The purpose of this research is to study the home processes related to children's interest and proficiency in mathematics, and to assess the extent to which these processes are changed through a program designed to help parents become more effective partners in their children's mathematics learning. The project will focus on families in FAMILY MATH programs across the country, specifically: low-income, inner-city minority and majority families in the San Francisco Bay Area; Hispanics (through Valle del Sol in Arizona); American Indians (through the Oregon Indian Education Association); and urban blacks (through the Urban League in Indianapolis, Indiana). Over 200 families will be included in the study. Research questions posed for this study are: How does FAMILY MATH influence the parents' confidence, and competence as partners in their children's learning? How does participation in the program change the families; math-related activities? Do parents increase their involvement in their children's formal mathematics learning? To what degree does participation in the program affect children's school mathematics learning? The study has implications for future research on the factors influencing student achievement in mathematics, as it will help us understand how families can be an important resource in our efforts to improve student interest and competence in mathematics. Results will help us understand how home processes are different in special minority groups, what differences in patterns of change we might realistically expect when working with these special groups, and how programs might be modified to become more effective in communities where the children's needs for a "better chance" in mathematics education are particularly great.

本研究的目的是研究家庭的过程， 与儿童对数学的兴趣和熟练程度有关， 并评估这些过程改变的程度 通过一项旨在帮助父母变得更有效的计划 在孩子的数学学习中的伙伴。 项目 将专注于家庭数学计划的家庭， 国家，特别是：低收入，内城少数民族和 在旧金山弗朗西斯科湾区占多数的家庭;西班牙裔 （通过亚利桑那州的瓦莱）;美洲印第安人（通过 俄勒冈州印第安人教育协会）和城市黑人（通过 城市联盟在印第安纳波利斯，印第安纳州）。 超过200个家庭 将被纳入研究。 本研究提出的研究问题是： 家庭数学影响父母的信心和能力， 在孩子的学习过程中的伙伴？ 如何参与 该计划改变了家庭;与数学有关的活动？ 做 父母增加他们对孩子的正式参与 数学学习？ 在多大程度上参与 程序会影响孩子的学校数学学习吗？ 这项研究对未来的研究具有启示意义。 影响学生数学成绩的因素， 将帮助我们理解家庭是如何成为一种重要的资源 在我们努力提高学生的兴趣和能力， 数学 结果将帮助我们了解家庭如何处理 在特殊的少数群体中是不同的， 我们在工作时可能实际期望的变化模式 这些特殊群体，以及如何修改程序， 在那些儿童的需求 在数学教育中获得“更好的机会”， 太好了
