Milner-Bolotin, Marina; Marotto, Carlos C. F.
LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, v6 n1 p41-59 2018
This paper presents a meta-analysis of the literature on parental engagement with children's formal and informal science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. Five recurrent themes have emerged from the literature review: The challenges of supporting parents with children's STEM education; STEM education as a bridge between school and family; STEM education as a gateway for children's future economic success; STEM education as a vehicle for promoting student communication skills; and, the role of hands-on inquiry-based activities in enhancing student engagement. We also outline some international informal STEM education initiatives, their scope, challenges, and impact. [For "Parental Engagement in Children's STEM Education.
