Jackson, Nykela; Wake, Donna
Research Issues in Contemporary Education, v7 n1 p109-135 Fall-Win 2022
This study investigated the impact of a Grow-Your-Own (GYO) program on high school students' interests in teaching. Participants included 173 GYO students in a concurrent enrollment introductory education course. To explore the GYO's impact, survey results were compared to a sample of 297 traditional college students in a parallel curriculum. A two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) showed GYO students' plans to pursue teaching were positively impacted, with participants citing altruistic motivators. The GYO program also enrolled higher percentages of students of color, indicating the potential for diversifying the profession.
