This chapter by Professor Yoko Yamamoto reviews parental practices and beliefs centered around children’s learning and education among East Asian parents, including East Asian immigrant parents.
Professor Christopher Cleveland and co-authors examine the predictive power of various student metrics on long-term educational success, finding that while survey-based cognitive and self-regulation measures initially correlate with high school and college outcomes, traditional indicators like test scores, GPA, and attendance-related factors provide stronger and more reliable predictions.
In this chapter, Professors Yoko Yamamoto and Jin Li, along with their co-author, examine East Asian immigrant parents' involvement in their children's education, with a particular focus on family-school relationships. Their research highlights the diverse models of family-school engagement that shape immigrant families’ motivations and approaches to supporting their children's learning both at home and in school.
In this paper, Professors Yoko Yamamoto and Jin Li, along with their co-authors, examine young children's perspectives on parental support for children's learning (PSCL) within Chinese immigrant families. While extensive research has explored PSCL in these communities—primarily from the parents' perspective—there is little insight into how young children themselves perceive and experience this support.
Teacher training is costly and sometimes ineffective, especially if teachers are not fully engaged. In this paper, Professor Pierre de Galbert and his co-authors present findings from a randomized evaluation of an incentivized online teacher training program implemented in Bangladesh during COVID-related school closures. One treatment group received training and the other also received a moderate financial incentive.
