Abstract:

Parents are often criticized for the types of roles they play in their children’s education. Rather than assuming parents do not contribute to their children’s learning, this study identified the various ways Hispanic parents support mathematics learning in the home. Using a funds of knowledge lens, the history, practices, and experiences of families that contributed to their children’s mathematics understanding was explored. The purpose of this study was to identify the unique funds of knowledge among three Hispanic families living in the same city, specifically, how parents supported their c

Abstract:

When teachers are charged with educating students that are racially, culturally, or economically different from them, they may have little information on the culture and type of family involvement of their students. This lack of information contributes to perceptions of working-class families as socially disorganized and intellectually deficient. However, research embodying the theoretical framework funds of knowledge (FoK) attempts to counter deficient models through its assertion that all families possess extensive bodies of knowledge that have developed through social, historical, political

Abstract:

Literacy as a critical tool for understanding the relationship among text, self, and world (Freire, 1987, p. 30) is vital in order for students to relate their own reality with that of the characters'; for students to read their world while they read the word, as Freire and Macedo (1987) would put it. For over three years, I have met with a group of women (Las Senoras1 to explore their views of themselves and how they relate to the school and society around them.

Abstract:

Traditionally, the field of education has often adopted a negative perspective in their views of minority families’ contributions to the educational progress of their children. However, research embodying the theoretical framework of ‘funds of knowledge’ attempts to counter that model through its assertion that all families possess extensive bodies of knowledge that have developed through social, historical, and cultural contexts. Teachers carry out studies of familial funds of knowledge in order to understand how family experiences shape the knowledge that a child brings to the classroom.

How can they become involved in their children's schooling when the children attend school in a language foreign to the parents?

Abstract:

The main challenge of this thesis, presented as a compendium of publications, is to address the phenomenon of school failure and the lack of meaning of formal learning, from the perspective of funds of knowledge and identity, identity artefacts and the establishment of educational continuities. In this respect, this perspective is applied for the first time in the field of formal education in an Open Access Centre in Ciudad Meridiana (Barcelona). The participants are young people between 15 and 22 years’ old at social risk or in situations of vulnerability. In this regard, the first of the psy

Abstract:

Bakgrund: I Sverige finns det ett stort intresse för privat fondsparande. De svenska storbankerna erbjuder ett flertal fonder och utgör den huvudsakliga andelen av den svenska fondmarknaden. Fondförvaltares mål med en aktiv fond är att generera en högre avkastning jämfört med dess jämförelseindex, men tidigare forskning har visat att de svenska storbankernas aktiva fonder sällan presterar bättre än jämförelseindex. Syfte: Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka varför privatpersoner behåller fondinnehav i de svenska storbankernas aktiva fonder trots att tidigare studier visar att dessa fon

Abstract:

Every year many immigrant families become members of United States communities. Among these are international graduate students whose lives and identities, as well as those of their families, are changed as they negotiate between cultures and experiences. In this study, three Saudi graduate students share their stories about culture, education and literacy. This research employs narrative inquiry to answer the following question: What stories do Saudi immigrant students tell regarding their educational beliefs and experiences, as well as the experiences of their children in the U.S. and in Sa

Abstract:

Family-school partnerships are pivotal in children’s education, especially in early years of school. In Western Australia. The early years of school encompasses three-and-a-half-year-old children in Kindergarten, a non-compulsory year of school that has been administrated and on schools’ sites for the last 40 years. Despite substantial representation in Western Australian (WA) schools, culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) families' perspectives on school connections and how schools form partnerships and engage them in their child’s learning remains understudied.
