Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to qualitatively explore the home mathematical environment across two regions in two different countries (i.e., Cuba and Mexico), replicating a qualitative study previously conducted in Northern Ireland (NI), United Kingdom (Cahoon et al., 2017). Semi-structured interviews with parents/caregivers of children (3- to 5-year-olds) in both Mexico (n = 13) and Cuba (n = 40) were completed to investigate their views, experiences and attitudes towards the home mathematical environment. Thematic analysis was used to explore themes relevant to the home mathematical environment. Three consistent themes were found in the Mexican and Cuban data: Numeracy Environment Structure, Expectations and Attitudes and Views of Technology. Two unique themes were found in the Mexico data: Interactions Related to Reading or Mathematics, and Child's Attitudes in Relation to Mathematics. One unique theme was found in the Cuban interviews: Interactions for Learning. Although diverse themes were identified, consistencies were also observed. This suggests that some home numeracy practices may be universal in nature. This research increases the understanding of human development in context.

家长对家庭数学环境的看法和体验：跨国研究

本研究旨在对两个不同国家（即古巴和墨西哥）两个地区的家庭数学环境进行定性探索，复制之前在英国北爱尔兰（NI）进行的一项定性研究（Cahoon et al.）对墨西哥（n = 13）和古巴（n = 40）儿童（3-5 岁）的父母/照顾者进行了半结构式访谈，以调查他们对家庭数学环境的看法、经验和态度。专题分析用于探讨与家庭数学环境相关的主题。在墨西哥和古巴的数据中发现了三个一致的主题：数学环境结构、期望和态度以及对技术的看法。在墨西哥的数据中发现了两个独特的主题：与阅读或数学有关的互动，以及儿童对数学的态度。古巴的访谈中有一个独特的主题：为学习而互动。虽然发现了不同的主题，但也观察到了一致性。这表明，一些家庭算术实践可能具有普遍性。这项研究加深了人们对人类发展背景的了解。
