"Whoa. You Speak Mexican?": Latina/o High School Students' Sense of Belonging in Advanced Placement and Honors Classes
Bjorklund, Peter
Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, v24 n2 p109-131 2019
This qualitative study explored Latina/o students' sense of belonging in majority White and Asian Advanced Placement (AP) and honors classes in a diverse suburban high school. Using self-determination theory as a framework, I focused on three aspects of sense of belonging: social belonging, teacher-student relationships, and academic belonging. Ten Latina/o tenth- and eleventh-grade students participated in classroom observations, guided journaling sessions, and interviews to capture their sense of belonging in AP and honors classes. Although all of the participants expressed a lack of sense of belonging, they reported that they leveraged their experiences to motivate themselves, increase their engagement, and build resilience.
