation-is also increasing.…”

Taking an Equity Lens: Reconceptualizing Research on Latinx Students’ Schooling Experiences and Educational Outcomes

Previous research has expanded our understanding of Latinx students’ schooling and outcomes in many ways, but current knowledge fails to appreciate nuances associated with the constantly evolving Latinx population. In many cases, schools are ill prepared to serve these students. I offer recommendations for developing a robust knowledge base on the education of Latinx students and the roles that schools play in perpetuating or ameliorating inequities. Specifically, I discuss strength-based perspectives and the expansive diversity of the population as concepts that are essential to framing research and interventions that aim to improve education for the Latinx student population. I review the empirical evidence on achievement outputs and key features of the school opportunity gap—segregation, discrimination, family-school partnerships, classroom teaching and learning, and instruction language use. Finally, I propose implications for developing equity-oriented reforms to support the continuous improvement of Latinx students’ education.

“…De esta forma, los primeros pasos en la investigación sobre segregación escolar giraron en torno a la segregación racial, antes centrada en la segregación de afrodescendientes y, actualmente, en la segregación de otras minorías, como las personas procedentes de Latinoamérica (p. ej. Fiel y Zhang, 2018;Fuller et al, 2019;Santiago, 2019).…”

Con esta investigación se pretende determinar si es más adecuado considerar la segregación escolar por nivel socioeconómico de las familias o por nivel de estudios de los padres, en términos de cuál alcanza valores más altos y cuál tiene una mayor relación con el rendimiento estudiantil. Para ello, se realiza una explotación especial de la base de datos de la prueba de evaluación colombiana SABER 2016, de carácter censal. Se analizan 646.413 estudiantes de 5º grado escolarizados en 14.630 escuelas de Colombia. En primer lugar, se estima el Índice de Segregación de Gorard y el Índice de Raíz Cuadrada de Hutchens para nueve grupos según el nivel de estudios de los padres y otros, con tamaño equivalente, según la segregación por nivel socioeconómico. En segundo término, se estiman modelos multinivel de dos niveles (escuela y estudiantes). Los resultados muestran, por un lado, que para todos los grupos minoritarios y en ambos índices, la segregación escolar por nivel socioeconómico es mayor que segregación por estudios de los padres. Y, por otro, que, aunque ambas consideraciones de segregación afectan al rendimiento, la segregación por nivel socioeconómico muestra una relación mayor. De esta forma se concluye que, tal y como se venía haciendo, es correcto estimar la segregación por nivel socioeconómico, más que por nivel de estudios de los padres.
