Abstract
This study is a systematic review of existing research literature dealing with Yosso’s (2005) community cultural wealth model and its influence on practices of student engagement for Latinx community college students in the United States. Inclusion criteria was limited to peer-reviewed studies and doctoral dissertations published between January 2014 and December 2019. A total of 21 studies were discovered, data extracted, and synthesized using methods of qualitative data collection and analysis.
Study findings included two to four practices for each of the six forms of capital in Yosso’s theoretical framework. Practices such as mentoring, goal-setting, program mapping, storytelling/testimonios, and an emphasis on relationship with institutional agent(s) were among the primary findings that crossed multiple forms of capital. The dissertation also possesses an extended discussion on implications and suggested practices for community colleges to leverage the existing cultural capital of Latinx students.
