Abstract

This article aims to investigate the impact of personal background characteristics on the socialization with academic aspects of ethnic minority students in higher education institutions in Ho Chi Minh City. Quantitative method was used to measure the extent of the impact of these elements. A survey was conducted with 236 ethnic minority students studying at 14 public universities in Ho Chi Minh City. The results of the structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis indicate that four personal background characteristics affect the learning experiences of ethnic minority students: (1) socio-economic status, (2) preferences, (3) aptitude, and (4) aspirations. Among these, the aspect of aptitude has the greatest impact. These findings can provide valuable insights for relevant and interested stakeholders in formulating effective measures to help ethnic minority students socialize with the higher education environment effectively.
