"Pa'lante, Siempre Pa'lante": Pedagogies of the Home among Puerto Rican College Educated Families
International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v32 n6 p576-590 2019
Research focused on Latinas/os in higher education often examines patterns of failure, while neglecting factors that contribute to Latina/o generational familial success. This article focuses on intergenerational strategies taught within college-educated Puerto Rican households that assist in academic achievement and success in higher education. Delgado Bernal theorized pedagogies of the home to explain co-constructed cultural knowledge within Chicana/o households to challenge deficit perspectives. Through analysis of educational oral histories of four college-educated Puerto Rican families, pedagogies of the home are extended. The Puerto Rican college-educated children demonstrate "sin pelos en la lengua" (without mincing words), "contradictions among college completers," and "pa'lante siempre pa'lante" (always moving forward) as strategies employed in navigating higher education. In rearticulating, pedagogies of the home for the Puerto Rican community, institutions of higher education can better respond to the various experiences of Latinas/os.
