Download or read book Children s School Related Talk in Chinese Immigrant Families written by Yiren Guo and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parental school involvement has been advocated as a way of sharing the responsibility for children's education. It contributes to children's academic development and supports the development of self-regulation skills and self-efficacy in studying. As one of the forms of parental school involvement, parents' school-related talk with children is a straightforward way to get involved in school life. Parents become familiar with children's school lives, get to know what happens in school, and learn what children are thinking by talking with them. Among the many ethnic groups of immigrants to the U.S., Asian students usually have higher academic achievement than other minority students. The reason why they adapt well to school work and excel among peers has often been attributed to their home environments. In Asian homes, parents provide educational activities and convey high educational expectations to children. Therefore, this book focuses on studying parent-child school-related talk in Chinese immigrant families.

Download or read book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother written by Amy Chua and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-12-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lot of people wonder how Chinese parents raise such stereotypically successful kids. They wonder what Chinese parents do to produce so many math whizzes and music prodigies, what it's like inside the family, and whether they could do it too. Well, I can tell them, because I've done it... Amy Chua's daughters, Sophia and Louisa (Lulu) were polite, interesting and helpful, they had perfect school marks and exceptional musical abilities. The Chinese-parenting model certainly seemed to produce results. But what happens when you do not tolerate disobedience and are confronted by a screaming child who would sooner freeze outside in the cold than be forced to play the piano? Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is a story about a mother, two daughters, and two dogs. It was supposed to be a story of how Chinese parents are better at raising kids than Western ones. But instead, it's about a bitter clash of cultures, a fleeting taste of glory, and how you can be humbled by a thirteen-year-old. Witty, entertaining and provocative, this is a unique and important book that will transform your perspective of parenting forever.
Download or read book Cross Cultural Schooling Experiences of Chinese Immigrant Families written by Shijing Xu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-06-28 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the concept of reciprocal educational learning among cultures with very different historical and philosophical origins. The concept of reciprocal learning grows out of a four year study of immigrant Chinese family narrative experiences in a Western context. This book captures the lived moments of such transitional lives both in and out of school settings to demonstrate why a child would appear and disappear from different caregivers’ purview. Through the narrative lens of student and family life, the study illustrates the intersection of Confucian and Western philosophies of education and how their interaction creates complications as well as benefits for both traditions, hence, the idea of reciprocal learning.
Download or read book Acculturation Communication and Parent child Relationships in Asian Immigrant Families written by Elizabeth Y. Lin and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little is known about the factors related to the quality of parent-chld relationships in Asian immigrant families. Hence, the present study was conducted to examine the associations between the parent-child acculturative gap, quality of communication, and quality of parent-child relationships in a sample of 141 Asian American adolescents. Contrary to previous research, the parent-child acculturative gap did not correlate with quality of parent-child relationship. In contrast, communication was highly correlated with relationship quality. Parent-child acculturative gap and communication were negatively correlated in mother-child relationships but had no significant correlation in father-child relationships. Associations between variables did not differ between male and female adolescents or between mother-child and father-child relationships.
Download or read book Parental Involvement in Childhood Education written by Garry Hornby and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-04-07 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parental participation has long been recognized as a positive factor in children’s education. Research consistently shows that parents’ contributions to their children’s education lead to improvements in their academic and behavioral outcomes, from elementary through middle and secondary school. Recognizing the critical role of school psychologists in this equation, Parental Involvement in Childhood Education clearly sets out an evidence-based rationale and blueprint for building parental involvement and faculty awareness. The author’s starting point is the gap between the ideals found in the literature and the reality of parental involvement in schools. An ecological analysis identifies professional, institutional, and societal factors that keep schools and parents distant. Methods for evaluating parental involvement are detailed, as is a model for developing and maintaining strong parental relationships at the instructor, school, and education system level, with an emphasis on flexible communication and greater understanding of parents’ needs. This empirically sound coverage offers readers: A detailed understanding of obstacles to parental involvement. An evidence-based model for parental participation. A three-nation study of parental involvement practices in schools. Guidelines for implementing parental involvement activities and initiatives. A review of effective communication strategies with parents. Analysis of key interpersonal skills for effective work with parents. Parental Involvement in Childhood Education is essential reading for practitioners and researchers in school psychology and counseling, social work, and educational psychology, whether they work directly with schools or in providing training for teachers and other professionals who work with children and their parents.

Download or read book Chinese Immigrants Parents and Children s Perspectives and Behaviors in Extra curriculum Music Learning written by Junyi Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music training has become a popular subject within out-of-school academic learning in most Asian families. After immigrating to Canada, Chinese parents often maintain their enthusiasm for music education and put their children in music activities. It is imperative to investigate these parents' needs and expectations regarding their children's education and examine how these expectations shape the educational experiences of their children. The purpose of the current research is to examine the perceptions of Chinese immigrant parents and children in regards to private music education, and how those perspectives drive their behaviors. Data were collected through one-on-one interviews. The research findings indicate some fundamental issues influence the relationship between the parents and children during the music education. The study also got into the discussion of what an ideal parent-children relation look like and how the parents could help children to reach their music goal successfully.
Download or read book Chinese Immigrant Children s First Year of Schooling written by Tiffany Min-Tzu Liao and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines Chinese immigrant parents' educational experience and expectations of their children's first year of primary schooling in New Zealand. Study suggests that there is a lack of partnership concerning educational practices and goals among the teachers and the parents which results in Chinese immigrant parents' educational dissatisfaction. The parents exhibited concerns over the communication between the parents and the teachers in relation to children's learning content and progress. They were also dissatisfied about the lack of homework, discipline, and system-wide learning materials for their children's learning. They identified problems such as language, communication, and socialisation as their children's common experience. In conclusion, the research proposes that teachers should take the initiative to understand and appreciate the differences between their own and Chinese immigrant parents' educational expectations, practices, as well as their underpinning values. In order to achieve effective parent-teacher partnerships and foster positive learning experience for children, Chinee immigrant families' values, beliefs, expectations and practices need to be better understood.
Download or read book Hopes and Dreams written by Carol Wallace Bateman (‡e author) and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parents’ aspirations play a vital role in children’s education and development during the early years (Ministry of Education, 1996, 2017). The early childhood curriculum Te Whāriki promotes respect for the aspirations families hold for their children and calls on teachers to build meaningful connections with all families. The purpose of this research was to identify the aspirations of Chinese immigrant parents for their children in New Zealand education and care settings through investigating relationships between Chinese immigrant parents and early childhood teachers in relation to realizing these aspirations and to understand how teachers respond to these aspirations in practice. This research also aimed to contribute to knowledge about developing culturally responsive relationships between parents and teachers, specifically to foster culturally responsive reciprocal relationships between Chinese immigrant parents and early childhood teachers in early childhood settings. This is in keeping with the early childhood curriculum Te Whariki (Ministry of Education, 1996, 2017). An interpretive qualitative narrative inquiry methodology was used to gather rich data from individual semi-structured in depth interviews and written narratives with four teachers and three Chinese immigrant parents from two early childhood settings in New Zealand. Writing as a method of inquiry was also employed by the researcher and a feminist Ethic of Care conceptual framework was used to interpret the findings. The findings highlighted complex tensions and alignments between Chinese immigrant parents and early childhood teachers’ viewpoints in relation to the aspirations Chinese immigrant parents’ hold for their children in early childhood education in New Zealand. Together this mix of cultural and philosophical perspectives culminated in a communication trade gap or cultural gap where critical beliefs, knowledge and understandings of both Chinese immigrant parents and early childhood teachers sit. This study concludes that a feminist Ethic of Care framework may facilitate an alternative means for the mutual exchange of Chinese immigrant parents and teachers’ perspectives in order to realize the aspirations of Chinese immigrant parents and to foster culturally responsive caring, equitable and reciprocal relationships.
Download or read book Composing Storylines of Possibilities written by Martha J. Strickland and published by IAP. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, internationally migrant families invite us to listen to the storylines of their mostly muted voices as they navigate the local schools in their new cultural context. They call us to hear them as they grapple with issues they encounter. They implore us to feel like an outsider and see the school as a foreign culture with language and communication barriers. The book is organized to enhance this carework. Each chapter begins with a vignette that includes the voices of one or more members of international migrating families, while introducing the context of the chapter. At the end of each chapter readers will find specific implications to consider. These are constructed with preservice teachers, practicing teachers, and educational administrators in mind. As you read each chapter, there is the call for school transformation. The families in this book entreat school personnel to engage with international migrant families and to embrace a risk and resilience model as we strive together for success. These storylines challenge us to examine our personal storylines for biases and deficit understandings and call us all to purposefully rewrite these in the spirit of possibilities as the families in this book have embodied for us.
Download or read book Parental Involvement in Early Childhood Education Among Chinese Immigrant and English Speaking Non Chinese Parents in New Zealand written by Qilong Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study compared 120 Chinese immigrant parents and 127 English speaking non-Chinese parents on their parental involvement in early childhood education (ECE), and investigated the role of parenting beliefs, parenting practices, and demographic variables on the level of parental involvement. Parental involvement was measured with the Parental Family Involvement Questionnaire, which was administered to all parents, and interview data collected from 50 parents about reasons for early childhood education involvement. Parenting beliefs and practices were assessed with the Parental Role Construction for Involvement in the Child's Education Scale: Role Activity Beliefs, the Parental Sense of Competence Scale, and the Parenting Styles and Dimension Questionnaire (PSDQ). ECE practices to encourage parental involvement were also examined from interviews conducted with 30 kindergarten head teachers. Results showed that Chinese immigrant parents were less likely than non-Chinese parents to communicate with teachers, volunteer to help at the kindergarten, and participate in kindergarten decision making. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that, for the whole sample, role construction and self-efficacy were important predictors of communicating with teachers, volunteering to help at the kindergarten, and participating in kindergarten decision making. For the Chinese sample only, perceived opportunity for involvement, parent education and English language proficiency predicted communication with teachers, and opportunity for involvement was the only significant predictor of participating in kindergarten decision making. Parent interviews corroborated and supplemented these findings. Teacher interviews highlighted a range of communication strategies, policies and systems used by kindergartens to encourage parental involvement. Based on findings from parents and teachers this thesis makes some tentative recommendations for early childhood services, particularly about ways to increase Chinese immigrant parents' level of ECE involvement, such as helping Chinese immigrant parents to understand the importance of parental involvement, suggestions for enhancing the parenting confidence of Chinese immigrant parents, and their perceptions of opportunity for involvement, employing bilingual staff, and developing relationships with Chinese immigrant parents.
