Acculturation and School Adjustment of Minority Students
Author: Elena Makarova
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000179273
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 143
Book Description
This book discusses the trajectories of minority students’ acculturation in terms of school and family-related characteristics that are influential for school adjustment of minority youths. The process that ethnic minority youth undergo while adjusting to the mainstream culture is known as acculturation. Acculturation outcomes in the school context can be measured in terms of students’ psychological well-being and their academic performance. For minority youth, family and school are the two main contexts of acculturation. The aim of the book is to provide multifaceted insights into the challenges that minority students, as well as their parents and teachers, encounter during the acculturation process, and to illustrate the interplay between school and family related factors of minority youths’ school adjustment. Research teams from Germany, Hungary, Israel, Russia, Switzerland, and USA report findings from empirical studies on acculturation and school adjustment of minority students in schools of their respective countries. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal, Intercultural Education.

Education for Assimilation
Author: Ian Howatt
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Acculturation
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"This thesis examines the application and role of education in general in the efforts to induce acculturation into and acceptance of settler society hegemony. Specifically, it illustrates how two disciplines currently work to incite passive indoctrination into the status quo, namely English Language Arts and Literature. During the imperial enterprise, language and literature acted as a means for the communication of settler conceptions of 'truth' and 'reality, ' perceptions that subverted Native meanings of both. Supported by the law, institutionalized religion, and violence, this subversion of First Nations understanding contributed significantly to their colonization. Importantly, the application of language and literature and their influence in this context persists today in the neocolonial educational environment. Public schools continue to stress the importance of the 'mother tongue' in providing success for students and recognize its role in advancing assimilation. At the same time, a pronounced lack of 'meaningful' Native representation and a number of fundamental impediments to its incorporation in the English classroom inhibit an understanding of Native cultures and concerns as they are communicated in literature. A qualitative content analysis of these resources, as well as theoretical application, is used to illustrate how all of these mechanisms work in conjunction to perpetuate the settler society objective of acculturation. In so doing, this thesis also recognizes the valuable contributions to pedagogy made by a number of groups and institutions in an effort to combat education for assimilation."--Page ii.

Author: Jacqueline Fear-Segal
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
A far-reaching and bold account of the larger issues at stake, White Man's Club challenges previous studies for overemphasizing the reformers' overtly optimistic assessment of the Indians' capacity for assimilation and contends that a covertly racial agenda characterized this educational venture from the start. Asking the reader to consider the legacy of nineteenth-century acculturation policies, White Man's Club incorporates the life stories and voices of Native students and traces the schools' powerful impact into the twenty-first century."--Jacket.
