The Impact of Parents' Education Level on College Students: An Analysis Using the Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study 1990-92/94 (2004, background): “This continued need for role models and mentors to help first generation students navigate successfully within the college environment has been echoed by others (e.g., Harrell & Forney, 2003; Ishitani, 2003; Terenzini et al.; Wallace, Abel, & RopersHuilman, 2000).”
First-generation students: what we ask, what we know and what it means: an international review of the state of research (2013, background): “The risk of attrition remains higher for FGS even after controlling for ethnic background, gender, high school grades, family income, type of institution and academic and social integration (Choy, 2001; Ishitani, 2003).”
Factors Influencing the Academic Achievement of First-Generation College Students (2006, background): “In addition, FGs are less likely to graduate from college within 8 years of high school completion, as only 24% earn a college degree in that period (Choy, 2001; Ishitani, 2003).”
Stories as Knowledge: Bringing the Lived Experience of First-Generation College Students Into the Academy (2010, background): “Despite these challenges, three out of four first-generation students who enroll in college aspire to complete a bachelor’s degree (Ishitani, 2003).”
Stepping Stones to a Degree: The Impact of Enrollment Pathways and Milestones on Community College Student Outcomes (2007, methodology): “Although not prevalent in the higher education literature, and almost absent from community college research, the method has been used in a number of studies to model dropout and completion among college students (DesJardins, Ahlburg, & McCall, 1999; Ishitani, 2003; Johnson, 2006; Scott & Kennedy, 2”
“You Never Become Fully Independent”: Family Roles and Independence in First-Generation College Students (2018, background): “In a longitudinal study, Ishitani (2003) found that FG students were 71% more likely not to continue at the university after their first year compared to CG students (see also Pratt, Harwood, Cavazos, & Ditzfeld, 2017).”
Settling into Campus Life: Differences by Race/Ethnicity in College Involvement and Outcomes (2007, background): “More recently, Ishitani (2003) found that first-generation students had a greater risk of departure throughout their college career than did their counterparts whose parents graduated from college.”
Studying Attrition and Degree Completion Behavior among First-Generation College Students in the United States (2006, background): “…(DesJardins, Ahlburg, & McCall, 1999, 2002; Murtaugh, Burns, & Schuster, 1999; Ishitani & DesJardins, 2002; Singer & Willett, 1991), examination of attrition behavior of first-generation college students using this particular statistical technique is nonexistent (except for Ishitani, 2003b).”
Talking ‘Bout My Generation: Defining “First-Generation College Students” in Higher Education Research (2018, background): “More recently, the majority of studies tend to define first-generation status as one or both parents having not graduated from college (Inkelas, Daver, Vogt, & Leonard, 2007; Ishitani, 2003, 2006; Padgett et al., 2012; Prospero & Vohra-Gupta, 2007; Wells et al., 2011).”
Bridging the Pipeline: Increasing Underrepresented Students’ Preparation for College Through a Summer Bridge Program (2011, background): “And, even when they do enroll, economically disadvantaged ethnic minorities face significant barriers to their pursuit of a college degree (Donovan, 1984; Ishitani, 2003; Strayhorn, 2010b; Walpole, 2003, 2008).”
Living–Learning Programs and First-Generation College Students’ Academic and Social Transition to College (2007, background): “Other researchers have broadened the definition in their work to include students whose parents may have attended college, but did not earn a degree (Ishitani, 2003), and others have narrowed the definition in their research to include only students who were first in their families to go to college…”
Cooling Out in the Community College: What is the Effect of Academic Advising on Students’ Chances of Success? (2008, background): “, students whose parents did not graduate from college) since such students face many disadvantages not shared by students whose parents are college educated (Ishitani 2003).”
First-to-Second-Year Persistence of Students With Disabilities in Postsecondary Institutions in the United States (2011, background): “…student may present potential barriers and contribute to higher attrition rates of students from postsecondary institutions (e.g., Engle & Tinto, 2008; Horn & Carroll, 1998; Ishitani, 2003, 2006; Lohfink & Paulsen, 2005; McCarron & Inkelas, 2006; Tinto, 2004; Warburton et al., 2001).”
Comparing the Determinants of Persistence for First-Generation and Continuing-Generation Students (2005, background): “Research by these and other scholars (e.g., Billson & Brooks-Terry, 1982; Cabrera, Nora, & Castaneda, 1993; Duggan, 2001, 2002; Ishitani, 2003; Nuñez & Cuccaro-Alamin, 1998; Pascarella & Terenzini, 1991; Pratt & Skaggs, 1989; Somers et al., 2000) form the theoretical and empirical basis for the…”
First-Generation College Students as Academic Learners: A Systematic Review (2020, background): “Once first-generation college students gain access to higher education, they have a 71% higher risk of attrition (Ishitani, 2003) and lower graduation rates than students with college-educated parents (Forrest Cataldi et al.”
First Generation College Students: Motivation, Integration, and Academic Achievement (2007, background): “Ishitani (2003) found that FGS are 71% more likely to drop out of college than NFGS, even after controlling for race, gender, high school grade point average, and family income.”
First-Generation Students in Postsecondary Education: A Look at Their College Transcripts (2005, unknown): “As in earlier studies (Ishitani 2003), this report found that first-generation students had some family and background characteristics that are associated with attrition.”
