Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze Latinx student success in online education and how culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) contributes to removing barriers for success. CRP has proven to be successful in small scale studies in K-12 sector. This study analyzed how CRP can be effective in higher education and if applied to online education how it can affect success. Participants of my study included six students all of Latinx backgrounds who have taken a fully online course in a community college setting within the last year. I had three female and three male participants that were of traditional and non-traditional age. The design of this study is qualitative founded on LatCrit theory. I used critical narrative inquiry as my methodology. I setup interviews with my participants and used critical reflection to deconstruct the stories told about their online educational experiences. Research questions that were addressed is in listening to the critical narratives of the students and how did those narratives relate to culturally responsive pedagogy. What resources and support do Latinx students need to be successful in online education and lastly what barriers are inhibiting students of Latinx backgrounds to be successful in online education at a community college? These research questions were the basis of this study to gain clarity into Latinx academic success and how to eliminate barriers to that success with a focus in online education.
