Latinx Students' Transition to College: When Readiness Meets Barriers
Convertino, Christina; Mein, Erika
Journal of Latinos and Education, v19 n3 p313-321 2020
Considering the particular and situated relationship between college readiness and college barriers in the context of college transitions amongst Latinx students, this article uses an academic literacies framework to analyze the transition stories of two Latinx, first-generation freshmen enrolled in a four-year university. The findings suggest that institutionally mediated digital learning tools can limit students' progress as they start college, even in the case of students who are otherwise college-ready.
