by Hernandez, Yvette, M.A., The University of Texas at El Paso, 2008, 76 pages; AAT 1453827

Abstract (Summary)

This qualitative study uses a case study approach to research a phenomenon associated with the social relationships among students in dual language settings that provide a real-life connection for teamwork in a global society. Peer capital, as the social relationship phenomenon is called in this study, bridges together various theories including social capital, help-seeking orientation, and belongingness.
