Cultural Identity Matters: Engaging African American Girls in Middle School
Jones, Janine M.; Lee, Lisa H.
Journal for Specialists in Group Work, v45 n1 p76-95 2020
School engagement has emerged as a significant predictor of positive academic and vocational outcomes. This study investigated the effects of a culturally responsive group intervention developed for African-American youth on dimensions of school engagement. Student and teacher perceptions of school engagement before, after, and 6 weeks following the intervention were analyzed for intervention effects with a particular focus on the four dimensions of engagement: academic, behavioral, cognitive, and affective engagement. Engagement patterns differed for the intervention participants and participants in the control group had lower self- and teacher-reported engagement than those who received the group intervention.
