520 $a Two groups of preschool parents, one Anglo middle-class and the other Hispanic working-class, who are recent immigrants, participated in the study. The data collecting method was a video-cued focus group discussion, where I showed each group a 20-minute videotape of a preschool classroom as a stimulus to evoke conversations. Interview data from each group were categorized using content analysis and interpreted utilizing interpretive methods drawn from Bakhtinian theory.
520 $a This study suggests that parents' perspectives on educational quality reflect their cultural values and social contexts. Quality components discussed by the middle class parents included low student-teacher ratios in order to give more attention to each individual child; helping children prepare for kindergarten by providing structured and academic-oriented curriculum; and qualified teachers. Working class parents emphasized low student-teacher ratios for safety and helping children prepare for kindergarten by familiarizing them with school routines, teaching proper manners, and teaching English.
520 $a In addition to between-group differences, the study also shows conflicting views within each group. Interpretation of the multiple layers of inconsistencies suggests that class and culture together provide parents with a framework to understand quality, accounting for the shared discourse in each group. Multiple views within a group suggest that parents, rather than just reflecting their culture and class backgrounds, are active meaning makers who juggle sometimes contradictory discourses. This study suggests that notions of educational quality need to be expanded, and to include the perspectives of parents. Parents from various communities should be seen as joining teachers and experts in the ongoing process negotiating definitions of quality.
