African American Adult Undergraduates: Differing Cultural Realities.
Kasworm, Carol
Journal of Continuing Higher Education, v50 n1 p10-20 Win 2002
Interviews with African-American adult students at four universities and four community colleges showed that past and current collegiate experiences and personal supports create congruence or lack of congruence between students and college cultures. Fragile and intermittent involvement, limited learning engagement, and cultural dissonance were linked. (Contains 18 references.) (SK)
