Book excerpt: Everyday across America, parents have to make decisions about what toys to buy for their children. Yet, research has not explicitly accounted for how parents navigate choosing toys for their daughters in the new climate that encourages girls to enter STEM fields. These new conditions may impact the way parents negotiate the purchasing of STEM toys for their daughters. This study uses quantitative analysis of survey data to analyze three sets of relationships: how mothers’ experience affects toy selection for her daughter, how mothers’ attitudes affect toy selection for her daughter, and how mothers’ experience and attitudes affect each other. My primary question found no relationship between mothers’ job experience and toy selection for her daughter as well as some relationship between the mothers’ childhood experience and toy selection for her daughter. I also found some relationship between the mothers’ STEM attitudes and toy selection for her daughter in addition to the mothers’ gender attitudes and toy selection for her daughter. I also explore the relationship between mothers’ experiences and her attitudes. These findings shed light on if toys are a way to make the world more equal for girls in a world where they are encouraged to pursue STEM fields.
Download or read book Exploring Parental Attitudes and Behaviors Towards Involvement in STEM Education written by Alison Francis and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is an abundance of research on family STEM learning in community spaces such as museums and zoos which identifies the ways in which families interact during visits and provides best practices for program developers (Tuttle et al., 2017; Wood & Wolf, 2010; Zimmerman & McClain, 2016). However, little is known about early childhood family STEM learning in public schools and the ways in which these programs influence parental beliefs about and behaviors towards STEM education. Using Bronfenbrenner's (1995) bioecological model this qualitative study explores parental perceptions about the micro and macrosystems, the relationships of the persons within and between these contexts, and the processes occurring. Data were collected through face to face interviews with nine parents who participated in a Family STEM program with at least one child between the ages of 3-5. The results identified two themes and six sub-themes. The two themes are microsystems and parent behaviors. Parents identified attributes of the microsystem which they believed enhanced their enjoyment and their children's STEM learning. These findings confirm the importance of the microsystem on proximal processes and outcomes. Additionally, parents shared how STEM programming influenced what they believed their role to be in their children's education, their participation in child-centered activities, and the specific ways in which they interacted with their children. These findings are significant because they highlight how early childhood family STEM programs can positively influence parents' behaviors in their children's STEM education"--Author's abstract.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this handbook is to demystify art for parents and teachers and to help them understand what the art experience is like for the child/adolescent. The book discusses visual art concepts in simple terms and presents art as a vehicle for educationally transformative experiences. The book also provides sample dialogs between adults and children for parents and teachers who wish to help children approach art projects creatively. The "I can't draw syndrome" is explained and stages of artistic development are discussed from scribbling to adolescent art. The text also offers ideas and projects to help adults support the authentic vision of the child/adolescent throughout all the stages. Major sections include: the art experience, creativity and the child, stages of artistic development, keeping creativity alive, art projects for children ages 2 to 12, and art projects for adolescents ages 12 to 17. Also provided are an appendix on art materials and safety information and a glossary. At the core of this book is the belief that children are born artists and that artistic talent emerges from the interplay of proclivity, cultural enrichment, and nurturance. This exceptional handbook will raise consciousness and foster understanding about the nature of the art experience, and it will help adults find ways to keep the creative process alive at home and in the classroom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore the manner in which parents' attitudes toward science learning influences their children's attitudes and the effect of ethnicity on attitudes toward science learning. The results of this study show that parental attitudes toward science learning were influenced by both parents' early life experiences and their own early science learning experiences in school. Also in this study, even though the parents' attitudes, as seen across ethnicities, were found to be positive toward science learning, their attitudes failed to be transformed into serious actions taken to influence their children's attitudes toward science learning. In the absence of real parental involvement, parents' attitudes, displayed as beliefs and intentions, have been found to be of limited importance in influencing either student attitudes or attainments. Cultural, ethnic and social effects were found difficult to measure. In sum, this study concluded that there are three major factors that could heavily influence student academic success in science across cultures and ethnicities: (a) parental attitudes toward science education (b) parental involvement in science education and (c) parents' social stratification. Parents' subculture and social construction block or promote many opportunities for individual performance. (Contains 2 tables and 2 figures.).
Download or read book Possible Links Between Parent Occupation and Children s Academic Success written by Chelsea Dyann Moore and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Status attainment literature has established links between parent occupation and the academic success of children for decades. Most studies measure these occupational effects with occupational prestige. However, our goal is to understand how parent occupation is affecting children's educational outcomes by using data from the PSID to examine the relationship between parents in STEM occupations and their children's math achievement and attitudes. We find that fathers in STEM occupations have a significant effect on children's math achievement, but not math attitudes, and this effect does little to explain the occupational prestige effect.

Download or read book Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The technology revolution has made it critical for all children to understand science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) or risk being left behind. Promising Practices for Engaging Families in STEM Learning explores how families, schools, and communities can join together to promote student success in STEM by building organized and equitable pathways for family engagement across all of the settings in which students learn - including, schools, early childhood programs, homes, libraries and museums -from the earliest years through adolescence. This thought-provoking monograph includes three main sections with chapters from leading thinkers in the field: - The first section provides the theoretical and research base for the importance of family engagement in STEM and draws out the challenges and opportunities that exist- from the transmission of adults' anxiety and lack of confidence in their own STEM skills, to inequalities in out-of-school learning opportunities, to biases and misconceptions about the kinds of STEM supports offered by families from low-income and immigrant homes. - The second section builds on this research by presenting success stories, best practices, and approaches to engaging families in STEM. - The final section focuses on how policies at the local, state, and federal level can support the promotion of family engagement in STEM. Taken together, the monograph shows that STEM is a powerful mechanism to connect, engage, and empower families. - STEM provides opportunities for parents and children to spend time together asking fun and meaningful questions that link in-and out-of-school learning. - STEM creates new experiences for families to co-construct and support learning with their children from the earliest years throughout formal schooling and onto college and career pathways. - STEM also presents possibilities for families to build confidence and agency in supporting children's interests; especially those families who might be marginalized because of their economic or language status, race, or culture.
