This book was released on 2014 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore the educational motivating factors and the parenting styles experienced by Hmong college students. The participants of this study were Hmong college students and alumni who studied at a University of California or a California State University. The data was collected using a quantitative online survey. There were a total of 297 participants, with 220 of the participants completing the survey. The survey consisted of 27 items which measured the type of motivation and the type of parenting styles experienced by participants. The collected data were analyzed through the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program. The results of this study revealed that the most prevalent parenting style experienced by the participants was an authoritarian (strict) parenting style, followed by an authoritative (flexible) parenting style, and a permissive (lenient) parenting style. Participants selected an authoritative parenting style as the parenting style that they felt would best promote educational motivation within Hmong students. Extrinsic motivational factors such as job security, financial stability, and family acknowledgement, was revealed to have motivated participants to obtain a college degree and would also best serve as educational motivating factors for future Hmong students. This researcher suggests that social services should advocate for policies that will implement the promotion of cultural awareness and earlier higher education awareness among minority students such as Hmong.

Book excerpt: While the model minority myth stereotypes Asian Americans as the role model for other ethnic minorities, many Asian Americans are faced with economic, educational, and occupational hardships amongst other challenges (Museus & Yi, 2016). In one report, 14% Hmong, 13% Cambodian, and 12% Laotian Americans obtained bachelor degrees, which is less than half the national average of 28% (Museus, 2014). According to Museus and Yi (2016), there are over 24 different Asian ethnic groups from different languages, cultures, and customs. More studies focusing on Hmong college students' motivation to pursue higher education and parental support would provide greater insight into their educational experience. The purpose of the current study was to investigate whether motivation and perception of parental support predicted Hmong college students' pursuit of a higher education. Data were collected at a Northern Californian public university via a Hmong student organization and Hmong language class. A total of 50 Hmong college students between the ages 18 and 31 participated in the study and were surveyed through a series of questionnaires. Findings show that motivation significantly influenced higher education, even while accounting for parental support. While parental support and motivation were related, parental support did not significantly predict Hmong students' pursuit of a higher education. Hmong college students are part of the Southeast Asian community for which there is a lack scholarly research. By further investigating and providing scholarly research on Hmong college students, this study seeks to take an important step in enhancing their educational quality and better serve the Hmong community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In rural areas, a lack of motivation to pursue a postsecondary degree continues to affect Hmong students at the postsecondary education level. The purpose of this qualitative grounded theory research was to create a model based on the exploration of the lack of motivation to pursue postsecondary education among Hmong high school students. Educational leaders might be able to use the model to help them find ways to assist and prepare Hmong students for postsecondary education. The data were collected from the interviews with 10 high school graduates, 5 Hmong parents, and 5 educators. The finding suggested that Hmong parents and existing educational services were not effective enough to improve and prepare Hmong high school students for postsecondary education. Additional support initiatives such as stronger expectations, role models, mentoring, educational support programs, college visits, Hmong counselors who could speak Hmong and other leadership roles, activities that motivate students internally, personal financial literacy and postsecondary options classes, and the affection of Hmong parents were needed to prepare Hmong high school students for postsecondary education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I conducted this study to examine Hmong American college students' perspectives on sense of belongingness and their idea on the American Dream. The college experience can serve as a precursor to improving the social and economic situation of the Hmong students when aligned with the personal desire to gain upward mobility and motivation to circumvent social and academic inconsistencies. The methodology of the study was designed for one-on-one phenomenological informal interviews with Hmong American college upper-classmen using a two-part interview protocol to elicit demographic and experiential information. Moustakas' approach to the analysis of data provided guidelines to review individual transcripts and to group, remove, cluster, and thematize lived experiences. The findings of this study indicated that Hmong college students: (a) enrolled out of obedience to the parents, especially their fathers, regardless of the educational level of the parents and (b) thrived when authority figures on campus reached out to help their humble situation ... it not only made them belong to the campus family but it strengthened their self-esteem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is to examine the influence of parents on Hmong students and if Hmong gender roles, cultural barriers, assimilation and acculturation to the American culture in the United States can affect Hmong students' decisions to pursue higher education. Hmong males are expected to do well to preserve and carry on the family reputation and name. Hmong males are encouraged to go out and seek knowledge, in hopes of not only leading the family but the clan (pertaining to 18 Hmong last names) and the Hmong community as well. Hmong females are expected to learn traditional family roles. Older generations hold a high expectation of their daughters to keep the traditional Hmong ways of caring for their immediate family until they are married. Encouragement for males to obtain a higher education may seem more likely to happen. School Counselors are expected to learn of multicultural counseling to effectively reach out to all students. It's important for school counselor's to know of and learn about the Hmong culture to effectively help Hmong students and give them resources necessary to obtain a higher education.
Download or read book The Perspectives of Hmong Parents Role in Their Children s Post secondary Education written by Ka H. Lysongtseng and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hmong people have been living in the United States for more than four decades, primarily in the states of California, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. The Hmong came to the United States as refugees from Laos when that country was overtaken by the Communist Pathet Lao in 1975. The Hmong have made great strides in assimilating into their new culture and society; however, a number of research studies have shown that Hmong students are struggling in higher education institutions today. In 1976, when the first Hmong refugees began entering the U.S., more than 70 percent of them had no prior education, either in Laos or while living in the transition camps in Thailand. Even so, many have successfully attained college degrees and live prosperous lives. The purpose of this action research project is to understand Hmong parents' view of the roles they play in their children's success in college education in the U.S. The research was conducted among six maternal parents residing in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews. The results indicated that the participants' high regard for education, their active involvement in their children's school activities, their provision of financial support, and their practice of early reading to their children (some even in utero), were important components in their children's educational success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the arrival of the Hmong in the United States as war refugees, they have been shadowed by the Asian Minority Success Myth (Ngo & Lee, 2007) which holds that all Asians and Asian Americans excel in the classroom. A Critical Race Theory analysis of this model and the varieties of Cultural Capital brought to this Acculturation process shows Hmong students at a disadvantage (Bourdieu, 1986; DePouw, 2012; Perna & Thomas, 2008; Rick, 1988). Other literature suggests hidden Cultural Capital, positive characteristics of Biculturation and positive outcomes of Hybridity can promote education success among minority students (Lowe, 2000; Rick, 1988; Yosso, 2005). Statement of Problem: Not all Hmong college students go through the same challenges. This study categorizes Hmong college students by various demographic variables to determine challenges they face from family, community, institution and self as they pursue their higher education. It explores what might be most supportive of Hmong college student success. Methodology: The researcher surveyed Hmong college students at one California university during the 2011-2012 academic year about the challenges they face in completing their college education and the resources they draw upon and the ways in which their path through college could be better supported. The students self-identified as Hmong and were contacted through the Hmong University Student Association. Participant responses were coded and analyzed to identify patterns of responses that pointed to common issues and to differences among subgroups within the Hmong students. Conclusions and Recommendations: Students surveyed were primarily from two categories: Adjusting-Animist-Male and Adjusting-Animist-Female. The greatest differences in responses were tied to gender, with males facing self-related challenges and females facing family-related challenges. Both faced institution-related challenges. Problems of support were tied more to difficulties in students reaching out for help rather than institutional refusal. Future research regarding Hmong college students should begin at the high school level, and study the intersections of culture, surroundings and self-concept as these affect Hmong students' difficulties in reaching out to others in their educational environment.
Download or read book Resources for College Students who are Parents written by Aymie Guerrero and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student-Parents are a growing sub-population found within institutions of higher education (IHE), but are these student-parents receiving the support they need to succeed throughout their journey in higher education? Benefitting resources include spaces that welcome students and their young children (Graff, Ridge, & Zaugg, 2019) and hindering obstacles include non-existing policies (Moreau, 2016). There is a dearth of data on just how many student-parents are currently enrolled as students or to what extent IHEs provide supportive initiatives and policies or are barely aware of their existence and specific needs. This ethnographic single case study examines the experience of one Latinx student-parent through the lens of Maslow's (1943) Hierarchy of Needs and Motivation and current literature related to student-parents and IHEs. The participant's journal entries and recall of positive and negative experiences are used to investigate what was and was not provided by the respective university to support the participant's journey in obtaining a degree. While this thesis is the study of a single case, there is reason to believe that her story is not unique or uncommon. By elevating this issue, universities can explore systems in place that make a vast positive difference in the lives of student-parents and their families, as well as to identify those systems and beliefs that create barriers and challenges.
Download or read book Multicultural Recruitment written by Meng Her and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is a mixed method research looking at Hmong women and their pursuit of higher education. It is a norm in the Hmong culture for women to have less privilege than men which leads to less freedom and more household chores. Studies have been done by other researchers in the 1990's and found these cultural norms as barriers to higher education among Hmong women. This study looks at the barriers to see if it limits women's opportunities to pursue a college degree but will also compare if there are differences between Hmong men and women. The hypothesis is that distance away from home may be an issue among the Hmong population when choosing a college for their daughters. Data will be collected by surveying Hmong college students in Minnesota and Wisconsin as well as interviewing Hmong college students, parents, and educators. Suggestions for future research will be to focus on men's pursuit of higher education.

Download or read book Impostor Phenomenon Among Hmong College Students written by GaoNhia Moua and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Impostor Phenomenon (IP) refers to feelings of phoniness experienced by high achievers (Clance & Imes, 1978). Many studies have been conducted and have found that college students can experience IP, preventing them from internalizing their own success, leading to feelings of self-doubt and anxiety, and affecting their academic performance and their decision to quit their educational pursuits. Provided is a detailed review on IP and Hmong students' college experience. However, there is no exclusive study done on IP among Hmong students. A thorough review of peer reviewed articles on IP and Hmong students' college experience resulted in 39 studies, ranging from 1978 to 2014. The review outlines the impact of Hmong culture on college experience for Hmong students, impostors' relationships with their parents, constructs associated with impostors, mental health and treatment of impostors, personalities of impostors, and specific impostor populations and groups. Without specific research done on the effects of IP on Hmong college students, it is difficult to discern the actual effects. This may be an essential topic for future research to investigate, possibly to increase retention and graduation rates overall. This research may also lead to more beneficial treatment for IP as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hmong families generally understand that education is the key to their survival and success in the United States. The literature review in this study suggests that cultural barriers and adjusting to the U.S. are strong indicators of why Hmong students do not succeed academically. This research examines the personal history and risk factors that affect Hmong students in post-secondary education from the students’ perspectives. Ten interviews were conducted with Hmong college students on what they perceive to be the high risk factors that impact Hmong students in post-secondary education. A basic content analysis was performed to code and analyze the data, and emerging themes were recorded.
