Abstract

In this paper, we aim to understand maternal perspectives on: (1) COVID-19 pandemic learning impacts for kindergartners from low-income households; and (2) Factors that mitigated or exacerbated impacts on learning. We conducted a qualitative study with 22 mothers of low-income households in the United States who had kindergarten-age children. Through in-depth, semi-structured interviews, mothers reflected on their experiences during the 2020-21 school year. We used an iterative approach for developing and revising codes and themes emerging from the transcribed interview data until we reached thematic saturation. Many mothers noted negative learning impacts, but some noted positive impacts that they attributed to active parental engagement in their child's learning. Mothers described several family-level and school-level supports and barriers to their child's learning. Fewer mothers described supports and barriers pertaining to their social circle or their larger community. The most commonly reported supports included: economic and social supports that allowed the time and financial means to engage actively in their child's learning, mental health supports to strengthen family functioning, and regular, timely, and open home-school communication.

母亲视角下新冠肺炎对幼儿园学习的影响:低收入家庭的定性研究
本文旨在了解母亲对以下方面的看法:(1)新冠肺炎大流行对低收入家庭幼儿园儿童学习的影响;(2)减轻或加剧对学习影响的因素。我们对22位美国低收入家庭的母亲进行了一项定性研究,这些母亲有幼儿园的孩子。通过深入的半结构化访谈,母亲们反映了她们在2020-21学年的经历。我们使用迭代方法来开发和修改从转录的采访数据中出现的代码和主题,直到我们达到主题饱和。许多母亲注意到消极的学习影响,但也有一些注意到积极的影响,她们将其归因于父母积极参与孩子的学习。母亲们描述了几个家庭层面和学校层面对孩子学习的支持和障碍。较少的母亲描述了与她们的社交圈或更大的社区有关的支持和障碍。最常见的支持包括:经济和社会支持,允许时间和经济手段积极参与孩子的学习,心理健康支持,加强家庭功能,定期、及时和开放的家庭-学校沟通。
