Closing Gaps with a Utility-Value Intervention- First-Generation Students
One of the two main backgrounds that disadvantaged students in STEM courses tend to have, potentially leading to an achievement gap compared to the majority students:
- first-generation students (FG): a student who is the first in their family to attend college or receive higher education, since neither of their parents had a 4-year college degree
- in contrast with continuing-generation students (CG), FG students are of a sizable minority in college but tend to quit college compared to CG students
- the URM and FG backgrounds for disadvantaged students tend to overlap, as students can be of both identities, which is what the research study addresses
