Thesis (Ed.D.)--University of Houston, 2004.

The purpose of this study was to compare the academic preparation and achievement of Hispanic, African American, and Anglo students who were first-year freshmen in 1995, to the academic preparation and achievement of Hispanic, African American, and Anglo students who were first-year freshmen in 2000. Three questions were addressed in this study: (1) How did the academic preparation and achievement of Hispanic students who were first-year freshmen in 1995 compare to the academic preparation and achievement of Hispanic students who were first-year freshmen in 2000? (2) How did the academic preparation and achievement of African American students who were first-year freshmen in 1995 compare to the academic preparation and achievement of African American students who were first-year freshmen in 2000? and (3) How did the academic preparation and achievement of Anglo students who were first-year freshmen in 1995 compare to the academic preparation and achievement of Anglo students who were first-year freshmen in 2000?

520 $a The purpose of this study was to compare the academic preparation and achievement of Hispanic, African American, and Anglo students who were first-year freshmen in 1995, to the academic preparation and achievement of Hispanic, African American, and Anglo students who were first-year freshmen in 2000. Three questions were addressed in this study: (1) How did the academic preparation and achievement of Hispanic students who were first-year freshmen in 1995 compare to the academic preparation and achievement of Hispanic students who were first-year freshmen in 2000? (2) How did the academic preparation and achievement of African American students who were first-year freshmen in 1995 compare to the academic preparation and achievement of African American students who were first-year freshmen in 2000? and (3) How did the academic preparation and achievement of Anglo students who were first-year freshmen in 1995 compare to the academic preparation and achievement of Anglo students who were first-year freshmen in 2000?
520 $a The findings indicate that with regard to academic preparation as measured by the SAT, Hispanic, African American, and Anglo students who were first-year freshmen in 2000 all realized higher scores on the SAT than did Hispanic, African American, and Anglo students who were first-year freshmen in 1995. The difference in the SAT of Anglo students who were first-year freshmen in 2000 was statistically significant, although not educationally significant. The high school grade point average, another measure of academic preparation of Hispanic and African American students who were first-year freshmen in 2000 was statistically significantly higher than the high school grade point average of Hispanic and African American students who were first-year freshmen in 1995 although the difference was not educationally significant. The high school grade point average of Anglo students who were first-year freshmen in 2000 was higher than the high school grade point average of Anglo students who were first-year freshmen in 1995. However, the difference was minimal and therefore was not large enough to be either statistically or educationally significant. The first-year cumulative grade point average of Hispanic, African American, and Anglo students who were first-year freshmen in 2000 was higher than the first-year cumulative grade point average of Hispanic, African American, and Anglo students who were first-year freshmen in 1995. Although the difference was neither statistically nor educationally significant, the findings do indicate that there was an advance in the academic achievement among Hispanic, African American, and Anglo students who were first-year freshmen in 2000.
