Abstract Details

2009, Master of Arts (MA), Bowling Green State University, Cross-Cultural, International Education.
This mixed method study was conducted with formal and nonformal educators and Latino families in Northwest Ohio to discern the educational, social and health needs that are specific to the Latino migrant community in Northwest Ohio. This study examined the perceptions of educational, health and socio-economic factors held by non-formal and formal educators who work with the Latino migrant community. Additionally, the Mexican educational system, the American educational and Latino cultural educational theories are contrasted. Results from this study show that formal and nonformal educators may not have similar perceptions regarding the needs of the Latino migrant community or Latino migrant students who attend public schools. Further, dissimilar cultural variances exist between Latino families in the U.S. and American educators which may hinder Latino student educational performance. Moreover, lack of access to information commonly assessed by the dominant culture in the U.S, including schools and health care may further deter the academic career of Latino students in American schools.
