Thesis (Ed.D.)--The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Hong Kong), 2014.

The education system in Hong Kong has undergone some unprecedented changes. Since the turn of the millennium, community colleges have proliferated in the territory and offered an alternative path to higher education for many secondary school leavers who may fail to get a place at university via the traditional JUPAS scheme. By using the case study method, the present study investigates how community college students achieved academic success in an Associate Degree (AD) programme after experiencing serious failures in the public examinations. Six community college students were invited to the study, and an in-depth, face-to-face interview was conducted with each to collect data about factors that contributed to their academic success in AD to portray their unique success story. The data were analyzed by using open coding and cope mapping from which categories of codes and major themes were derived. The results of analysis suggest that factors that affected the academic success of community college students included school connectedness factors and other personal, social and institutional factors. For school connectedness factors, the specific contributing factors included teacher care, peer relationships and extra-curricular activities involvement. For other factors of success, students' being autonomous and persevering, the campus environment, courses and assessment methods, the support from family and religious beliefs were found to be influential. The research study is important in both theoretical and practical sense in that community college success can be attributed to a combination of personal, social, institutional and school connectedness factors. Further, the study inspires how teachers, counsellors and community college administrators could help community college students to achieve academic success by creating a caring campus culture and providing appropriate assistance and guidance. Directions for future research in school connectedness and community college success are recommended and discussed.
