Chan, Tak C.
Educational Planning, v29 n4 p45-57 Fall 2022
The purpose of this study is to solicit teachers' perceptions of helping minority parents in educating their children. When teachers have a positive perception of minority parent involvement, they are more willing to take initiative toward helping the minority parents. A quantitative approach was taken in this study with the use of a researcher developed instrument. All the 30 teachers of a minority school in Hong Kong participated in the study. Results of data analysis indicated that teachers perceived minority parents not contributing enough to helping their children's study. Teachers indicated that they were willing to work with minority parents to get them involved in education However, the teachers admitted that they need to do more on their parts too.
