Some explanations Students Learning environments (course programs/institutions)

General factors strengthened among non-Western students? 1.Background (first generation entrants, students from low income groups) 2.Choice of course program (HE-preparation) 3.Networking skills (asking for advice or assistance/support)

Specific factors Language (study skills) Interethnic relations (social and academic integration, Vincent Tinto) Ethnic minority students feel less at home (Severiens, Wolff, Rezai 2006)

What can HE-institutions do?

Which elements of the learning environment stimulate study progress of minority ethnic students? Small-scale teaching (commitment of both students and teachers; personal approach, social and academic engagement) Consequent implementation (study groups, program- composition, preparing teachers) Diversity in learning communities

UCLA: Academic Advancement Program Program for first generation students (SES-based) Mostly Latino students Pedagogy of Excellence (since mid 80’s) Bridging/Transition Summer Courses Mentoring/Tutoring/Counselling AAP-“Family”
