Abstract
This descriptive study assessed students’ perception of their college knowledge after exposure to Naviance. The study design included identification of a sample group of diverse high school students that participated in an after-school college and career intervention, Naviance. The participants’ perception of their college knowledge was measured through self-report using a survey containing five Likert-type scale items, developed by the researcher. There appeared to be no clear pattern of change in the sample group’s self perception of their college knowledge whether it was more confident or less confident. The implication of this research is, that there is an ongoing need for future research to develop interventions that allow access to college knowledge for underserved student populations.
