- Description:
- The purpose of this study was to examine factors that contributed to African American parental involvement in Muslim education. While many studies have examined parental involvement in public school education and in Jewish and Christian schools, little attention has been given to African American parental involvement in Muslim education. The sample for this study consisted of fifty-three African American parents from an Islamic school in a large urban area in the southern region of the United States. The method of sampling used to select the parents was convenience sampling. To collect the data, questionnaires were self- administered by parents. A major finding of this study was that the parental involvement rate among the parents was medium to high. Other major findings indicated that there was no statistically significant relationship between the dependent variable, parental involvement, and the two independent variables, socioeconomic status and parental satisfaction. Implications for future research and social work practice are also examined.
