Description

Abstract: There is a significant body of research that establishes the benefits of early parental involvement in schools. However, very little attention has been devoted to exploring the experiences and expectations of immigrant Pakistani parents in this context. For this study, the researcher explored the experiences and expectations of immigrant Pakistani parents regarding parental involvement in their children's schools in the United States. The theoretical perspectives that guided this study were based on the teachings of Bronfenbrenner, Epstein, and Spry and Graham who explained how the environment and the surrounding community influence the child. A qualitative research design, using a phenomenological lens, was employed to interview eight Pakistani parents from diverse backgrounds. This ensured that a wide range of Pakistani parental experiences were observed and recorded. The primary data collection instruments were interviews, and publically available documents from the school websites. Findings from the study demonstrate that Pakistani parents are very involved in their children's schooling. Their involvement includes the academic realm as well as extra-curricular activities. Although Pakistani parents want their children to succeed in school, they also desire that their children maintain their cultural and religious identities and therefore regularly engage in transnational activities including celebrating Eid, and Ramadan. Half of the parents interviewed reported at least one negative experience at school. While not all these can be attributed to the events of September 11, 2001 (9/11), some of these undoubtedly occurred because of negative stereotypes regarding this community that developed after the events of 9/11. Study participants provided several recommendations for schools to promote parental involvement by immigrant Pakistani parents. These include appropriate cultural and religious inclusion and greater opportunities to present workshops or lectures to the school community, especially during festivals or holidays that are important to them.
