Using data from the National Educational Longitudinal Study, this study revisited rural-nonrural disparities in educational attainment by considering a comprehensive set of factors that constrain and support youth's college enrollment and degree completion. Results showed that rural students were more advantaged in community social resources compared to nonrural students, and these resources were associated with a significant increase in the likelihood of bachelor's degree attainment. Yet results confirmed that rural students lagged behind nonrural students in attaining a bachelor's degree largely due to their lower socioeconomic background. The findings present a more comprehensive picture of the complexity of geographic residence in shaping college enrollment and degree attainment.
本研究利用国家教育纵向研究的数据,通过考虑一系列制约和支持青年大学入学及学位完成情况的综合因素,重新审视了农村与非农村地区在教育成就方面的差距。结果显示,与非农村学生相比,农村学生在社区社会资源方面更具优势,且这些资源与获得学士学位的可能性显著增加相关。然而,结果证实,农村学生在获得学士学位方面落后于非农村学生,主要原因是他们较低的社会经济背景。这些研究结果更全面地呈现了地理居住因素在影响大学入学和学位获得方面的复杂性。
