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.
Book Synopsis Hmong Students' Parental Support and Motivation in Higher Education by : Seng Vang
Download or read book Hmong Students' Parental Support and Motivation in Higher Education written by Seng Vang and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

The guide features copies of my admissions essay, writing supplement, and activities resume that I used to apply to college the fall of my senior year. Get advice on all the secrets of the admissions process from start to finish. ""I can't believe that a 17 year-old has written a college admissions books that is so well-written, clear and accurate. No wonder USC jumped at the chance to have her become their student. My sense of things is that mostly parents read college admissions books; high school students just don't want to take the time. Given what she says and how she says it, I truly believe that teens will rush to read "You Got Into Where?" It is well worth their time."" -Marjorie Hansen Shaevitz Author, adMISSION POSSIBLE

Book Synopsis The Lack of Motivation to Pursue Postsecondary Education Among Hmong Students by : Xang Lee
Download or read book The Lack of Motivation to Pursue Postsecondary Education Among Hmong Students written by Xang Lee and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 248 pages. 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.

Book Synopsis The Motivation for Higher Education Among Hmong College Students and the Impact of Parenting Styles by : Cynthia Moua
Download or read book The Motivation for Higher Education Among Hmong College Students and the Impact of Parenting Styles written by Cynthia Moua and published by . 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 Synopsis Hmong Americans in Higher Education by : Janet Fergus Daugherty
Download or read book Hmong Americans in Higher Education written by Janet Fergus Daugherty and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 222 pages. 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.
Book Synopsis Socialization and Hmong Student Success in Career and Technical Education by : Carmen Iannarelli
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.
