ABSTRACT

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 unclear whether home-based parental involvement is measured as the same construct across different origin groups. In this study, the psychometric properties of two parent-report questionnaires on home-based parental involvement were evaluated in 131 Dutch mothers of kindergarten-aged children, of whom 47% had a migration background. The dimensional structure of both questionnaires was tested with Principal Component Analysis. Multi-group confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to test for measurement invariance of the ‘Parenting Questionnaire’ across migration background. Results supported the multidimensional nature of home-based parental involvement, as formal and informal activities formed distinct components in the involvement of this diverse parent sample. In addition, measurement invariance was largely confirmed, indicating that parent’s involvement style can be validly measured across parents with and without a migration background in the Dutch context. Incorporating both formal and informal activities with involvement styles is recommended when measuring home-based parental involvement in different origin groups.

迁移背景和家庭父母参与教育的测量:对两个自我报告问卷的心理测量评估

摘要

以家庭为基础的父母参与早期教育与儿童发展的有益成果有关,并可能纠正与家庭背景相关的不平等教育成果。家庭教育活动的类型和父母提供支持的方式可能因有和没有移民背景的父母而异。目前尚不清楚是否以家庭为基础的父母参与在不同来源群体中被衡量为相同的结构。在这项研究中,对 131 名幼儿园年龄儿童的荷兰母亲评估了两项关于家庭父母参与的家长报告问卷的心理测量特性,其中 47% 有移民背景。两份问卷的维度结构均采用主成分分析法进行检验。进行了多组验证性因素分析,以测试跨移民背景的“育儿问卷”的测量不变性。结果支持了以家庭为基础的父母参与的多维性质,因为正式和非正式活动在这个多样化的父母样本的参与中形成了不同的组成部分。此外,测量不变性在很大程度上得到证实,表明父母的参与风格可以在荷兰背景下有和没有移民背景的父母之间有效地衡量。在衡量不同来源群体中以家庭为基础的父母参与时,建议将正式和非正式活动与参与方式结合起来。结果支持了以家庭为基础的父母参与的多维性质,因为正式和非正式活动在这个多样化的父母样本的参与中形成了不同的组成部分。此外,测量不变性在很大程度上得到证实,表明父母的参与方式可以在荷兰背景下有和没有移民背景的父母之间有效地衡量。在衡量不同来源群体中以家庭为基础的父母参与时,建议将正式和非正式活动与参与方式结合起来。结果支持了以家庭为基础的父母参与的多维性质,因为正式和非正式活动在这个多样化的父母样本的参与中形成了不同的组成部分。此外,测量不变性在很大程度上得到证实,表明父母的参与风格可以在荷兰背景下有和没有移民背景的父母之间有效地衡量。在衡量不同来源群体中以家庭为基础的父母参与时,建议将正式和非正式活动与参与方式结合起来。表明父母的参与风格可以在荷兰背景下有和没有移民背景的父母之间有效地衡量。在衡量不同来源群体中以家庭为基础的父母参与时,建议将正式和非正式活动与参与方式结合起来。表明父母的参与风格可以在荷兰背景下有和没有移民背景的父母之间有效地衡量。在衡量不同来源群体中以家庭为基础的父母参与时,建议将正式和非正式活动与参与方式结合起来。
