Families play a crucial role in supporting and enhancing children’s academic, behavioral, and social-emotional development. Prior studies have consistently demonstrated numerous positive associations between family engagement and children’s learning, including minority students in urban areas, rural children, and across gender. Despite these positive findings, most of what is known is based on assessing the effects of family engagement (i.e., parent involvement and family-school partnerships) on children’s broad learning (e.g., general academic achievement). Large-scale reviews have paid little to no attention to how family engagement can specifically be used to support critical student STEM outcomes (e.g., STEM participation and motivation, math and science achievement). Further, little is known regarding how, for whom, and under what conditions family engagement interventions can be most effective. Uncovering the effectiveness, supportive conditions, and key elements that promote family engagement is especially timely and critical for historically marginalized students who have experienced disproportionate setbacks in math and science learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.This synthesis study includes a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of research published since 2001 evaluating the impact of family engagement interventions on student STEM outcomes. The goal of this project is to (a) determine the effectiveness of family engagement interventions on STEM outcomes, (b) identify practices/components within interventions that are most effective for promoting STEM outcomes, and (c) reveal the extent to which the effects of family engagement interventions vary as a function of study quality and/or certain child, family, and community characteristics. This synthesis will include studies that employ experimental group design and single-case design research. Methods will include multivariate random-effects models with robust variance estimation, moderation analyses, and assessments of bias and missing data. Findings from this synthesis will create foundational knowledge, and provide school personnel and families with evidence-based practices to support student STEM learning and motivation. Additionally, exploring for whom and under what conditions family engagement interventions are most effective will inform targeted practices aimed at supporting disenfranchised students and families.The Discovery Research preK-12 program (DRK-12) seeks to significantly enhance the learning and teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by preK-12 students and teachers, through research and development of innovative resources, models and tools. Projects in the DRK-12 program build on fundamental research in STEM education and prior research and development efforts that provide theoretical and empirical justification for proposed projects. This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

家庭在支持和促进儿童的学业、行为和社会情感发展方面发挥着至关重要的作用。先前的研究一直表明，家庭参与与儿童学习之间存在许多积极的联系，包括城市地区的少数民族学生、农村儿童和不同性别的儿童。尽管有这些积极的发现，但已知的大多数情况是基于评估家庭参与(即父母参与和家庭-学校伙伴关系)对儿童广泛学习(例如，一般学业成绩)的影响。大规模的审查很少或根本没有注意到家庭参与如何具体用于支持关键的学生STEM结果(例如，STEM的参与和动机、数学和科学成就)。此外，关于家庭参与干预如何、对谁以及在什么条件下最有效，人们知之甚少。揭示家庭参与干预的有效性、支持条件和关键要素，对于那些在新冠肺炎期间在数学和科学学习上经历了不成比例的挫折的历史边缘化学生来说，尤为及时和关键。这项综合性研究包括对2001年以来发表的评估家庭参与干预对学生STEM结果影响的研究进行全面、系统的回顾和荟萃分析。该项目的目标是(A)确定家庭参与干预措施对STEM结果的有效性，(B)确定干预措施中最有效地促进STEM结果的做法/组成部分，以及(C)揭示家庭参与干预措施的效果随研究质量和/或某些儿童、家庭和社区特征的不同程度不同。这项综合将包括采用实验组设计和单病例设计研究的研究。方法将包括具有稳健方差估计的多变量随机效应模型、适度分析以及对偏差和缺失数据的评估。这一综合的发现将创造基础知识，并为学校人员和家庭提供循证实践，以支持学生STEM学习和动机。此外，探索家庭参与干预对谁以及在什么条件下最有效，将为旨在支持被剥夺公民权的学生和家庭的有针对性的做法提供信息。探索研究预科-12课程(DRK-12)旨在通过研究和开发创新资源、模式和工具，显著提高预科-12年级学生和教师的科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)的学习和教学。 -12计划中的项目建立在STEM教育的基础研究和先前的研究和开发工作的基础上，为拟议的项目提供了理论和经验上的证明。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
