Download or read book Children of Immigrants in Southern Europe written by Giuseppe Gabrielli and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of successfully incorporating ethnic minorities represents a decisive challenge for modern societies. However, migratory background continues to negatively affect the life trajectories of migrants’ descendants. ‘Hard’ and ‘soft’ barriers determine long-term inequality gaps and low intergenerational social mobility in both longstanding and more recent European immigration countries. This book complements the sparse findings on education, labour market outcomes, and wellbeing relating to immigrant offspring by providing original research in order to individuate strategies for removing the obstacles that the migrants’ descendants face. Chapters offer in-depth analyses that have been performed for specific Southern European contexts to explore the specific inequality patterns that are emerging in these more recent and unexplored immigration contexts. The main findings suggest that the lower academic performances of immigrants’ descendants can be raised through language-support programmes, mentoring programmes, positive role and disciplinary climate, extra-scholastic activities, and parental involvement. Equality opportunities in education should support school-to-work transitions and better allocate the underutilised human capital reserves of migrants’ descendants. Conversely, long-lasting penalties in educational careers and integration processes may arise when children are physically separated from their parents because of delayed family reunification. This book will be a key resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of sociology, ethnic and racial studies, international politics, and migration studies. It was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.

Download or read book Mathematics Achievement of Immigrant Students written by Dirk Hastedt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-04 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the mathematics achievement of immigrant students on the basis of data from the IEA Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). It combines an analysis of large-scale assessment data with an in-depth exploration of policy studies and transforms the insights gained into recommendations on how to promote better education for students with an immigrant background. In a world defined by globalization, education systems face the challenge of providing high-quality education for an increasing number of immigrant students. This book addresses topical questions, such as the circumstances and policies that promote good education, and why some countries are more successful than others in catering for the needs of this very diverse group of students. It provides details on the differences between immigrants and non-immigrants in education, includes case studies on policies of two “successful” countries, and gives hints to policy makers for policies that can help improve the situation for immigrant students in schools.

This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EU schools are today welcoming more and more pupils from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds, becoming increasingly culturally composite. However, language problems and cultural misunderstandings have the potential to arise from diversity and different cultural and origin affiliations. Some problematic areas concerning both language and educational aspects have emerged with the integration of children from different backgrounds at school. This collection of essays explores different aspects of multicultural and intercultural education, and highlights critical features of multicultural schools in Europe today. It analyses data and new research trends to provide valuable inputs in the field of education strategy, suggesting the review of educational methods and contents to ensure high quality education and training for all children. It offers a wide range of social cases and empirical analyses in both Western and non-Western settings, and will appeal to both educators and the wider public.
