Do Pacific Island parents in Pohnpei have a problem with their American style education system? If so, what is the nature of the problem? A six-part typology of parental involvement developed by Dr. Joyce Epstein provided the framework for focus group discussions and interviews with Pohnpeian parents and educators on the topic. Western research methods, however, had to be applied carefully and with cross-cultural sensitivity to encourage Pohnpeian participants to reshape the framework and make it meaningful to their situation. Twelve focus groups discussed the six categories of parental involvement, so that two groups talked separately about the same topic.

Later, a composite profile for each categorical aspect of parental involvement was written by combining the summaries. Interviews were reconstructed from field notes and the written version was given to the principals for their review and comment. The findings were conclusive.

The nature of the problem, however, rests with the com.
