Hispanic Parents' Perceptions of Children's Education
Overview & Synopsis
This study examined 32 Hispanic parents' perceptions of education, especially, (a) parent's motivation for their children's career choice, (b) their perceptions of education, and (c) informal means of education at home. The data were collected using openended questions and were analyzed using content analysis. Findings in this study provide evidence that the Hispanic parents' motivations for their children's education were not solely based upon either intrinsic or extrinsic elements. Instead, their motivations were oriented to a combination of intrinsic, extrinsic, personal, social needs, and future goal orientations.
