Self-Determination and Success Outcomes of Two-Year College Students with Disabilities
Russo Jameson, Deborah
Journal of College Reading and Learning, v37 n2 p26-46 Spr 2007
This two-phase study integrated quantitative and qualitative research methods to investigate the relationship between success outcomes of two-year college students with disabilities and self-determination, and how students with higher and lesser degrees of self-determination understand and describe the outcomes of their post-secondary experience. The "ARC Self-Determination Scale" (Wehmeyer & Kelchner, 1995) and the "Demographic and Outcomes Survey" (researcher developed) were used in the quantitative phase. In the qualitative phase, follow-up interviews were conducted with four participants using Wehmeyer's framework of self-determination. Results suggest that individuals with higher degrees of self-determination describe highly self-determining behaviors and have more positive success outcomes than those with lesser degrees of self-determination. The following are appended: (1) Table A1 The Arc Self-Determination Domains/Sub-Domains; and (2) Table B2 Self-Determination Scores/Retention Outcomes of Interview Participants. (Contains 1 table.)
