When looking at the attendance rates of young men in higher education, it is fair to say that young men are enrolling/dropping out much more frequently than young women today. What are the common tend relating to the decrease in college attendance among young men? What strategies may help decrease the gap between young men and women? These important questions need to be addressed to ensure that young men are not left behind.
Through the research process, I am looking the find articles/studies that may help develop my research guidelines however, as of now these are the current guild lines for research that I am looking for. Information from case studies of high school students and their plans for college that displays the differences between young men and women. Whereas empirical and psychological studies will be more useful in the quest for a solution to the problem. Other interesting research may include how father figures are consistently portrayed as lazy idiots on popular television series and how that may have an effect on male students’ psychology and how they look at school—finally comparing and contrasting the different studies to extract methods of improving the current enrollment situation with young men.
