Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there is sizable body of literature substantiating the significance of family values such as familism for Latino families, most research has focused on Mexican families or Latinos living in the US mainland. Research is needed to examine specific factors of familism among Puerto Rican families living on the island. The principal objective of the current study was to explore familism with specific emphasis on the academic achievement of young school children. Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Framework guided the study, where 10 married or cohabiting women were interviewed using a semi- structured qualitative approach. Mothers provided information about their perceptions of values, familism, parents as models to instill values and contributions of teachers to child's values. Findings demonstrated that familism is predictor of positive child's academic achievement. Some exceptions were found regarding family relationships and child's education. The study promotes discussion and further exploration about unique perspectives in family values.

Book Synopsis The Differential Relationships of Familism Support and Familism Obligation Values with Academic Achievement and Mental Health Among Latina/o Early Adolescents in a Charter School Network by : Kathleen M. Stanton
Download or read book The Differential Relationships of Familism Support and Familism Obligation Values with Academic Achievement and Mental Health Among Latina/o Early Adolescents in a Charter School Network written by Kathleen M. Stanton and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. born Latina/o adolescents have a disproportionately higher lifetime prevalence of mental health disorders, higher rates of school dropout, and score lower on academic achievement measures when compared to their Non-Latina/o, White or Asian peers. Given the substantial exposure to risk factors, identifying and understanding salient sources of resilience is essential to promoting and enhancing positive adjustment among Latina/o youth. Familism is a cultural value embraced by many Latina/os that has been associated with positive academic and psychosocial outcomes for Latina/os adolescents. When measured, familism commonly includes dimensions of obligation, support and family as referent. Previous studies have indicated that dimensions of familism, such as obligation and support, may differentially predict psychological well-being and academic achievement. No published studies to date have examined the differential relationships of the constructs of familism obligation and familism support values explicitly as separate predictors in the contexts of both mental health and academic achievement for Latina/o youth. The primary purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the differential predictive relationships of familism support and familism obligation values on mental health and academic achievement of Latina/o adolescents. A secondary purpose was to examine the potential moderating or mediating roles of family functioning and gender on these pathways. This study is consistent with the Cultural Ecological Transactional Theory of Resilience as a framework for describing how multiple factors may contribute to risk or resilience of Latino youth. Participants were 36 Latina/o youth between the ages of 11-15 years old in a Central Texas middle school. Results found evidence for the moderating role of family distress on the relationship between familism obligation values and GPA among both male and female Latino adolescents. Implications, limitations and areas for further research are discussed.
Book Synopsis Relationship Between Familism and Academic Self-efficacy Among Latino and Non-Latino White University Undergraduate Students by : Lisa J. Shields
Download or read book Relationship Between Familism and Academic Self-efficacy Among Latino and Non-Latino White University Undergraduate Students written by Lisa J. Shields and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efforts to increase success rates for Latino college students require a better understanding of the connection between Latino student's connection to family (familism) and their general and academic self-efficacy in order to explore a culturally inclusive view of college success. The study's participants included Latino students (N = 234) and non-Latino white students (N = 125) who were ranked as freshmen and sophomores, enrolled in randomly selected general education English sections, at a southwestern land-grant university. The purpose for the study was to (1) determine whether the level of familism was more strongly present in the families of Latino students than in the families of non-Latino white students; and (2) whether familism contributed significant variance to academic self-efficacy and general self-efficacy among this same group of students. Familism was measured by the Attitudinal Familism scale that assessed four factors: (a) familial support, (b) familial interconnectedness, (c) familial honor, and (d) subjugation of self to the family. The College Academic Self-Efficacy Scale and New General Self-Efficacy scale measured self-efficacy. Results indicate that familism was stronger among Latino students when compared to non-Latino white students in three of the four factors. Only familial interconnectedness showed similar levels for both groups. Positive meaningful relationships were found between familism and academic self-efficacy and between familism and general self-efficacy among Latino students but not for non-Latino white students. These findings offer an opportunity for looking at college success among Latino students in a different or expanded way. Discovering addition factors related to student success can inform institutions of higher education when making decisions regarding a host of institutional functions. This study adds to the limited body of knowledge and encourages important cultural conversations that have been absent on many college campuses.

Book Synopsis School Motivation and Academcic [sic] Achievement of Adolescents Living in Appalachia by : Courtney Nicole Osborne
Download or read book School Motivation and Academcic [sic] Achievement of Adolescents Living in Appalachia written by Courtney Nicole Osborne and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between several parental behaviors and family variables and school motivation and academic achievement of adolescents living in rural Appalachia. Participants were 707 students from rural Appalachian high schools. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine predictive significance of parental autonomy-granting behavior, support, monitoring, punitiveness, gender role attitudes, and familism on school motivation and academic achievement. Consistent with hypotheses and previous research, results demonstrated that traditional gender role attitudes were obstacles for school motivation and academic achievement. In addition, age-of-adolescent, gender, and fathers' level of education were significant predictors of school motivation and academic achievement. Parental support and parental autonomy-granting behavior were only selectively predictive of school motivation. Parental monitoring, punitiveness, and familism failed to predict either school motivation or academic achievement in any of the statistical models.

Book Synopsis School Systems, Parent Behavior, and Academic Achievement by : Emma Sorbring
Download or read book School Systems, Parent Behavior, and Academic Achievement written by Emma Sorbring and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume takes an international and multidisciplinary approach to understanding students’ academic achievement. It does so by integrating educational literature with developmental psychology and family studies perspectives. Each of the nine chapters focuses on a particular country: China, Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, the Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, or the United States. It describes the country as a cultural context, examines the current school system and parenting in light of the school system, and provides empirical evidence from that country regarding links between parenting and students’ academic achievement. The book highlights similarities and differences in education and parenting across these nine countries - all varying widely in socioeconomic and cultural factors that affect schools and families. The volume contributes to greater understanding of links between parenting and academic performance in different cultural groups. It sheds light on how school systems and parenting are embedded in larger cultural settings that have implications for students’ educational experiences and academic achievement. As two of the most important contexts in which children and adolescents spend time, understanding how schools and families jointly contribute to academic achievement holds promise for advancing the international agenda of promoting quality education for all.
Book Synopsis Over the Ivy Walls by : Patricia Gándara
Download or read book Over the Ivy Walls written by Patricia Gándara and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-10-31 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unique among literature on minority and Chicano academic achievement, Over the Ivy Walls focuses on factors that create academic successes rather than examining school failure. It weaves existing research on academic achievement into an analysis of the lives of 50 low-income Chicanos for whom schooling "worked" and became an important vehicle for social mobility. Gándara examines their early home lives, school experiences, and peer relations in search of clues to what "went right."

Book Synopsis Regarding Educación by : Bryant Jensen
Download or read book Regarding Educación written by Bryant Jensen and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2013-01-28 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Latino Education Crisis" not only threatens to dash the middle class aspirations of the nation's largest immigrant group, it is also an ominous sign for democratic engagement and global competitiveness for U.S. society as a whole. This timely book argues that this crisis is more aptly characterized as a "Mexican Education Crisis." This book brings together voices that are rarely heard on the same stage—Mexican and U.S. scholars of migration, schooling, and human development—to articulate a new approach to Mexican-American schooling: a bi-national focus that highlights the interpersonal assets of Mexican-origin children. Contributors document the urgency of adopting this approach and provide a framework for crossing national and disciplinary borders to improve scholarship, policy, and practice associated with PreK–12 schooling.
Book Synopsis Student Achievement and the Changing American Family by : David Waltz Grissmer
Download or read book Student Achievement and the Changing American Family written by David Waltz Grissmer and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 1994 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a considerable debate about the direction and causes of change in U.S. student performance over the last 25 years. This study (1) estimates the net effect of changing family characteristics and demographics on aptitude scores and (2) compares the expected changes to actual changes to estimate the effects of factors unrelated to family. The conclusions undercut the conventional wisdom about failing schools, deteriorating families, and ineffective public investments and policies. The study estimates that changing family characteristics would boost scores by about 7 percentile points. These gains come primarily from higher parental education and smaller family size, which translates into more resources per child. For non-Hispanic white students, the actual gains in scores were approximately the same as expected from family changes. However, black and Hispanic students made far larger gains than non-Hispanic white students, and only about one-third of the gains could be explained by changing family characteristics. These large unexplained gains for minority students may be evidence that additional public investment in schools and social programs and equal educational opportunity policies have had marked benefits. The authors caution that the results should not be interpreted to mean that conditions have improved for every student, family or school, only that averaging across all 14-18-year-old students over the last 20 years indicates a positive change.
Book Synopsis Familial, Academic, and Interpersonal Predictors of Attributional Style in Latino Youth by : Niloofar Fallah
Download or read book Familial, Academic, and Interpersonal Predictors of Attributional Style in Latino Youth written by Niloofar Fallah and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Objective: This study examined associations between family and school factors, attributional style and depressive symptoms in Latino adolescents. Familism and school social support were examined as moderators of the associations between parent-adolescent conflict, academic performance, and peer discrimination with attributional style. The association between context-specific attributional style (attributions in interpersonal vs. achievement domains) and depressive symptoms were also examined. Method: Self-reported ratings of parent-adolescent conflict, familism, academic performance, peer discrimination, school social support, attributional style and depressive symptoms were obtained from a sample of 170 middle school and high school Latino students. Results: Parent-adolescent conflict and peer discrimination significantly predicted maladaptive attributional style (overall), interpersonal attributional style, and achievement attributional style. Familism and school social support were not found to moderate these associations. Maladaptive interpersonal attributional style significantly predicted greater depressive symptoms. Conclusions: Results suggest parent-adolescent conflict and peer discrimination may significantly influence the development of maladaptive attributional styles among Latino youth. Discussion surrounds interpretation of these effects within the context of the extant literature on the etiology and treatment of depressive symptoms in Latino youth."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.
Book Synopsis Educating Everybody's Children by : Robert W. Cole W. Cole
Download or read book Educating Everybody's Children written by Robert W. Cole W. Cole and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2008-06-15 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed to promote reflection, discussion, and action among the entire learning community, Educating Everybody's Children encapsulates what research has revealed about successfully addressing the needs of students from economically, ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diverse groups and identifies a wide range of effective principles and instructional strategies. Although good teaching works well with all students, educators must develop an extensive repertoire of instructional tools to meet the varying needs of students from diverse backgrounds. Those tools and the knowledge base behind them are the foundation of this expanded and revised second edition of Educating Everybody's Children. Each strategy discussed in the book includes classroom examples and a list of the research studies that support it. The most important thing we have learned as a result of the education reform movement is that student achievement stands or falls on the motivation and skills of teachers. We must ensure that all teachers are capable of delivering a standards‐based curriculum that describes what students should know and be able to do, and that these standards are delivered by means of a rich and engaging "pedagogy of plenty." By these two acts we can ensure that all schools will be ready and able to educate everybody's children.
Book Synopsis Academic Achievement of First-Generation Mexican American Males in a Community College by : Carlos C. Peña
Download or read book Academic Achievement of First-Generation Mexican American Males in a Community College written by Carlos C. Peña and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the complexities of successful attainment and achievement of 10 Mexican American males in a rural Southwest community college. This study strives to offer insights concerning the questions: (a) what behavioral patterns of current family, peers, and conditions in school have influenced the educational decisions of these Mexican American males? and (b) what social conditions motivate these Mexican American males to seek and achieve higher education despite adversity? This qualitative research was also aimed at establishing and understanding how a selected number of Mexican American males have achieved academic success. The researcher chose 10 men with either an associate of arts or an associate of science degrees for an in-depth interview and used a semi-structured interview guide in an effort to prompt oral discourse. The interviewer posed questions concerning academic conditions, family impact, college environment, and financial issues. The responses to the questions led to similar themes involved in these students' course completion and graduation. The researcher used a theoretical framework using Bandura's Social Learning Theory (1977) in which he suggests that not only environmental factors, but motivational factors along with self-regulatory mechanisms affect an individual's behavior. This research illustrated the conditions that facilitated reaching the participant's educational goal and mission, which was to complete a two-year degree at the community college. The inquiry examined the behavioral patterns that have been an influence on the educational decisions of these Mexican American males, and what social conditions have motivated them to seek and achieve higher education despite adversity.
