This explanatory, mixed methods study disaggregates statewide outcome data to assess the impact of online instruction on the achievement gap between White and Latino community college students, and examines factors contributing to this inequity. Online instruction was found to significantly exacerbate the achievement gap, with Latino students experiencing a nine percentage point lower success rate, grades that average two-tenths of a grade point lower, and withdrawal rates over twice as high, as Latino students in face-to-face sections of the same classes.

A Community College Instructor Like Me:  Race and Ethnicity Interactions in the Classroom

Robert W. Fairlie Ph.D,

Professor of Economics, UC Santa Cruz

Wed, Nov 30, 2011

Fairlie discussed his findings (based on data at De Anza) that underrepresented community college students achieve greater success when placed in classes with an instructor of their ethnic background. His findings suggest "young students are likely to be susceptible to role-model effects."
