The purpose of this study was to identify the special needs or concerns of Korean-American students by utilizing a survey questionnaire. Further, this data can be used to assess if any significant subset of these students are educationally at risk and in need of specialized services beyond regular education. A total sample of 207 Korean-American students in selected cities in California participated in the study. The findings suggest that the overwhelming majority of these students are well-adjusted to the way of life at home and school in California, and their self-concept appears to be highly positive. On the other hand, the majority (78%) of these students were concerned about their parents' limited English proficiency. Also, a considerable number (56%) were not happy with their school work, and approximately one third expressed concern regarding learning difficulties and the English language barrier.
本研究的目的是通过使用调查问卷来确定韩裔美国学生的特殊需求或担忧。此外，这些数据可用于评估这些学生中是否有任何重要的子群体在教育上面临风险，以及是否需要常规教育之外的特殊服务。加利福尼亚州选定城市的207名韩裔美国学生参与了该研究。研究结果表明，这些学生中的绝大多数都很好地适应了加利福尼亚州家庭和学校的生活方式，并且他们的自我概念似乎非常积极。另一方面，这些学生中的大多数（78%）担心他们父母的英语水平有限。此外，相当一部分（56%）学生对他们的学业不满意，约三分之一的学生对学习困难和英语语言障碍表示担忧。
