Parental Engagement in Children's STEM Education. Part I: Meta-Analysis of the Literature
Overview & Synopsis
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.
