Abstract
Transitioning from K-12 to college can be daunting for most students, especially those without appropriate coping mechanisms. The first-year experience is a unique, determining factor that could impact students' academic engagement, mental health, academic progress, retention, and ultimate success (implied as graduation). First-year seminars have been adopted by many colleges/universities to support students' transition smoothly to college, fostering engagement and academic success. However, the alarming attrition rate among first-year students is a cause for concern. This study aims to make a unique contribution to research in first-year seminar by adapting the MUSIC (eMpowerment, Usefulness, Success, Interest, Care) Model of Academic Motivation Inventory, to investigates the effectiveness of first-year seminars from students' perspectives to enhance retention, academic engagement, and achievement among underrepresented college students. The MUSIC Model of Academic Motivation Inventory was selected due to its comprehensive framework for assessing various dimensions of academic motivation, including empowerment, usefulness, success, interest, and care. The underrepresented college students enrolled in various first-year seminar programs will be the target population. The mixed-method approach, including surveys, interview and focus group discussions, will be employed to collect data. The multivariate analysis and structural regression model will be used to examine the manifest factors that fit the model that will be developed based on the theoretical framework we established. The findings will contribute to the overall perception and adoption of first-year seminar and proffer improvement strategies to making first-year experience effective.
