Abstract

Minority students in the United States are presently experiencing countless educational problems in school: dropout rate is high, reading achievement is low, and repetition of grades is more frequent. Although educators are aware of cultural differences and although the process of acculturation has been investigated, there is little research on the relationship of such educational problems to acculturation. An objective method of measuring the concept of acculturation has not been established; consequently, the influence and effects of this process on a student have not been analyzed.
