Playing games occupies an essential place throughout life, particularly in childhood. With technological advances, urbanization, and the reduction of playgrounds, children's engagement with digital games has steadily increased. This shift highlights the importance of raising parental awareness about children's digital game preferences and gaming…

About one in five (18 percent) undergraduate students are parents. Despite the fact that student parents represent a sizable portion of the undergraduate student population, most four-year colleges continue to cater to "traditional" students who are 18-24 years old, are not employed full-time, and do not have dependent children.…

Using complete-count register data spanning three generations, we document spatial patterns in inter- and multi-generational mobility in Sweden. Across municipalities, grandfather-child correlations in education or earnings tend to be larger than the square of the parent-child correlations, suggesting that the latter understate status transmission…

Background: Previous studies probing parent-child dynamics in decision-making situations are limited by their survey-based approach, and thus cannot identify factors beyond the choices available in the survey instrument or more deeply interrogate the process inherent in parent-child interactions. Methods: Using interview data from 50 Chinese…

In this article, by deriving detailed consequences from the Kantian principle of treating people as ends in themselves, I propose how it works through the psychological constructs of self-acceptance and self-concept development. Unconditional self-acceptance, based on non-judgmental awareness of thoughts and feelings, is important in education and…

This study addresses the critical issue of mathematical underperformance among preschoolers in Yopal Casanare, Colombia, through the perspective of an action research project. It focuses on the design and implementation of a didactic unit aimed at promoting numerical thinking, specifically seriation and structured counting, in preschool students.…

Education research and policy has paid significant attention to parent-school relationships; however, this work almost completely lacks any consideration of diverse family structures. This research confronts an important gap in the educational literature: the extent to which diverse families, in particular separated parents, are both acknowledged…

For more than 15 years, EdChoice has conducted polling as a core part of their research. They've sought to better understand where American parents and the public stand on K-12 education issues ranging from educational choice, to technology, to school safety, to school choice policies. In 2013, after several years of exclusively conducting and…

This study aimed to describe the associations between home caregiving, learning opportunities, socio-demographic factors, and the early development of children aged 24-59 months. Data were drawn from the 2021 Fiji UNICEF Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey, which included the…

There were mixed results about the relationship between parental educational aspirations and students' academic achievement. Parental educational aspirations, expectations and aspiration-expectation gap have internal association. To gain deeper insights about them, the present study aimed to explore the effects of parental educational aspirations,…

Home-based parental involvement in early education is linked to beneficial outcomes in children's development and may redress unequal educational outcomes associated with family background. The type of educational activities at home and the way parents provide their support may differ across parents with and without a migration background. It is…

The paper argues that the mother's association with the child's schooling and educational needs is not just limited and peculiar to the middle-class families, as the literature suggests, but it is increasingly true of poor and working-class families too. This paper discusses how mothers from a poor neighbourhood in India straddle between household…

Latinx students are pursuing college at historically high rates; however, completion rates for this population are not keeping pace. With these students disproportionately attending community colleges, 2-year college leaders are striving to break down barriers and identify support systems that increase Latinx student success. Two factors found to…

The goals of this study were to investigate (a) the dyadic relations of mothers' and children's perceptions of children's anxiety symptoms across development, (b) whether maternal perceptions of children's anxiety serve as a mediator of the association between maternal anxiety and child anxiety, and (c) whether sensitive/structured parenting…

Dual language education programs have become increasingly popular among elementary schools across the country. These programs are touted to represent a promise of a more equitable education for children whose parents are immigrants or whose first languages are not English. Nonetheless, these programs are also known to have appeal to monolingual…
