dc.description.abstractWith Oregon’s struggling graduation rates, individual school districts have initiated the AVID program in an attempt to increase the number of students who receive a diploma and are college and career ready. Given that the existing research on AVID has shown mixed results for underrepresented groups, my study sought to explore the relationship between demographic and background characteristics and student perceptions of whether the program was helpful. Additionally, I explored whether there was any predictive relationship between these demographic and background characteristics and student perceptions of whether AVID helped, and of college-going intentions and beliefs. A correlational design and multiple regression analyses were used with a sample of 5,284 AVID participants throughout the state. Overall, the findings showed that approximately 80% of study participants reported that the AVID program helped them to become better students, the largest associations in this area coming from students with higher levels of AVID experience. The findings also revealed that there were a smaller number of male participants in the program during the 2016-17 school year and that male participants and those who identified with underrepresented groups were less likely to report college-going beliefs and intentions in comparison to their counterparts.
