1.9 DEFINITION OF TERMS
SOCIAL CAPITAL DEFINED
Social
capital, as defined by Coleman (1988), includes multiple concepts. Each
of the included concepts produces a desirable outcome within a
relationship among different people. Each person included in the
relationship places value on the desired outcome. This value is the
intangible resource that Coleman refers to as social capital.
DROPOUT DEFINED
Event
dropout describes the student who has committed the mere act of leaving
high school before graduating. Status dropout describes the person of
school age who was not in school at the time of the survey. Cohort
dropout uses a base year and describes a person who did not obtain a
high school equivalency degree, high school Dropouts 9
diploma, or
failed to attend school for 20 consecutive unexcused days during the
base year in which the individual should have graduated.
Status
dropout rate is used most often to describe the proportion of persons
who have dropped out of school. Event dropout rate describes the percent
of students who drop out of school in any particular year. Cohort
dropout rates show the difference in dropout rates for particular groups
of students. Due to the confusing nature of the definitions, states
often report differing types of dropout percentages, leading to
unreliable conclusions when comparing state dropout rates.
