Dual enrollment (DE) is rapidly growing, with 2.5 million high school students participating in 2022. This trend offers college credit opportunities and affects community college enrollments significantly. While studies suggest that DE can enhance educational and career outcomes, success in these programs is not solely based on academic ability. A key factor is studentsâ belief in their capabilities. Those who see themselves as future college students and possess strong self-efficacy, particularly in math, tend to perform better. Encouraging a growth mindset and normalizing help-seeking can further support studentsâ confidence and potential for success.
Students must believe they can succeed before they can succeed, with self-efficacy significantly influencing outcomes in dual enrollment courses.
Fostering a growth mindset helps students understand that their abilities can improve over time, which is crucial for success in college courses.
Nearly 2.5 million high schoolers are taking dual-enrolled college courses, marking a significant increase in college access through this pathway.
DE is beneficial for students, as evidenced by their performance; however, social and cognitive factors influencing success need further exploration and support.
