This study considers 4 years of national College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) data from programs located across the United States. Findings reveal that 81% of the migrant college students served by CAMP continue to study a 2nd year. Researchers found that the success of high-achieving programs can overshadow less effective ones and, thus, recommend that future program reviews be concerned with the whole as well as the parts. The development of program evaluation criteria is recommended.
Este estudio considera 4 años de información recopilada sobre programas para la asistencia universitaria de emigrados (CAMP) situados en Estados Unidos de América. Los resultados revelan que el 81% de los estudiantes universitarios emigrados servidos por CAMP continúan estudiando el segundo año. Investigadores encontraron que el éxito de programas de alto rendimiento pueden apocar los de menor efectividad y por lo tanto recomiendan que revisiones de programas futuros tengan en cuenta el todo tanto como las partes. Se recomienda el desarrollo de criterios de evaluación de programa.
