"Quiero Lo Mejor Para Ti": Parental Acts of Care and Its Influence on Latinx College Decision-Making
Bianca Nichole Vasquez
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Indiana University
Latinx students in the United States are continuing to catch up academically (both in K-12 and post-secondary education) with their black, white, and Asian counterparts even as the Latinx population continues to increase. The literature amongst K-12 and higher education researchers continues to highlight the importance of parental engagement and involvement, in particular, the culturally specific values of "familismo" (familism) and how these values are important in fostering a college-going culture at home and in school. Given that review of the literature calls for a deeper understanding of parents' concerns, influence, and types of care enacted towards their children's schooling, the focus of this study will be to provide a space for understanding parents' acts of care towards their children. This study utilized a two-day workshop format to 1) provide information on college to Latinx parents and students; 2) provide a space for both parents and children to review their understanding of parental acts of care; and 3) process concerns from both parents and students regarding college. Focus groups included processing sessions in which the researcher and the parents created a "website" document full of important content. Analysis of the focus group and interview sessions used open coding and triangulation methods. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
