Abstract

This study examined associations between the availability of neighborhood institutional resources and the fifth grade math achievement of children from Mexican immigrant families and if these associations were moderated by their parents' educational involvement. With data on two cohorts of children from Mexican immigrant families (N ∼ 880 and 1460, M_age ∼ 5 years at kindergarten entry, 50 % girls) from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Cohorts: 1998/1999 and 2010/2011, multilevel regression results revealed positive associations between the availability of educational non-profits organizations and children's math achievement across cohorts and mixed results for other neighborhood-based institutions. Some neighborhood institutional resources were differently associated with children's math achievement by parents' educational involvement in the 1998 cohort only. The findings suggest that neighborhood educational non-profit organizations may play a positive role in promoting Mexican immigrant children's math achievement. They also highlight the need for future research on resource access, usage, and quality, and for building effective family-neighborhood partnerships that bolster the benefits of neighborhood resources for Mexican immigrant children.

墨西哥移民儿童的数学成绩：邻里机构资源和父母的教育参与

本研究探讨了邻里机构资源的可用性与墨西哥移民家庭儿童五年级数学成绩之间的关联，以及这些关联是否受其父母教育参与度的调节。研究使用了两组墨西哥移民家庭儿童（人数分别为 880 人和 1460 人，入园时年龄为 5 岁，50% 为女孩）的数据，这些数据来自 "幼儿纵向研究"（Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Cohorts）：多层次回归结果显示，教育非营利组织的可用性与各组群儿童的数学成绩之间存在正相关关系，而与其他邻里机构之间的关系则不尽相同。一些邻里机构资源与儿童数学成绩的相关性因父母的教育参与度而异，仅在 1998 年的组群中存在。研究结果表明，邻里非营利性教育组织在提高墨西哥移民儿童的数学成绩方面可能起到积极作用。研究结果还强调，今后有必要对资源的获取、使用和质量进行研究，并建立有效的家庭-邻里伙伴关系，以加强邻里资源对墨西哥移民儿童的益处。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on two key concepts: human development, which refers to the psychological transformations and modifications that occur during the life cycle and influence an individual behavior within the social milieu; and application of knowledge, which is derived from investigating variables in the developmental process. Its contributions cover research that deals with traditional life span markets (age, social roles, biological status, environmental variables) and broadens the scopes of study to include variables that promote understanding of psychological processes and their onset and development within the life span. Most importantly.
