- Summary:
-
This chapter focuses on the innermost level of Bronfenbrenner's four-level conception of the human environmental ecology, namely the microsystem, and more specifically, the child's socialization in the family. Following discussion of concepts related to socialization, competence, and environmental ecology, selected research studies are reviewed to illuminate various factors within the family setting that may influence Chicano children's academic development. Such factors include the mother-child relationship, maternal teaching behaviors, mother's educational attainment, family size and sibling structure, socioeconomic status, home language, single parenting, home environmental processes (parent behaviors), and parent beliefs and aspiration. Also reviewed are intervention experiments that involved training parents to adopt behaviors that facilitated their children's academic success, and studies of the effects of parents' beliefs on boys' and girls' mathematics achievement. In addition to the family, the microsystem contains other settings that can be important socializers and determinants of academic development, including the school itself, the peer group, and the media. More research is needed to examine how the socialization process interacts with other levels of the environmental ecology to create and maintain patterns of ethnic group differences in academic learning, scholastic motivation, and movement through the schooling process. Contains 139 references. (SV)
