Overall Research Project Description | Despite the importance of college access, postsecondary education perpetuates educational inequity. Social media, integral to teens' daily lives, can be a valuable tool, especially for marginalized teens, aiding them in their college choices. This multiple case study investigates how potential first-generation students make college choices and the role of social media in their college choice system. Interviews and social media diaries captured participants' perceptions and experiences. Based on findings, I propose suggestions for educators, higher education institutions, and social media stakeholders to support marginalized college-bound teens. |
Research Tasks | Literature review, Data collection, Data analysis |
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: | Qualitative data (e.g., interview, diary) analysis skills required |
Mentoring Philosophy | Through my teaching experience in an undergraduate-level course, I have developed my mentoring philosophy. I believe successful mentoring should include three main components: (1) student engagement, (2) interaction with students, and (3) respect for students. First, learning can occur through students' engagement. In my class, I integrated diverse learning activities to have learners cognitively engage in class rather than receive a one-sided lecture. Along with that, I checked their progress and provided feedback to ensure that they did not develop any misconceptions. In research mentoring, I will provide students with specific research tasks to which they can apply their knowledge and skills and provide clear feedback. Second, I strongly believe that interaction with students is the best way to enhance teaching and mentoring. I learned from my own teaching experience that to identify students' needs and optimize my teaching, I should directly interact with the students rather than make assumptions. Since mentoring is an interactive practice, I should be open to students’ feedback and ready to adapt my teaching methods to their needs. Last but not least, I believe that students can learn best when they feel valued as individuals. As a graduate student myself, I am aware that students have their own lives outside of the classroom, and their personal lives and well-being significantly influence their learning. When I showed my care for them, students appreciated it and were more actively involved in the class. Healthy and productive mentorship is built on mutual respect. |
