Stepping Stones to a Degree: The Impact of Enrollment Pathways and Milestones on Community College Student Outcomes (2007, background): “As discussed, studies of completion rates show, not surprisingly, that students who come from higher income families and whose parents also went to college have a higher probability of graduation (Adelman, 1999, 2005, 2006; Bailey & Alfonso, 2005; Cabrera et al., 2005).”
Exploring What Leads High School Students to Enroll in Hispanic-Serving Institutions (2011, background): “Math preparation has been found to be an important predictor of college enrollment (Adelman, 2006; Perna & Titus, 2005).”
An Examination of Persistence Research Through the Lens of a Comprehensive Conceptual Framework (2009, background): “The interaction of SES and academic resources, particularly for students who are low in both, is highly influential in student success (Adelman, 2006; Cabrera, Burkum, & LaNasa, 2003, 2005; Pascarella & Terenzini, 2005).”
Running in Place: Low-Income Students and the Dynamics of Higher Education Stratification (2011, background): “Students in more recent cohorts may be more likely to transfer from their initial postsecondary destination than students in previous cohorts (Adelman, 1999, 2006).”
What Matters to Student Success: A Review of the Literature (2006, background): “The research consistently shows that delaying postsecondary enrollment, for whatever reason, reduces the likelihood that the student will persist and complete a degree program (Adelman 2006).”
Understanding the Racial Transfer Gap: Modeling Underrepresented Minority and Nonminority Students’ Pathways from Two-to Four-Year Institutions (2014, background): “To begin with, findings underscore the importance of advising URM students to take advanced math courses during high school and extends the salience of high school mathematics rigor from college access and persistence outcomes (Adelman, 2006) to URM students’ vertical transfer patterns.”
Hispanic Student Success: Factors Influencing the Persistence and Transfer Decisions of Latino Community College Students Enrolled in Developmental Education (2010, background): “Similarly, research has consistently shown that not immediately enrolling in college after high school (i.e., delayed enrollment) is negatively related to community college students’ decisions to persist in college or earn a degree (e.g., Adelman 1999, 2006).”
The Constraints of Poverty on High Achievement (2008, methodology): “Clifford Adelman (1996, 2006) has shown that the greatest predictor of postsecondary success is the satisfactory completion of mathematics courses beyond Algebra II and rigorous courses such as Advanced Placement during high school.”
A formative assessment of students’ algebraic variable misconceptions (2014, background): “Learning algebra is a “gatekeeper” to students’ future educational and career success (Adelman, 2006; RAND Mathematics Study Panel, 2003; Silver, 1997; U.S. Department of Education, 1999).”
New Conceptual Frameworks for Student Engagement Research, Policy, and Practice (2013, background): “And, enhancements in student capacity for self-regulation (Perry, Phillips, & Dowler, 2004; Wolters & Taylor, 2012), volitional control (McCann & Turner, 2004), habits of mind (C. Adelman, 2006), and meta-cognition (Corno, 1993) may be classified as cognitive benefits of engagement.”
Measure for Measure: what Combining Diverse Measures Reveals About Children's Understanding of the Equal Sign as an Indicator of Mathematical Equality (2012, background): “Because algebra is an important gateway not only into higher mathematics, but also into higher education more generally (Adelman, 2006; Moses & Cobb, 2001), the importance of building highquality relational understanding of the equal sign is of critical importance.”
Challenges and Opportunities for Improving Community College Student Success (2010, background): “For example, research indicates a strong association between an undisrupted transition to college and the likelihood of degree completion, such that individuals who make a timely transition into college without a significant period of delay after high school are substantially more likely to complete”
What Blocks the Gate? Exploring Current and Former English Learners’ Math Course-Taking in Secondary School (2017, background): “However, it is well established that prior coursetaking influences future course-taking (e.g., Adelman, 2006).”
Creating College Opportunity: School Counselors and Their Influence on Postsecondary Enrollment (2013, background): “5 Math course-taking, in particular, has been identified as the strongest predictor of success in college (Adelman 2006; Conley 2005; Zelkowski 2010), and also shapes the postsecondary-related decision making of students (Eccles et al. 2004; Zeldin et al. 2008).”
