From Spectators to Partners: The Role of Self-Efficacy in Latina/o Immigrant Parents' Engagement in Students' Post-Secondary Planning
Cuevas, Stephany
Journal of Latinos and Education, v22 n1 p271-287 2023
Based on the experiences of 15 Latina/o undocumented parents, this qualitative study identifies three distinct ways Latina/o immigrant parents understand their role in their children's post-secondary aspirations: "confident partners," "motivational supporters," and "uncertain spectators." By comparing and contrasting these and their corresponding supportive behaviors, I argue that parents' sense of self-efficacy is a determinant factor of their engagement in their children's post-secondary planning. Thus, to best support Latina/o immigrant parents support their children in their post-secondary aspirations, it is essential that secondary schools understand the underlying mechanisms that lead parents to have different understandings of their roles in this process.
