Parent Involvement And Educational Outcomes Among Latino Families
We would like to survey Latino parents of high school children to get a better understanding of their involvement in school activities/curriculum. The survey will help us identify what barriers Latino parents face with their high school children's education. Results will help us analyze what prevents parents from being involved, if not involved, and how we can find solutions to overcome these barriers. This study aims to describe what prevents Latino parents from effectively engaging in their children's high school education. In addition, we seek to identify how prepared Latino parents feel about college readiness and explore ways to encourage Latino parental involvement. Therefore, a study on the lack of efficient parental involvement among Latino communities would have significant implications for social work practice. The findings of this study will give a better understanding of how to effectively encourage Latino parents to engage in their high school children's education and provide higher education information to Latino parents so they can feel prepared and engaged.
Eligibility Criteria: Participants must be Latino parents of high school children in the inland empire.
Estimated Time: 10-15 minutes.

Lifestyle Behaviors and Health in College Students
Young adults (often college age individuals) are typically implementing lifestyle behavior choices that may impact their health and well-being. My PDC KINE student researchers are interested in a young adults health and wellness behaviors to better understand if one's lifestyle factors are associated with stress, motivation to exercise or other health related habits.
In my KINE 3700 Statistics in Kinesiology class, each student will have a research question and hypothesis based on the data collected through an anonymous survey in Qualtrics centered around health and wellness topics. The focus of these specific undergraduate research experiences in the classroom, are to create unscripted research based opportunities and to give the students the ability to choose their research topic, hypothesis, variables and allow for them to take ownership over their research experience in a supervised classroom setting. The following questions/hypotheses are provided as general questions/hypotheses that could be generated from the data collected. - Is physical activity (PA) associated with perceived stress? - Are self-efficacy and motivation to PA? - Females will have elevated stress scores compared to their male counterparts which may impact PA. The variables to be collected include: demographic information, minutes spent engaged in physical activity in the past 7 days, college student perceived stress, and self-efficacy/motivation to exercise.
Eligibility Criteria: Students enrolled in any higher education institution.
Estimated Time: 15 minutes

Beyond Barriers: Exploring Intersectional Experiences of Students of Color with Disabilities and the Potential of UDL
Understanding the unique challenges faced by students of color with disabilities in higher education is crucial. This study delves into this intersectionality, aiming to identify the specific obstacles they encounter at CSUSB. By exploring the potential of UDL to address these barriers and promote academic success, the study seeks to develop concrete recommendations for inclusive policies and practices. This research aspires to go beyond existing knowledge by considering the combined influences of race, ethnicity, and disability within UDL, ultimately paving the way for more effective strategies to empower students of color with disabilities in their academic journeys.
This research project delves into the complex and crucial intersection of race, ethnicity, and disability in higher education, particularly at California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB). Our aim is to illuminate the unique challenges faced by students of color with disabilities and explore how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) can serve as a powerful tool for fostering their academic success. Through a comprehensive survey, we will gather valuable insights from students themselves. The information gathered will shed light on the specific obstacles they navigate in their educational journeys, encompassing academic barriers, social and cultural challenges, and potential biases within the learning environment. This understanding of their lived experiences will be critical in crafting effective strategies for change. By analyzing the collected data through the lens of intersectionality, we will explore the intricate interplay of race, ethnicity, and disability in shaping their academic experiences. This nuanced approach will allow us to go beyond existing research and identify specific UDL practices that can effectively address the unique needs of this diverse student population. Ultimately, this study aspires to translate its findings into actionable recommendations for CSUSB and beyond. We aim to develop inclusive policies and practices that can create a more equitable and supportive learning environment for all students, particularly those who navigate the intersection of race, ethnicity, and disability. By empowering students with disabilities of color to achieve their full academic potential, we can contribute to a more inclusive and prosperous future for all.
Eligibility Criteria: This research project invites your voice to shape a more inclusive future for students like you at CSUSB. We are seeking participation from undergraduate and graduate students who: Identify as a person of color: Your unique perspective on race and ethnicity is vital in understanding the challenges and opportunities faced by students of color with disabilities. Currently enrolled at CSUSB: Your lived experience within the CSUSB community will provide invaluable insights into the specific barriers and support systems available to students like you. Have a disability: Whether physical, invisible, self-diagnosed, or medically diagnosed, your experience navigating disability within the academic environment is crucial to informing effective interventions. By sharing your experiences and insights, you will be helping us to: Identify the specific challenges faced by students of color with disabilities at CSUSB.
