Download or read book Factors Contributing to Hmong University Students Academic Success and Failure written by Danai Chowwiwat and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally and culturally, the Hmong valued formal education highly as an open door to economic stability and higher social status, but historically, they have never had the opportunity to truly live out their educational values. Today, the Hmong are living in the greatest country on earth, the United States of America, where they have found the opportunities to live out their dreams and hopes. Adjusting from preliterate culture to modernization and technological and industrial culture is a big challenge the Hmong are facing in their adopted country. As parents are adapting to new cultures in America, they felt they also needed to preserve their traditional cultures. They are living in two contrasted worlds. As result, parents are slowly assimilated into mainstream society, and children are growing up in between two worlds. Children are inheriting Hmong cultural values by reinforcement of traditional practices at home and learn about American values and cultures in school. In fact, schools have functioned as major agents of assimilation for Hmong children. Many Hmong adults having difficulty in assimilating to American mainstream culture because they are lacking English skills and have only minimal formal educational background. They have no hope to be successful educationally and economically. However, they appreciate the educational opportunities their children receive in America and want them to become educated, because education, especially higher education, is the only means to ensure their future economic security. In order to reach their dreams, Hmong parents and children have to pay a heavy price for their journey to educational and economic successes. I hope that by hearing their struggles and experiences will help us get an insight of the whole story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hmong are a mountain-dwelling subgroup of the Miao of southwest China. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, they began migrating southeast to Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. In the second half of the twentieth century, mainly because of their participation in the Second Indochina War (1954-1975), the Hmong began migrating to the West. Today the Hmong are one of the fastest-growing ethnic populations in the United States, increasing from about 94,000 in the 1990 census to approximately 190,000 in the U.S. Census Bureau's 2005 American Community Survey. With this rapid expansion, there has been a substantially increased interest in Hmong-related written works; multimedia materials; and websites among students, scholars, service professionals, and the general public. To help meet this interest, Mark Edward Pfeifer has compiled Hmong-Related Works, 1996-2006. An Annotated Bibliography, which includes full reference information (including Internet links to articles) and descriptive summaries for more than 600 Hmong-related works. Book jacket.

Book Socialization and Hmong Student Success in Career and Technical Education

Download or read book Socialization and Hmong Student Success in Career and Technical Education written by Carmen Iannarelli and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines factors affecting the academic performance of Hmong students at Chippewa Valley Technical College. Factors specifically analyzed for their impact upon student success are socioeconomic status, family support, the use of academic support programs, and the influence of agents of socialization. Through the use of archival institutional data, Hmong students were compared to white students at CVTC in terms of their relative grade point averages, course completion rates, and retention rates. Data revealed significant disparities in grade point average performance between Hmong and white students. The data also showed that eligibility for financial aid was significantly higher among Hmong students, and that this difference was commensurate with educational performance gaps between the two groups. Additionally, online surveys were used to assess family support while attending CVTC, the role of academic support programs, and influential agents of socialization. Gender differences in grade point average performance and socialization also were analyzed. Implications of the study's findings are discussed and recommendations for improving the performance of Hmong students are provided.

Book Successful First generation Hmong College Students Descriptions of Their Education Experiences in Minnesota

Download or read book Successful First generation Hmong College Students Descriptions of Their Education Experiences in Minnesota written by Onenee G. Saloka and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This phenomenological study examined the lived experiences of successful first-generation Hmong students who attended and graduated from high school in Minnesota. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with fifteen successful first-generation Hmong students who completed public high school in Minnesota. Emanating from the participants' discussions of their high school experiences, four major themes were identified: self-driven as a motivator, family as a motivating factor, peers as a motivating factor, and a positive connection with caring teachers. The central question the study asks is as follows: How did first-generation Hmong students who succeeded in their high schools in Minnesota experience it? For the purposes of this study, success encompasses graduating from high school. The essence of their school experience is the integration of personal responsibility, supportive school environment, and supportive home environment. All of the aforementioned when combined translated to academic success. To provide a caring, effective school experience that promotes self-driven individuals and a positive school environment where students can strive for success, it is essential for school leaders to understand the experiences of individuals who have already graduated.
