This paper reviews and critiques the literature on family engagement programmes in higher education, from the perspective of issues that may affect the design of programmes serving Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander students and their families. While there is compelling research suggesting that increasing students' family members' engagement with higher education will benefit students, it is unclear whether the concept of family engagement as it is conceived in western educational contexts can be universally and unproblematically applied in Pacific contexts. Recommendations for best practices in family engagement programme design highlight communication efforts with parents that can be characterised as fundraising and ‘friendraising’, but do not address issues specific to the experiences of under‐represented groups in higher education. Drawing on the literature and experiences of indigenous and other under‐represented students, and incorporating insights from literature on decolonising methodologies, we present considerations for authentic and culturally responsive family engagement for Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander students, families and communities.

为高等教育中的夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民STEM学生制定家庭参与计划：文献综述和评论

本文从可能影响为夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民学生及其家庭服务的课程设计的问题出发，回顾并批评了有关高等教育中的家庭参与课程的文献。尽管有令人信服的研究表明，增加学生的家庭成员对高等教育的参与将使学生受益，但目前尚不清楚西方教育环境中所设想的家庭参与概念是否可以在太平洋环境中得到普遍和毫无问题的应用。有关家庭参与计划设计最佳实践的建议强调了与父母之间的沟通努力，可以被描述为筹款和“友谊”，但并未解决高等教育中代表性不足群体的经历所特有的问题。
