Perceptions of Multiculturalism, Academic Achievement, and Intent To Stay in School among Mexican American Students.
Tan, Gerdean
Journal of Research and Development in Education, v33 n1 p1-14 Fall 1999
Examined the relationship between perceived multiculturalism of schools, ease of learning, academic achievement, and intent to stay in school among eighth and eleventh graders. Surveys of Mexican-American and European-American students indicated that Mexican-American students who considered their environment multicultural also perceived that school was easier, that they received good grades, and that they would stay in school.
