Abstract
Sociocultural theory, social cognitive theory, and bioecological systems theory depict how children's learning occurs within the family. Physical characteristics of the home and parent language use provide a backdrop for children's education. Parents' beliefs that shape their educationally relevant behaviors include perceptions of the child's competencies, expectations, stereotypes, causal attributions, and values. Children learn from direct instruction and by observing behaviors modeled by their parents and siblings. Learning is also shaped by parents' school involvement and selection of children's out-of-home activities. Current scholarship explores cultural, national, and social class diversity in these processes using complex models and sophisticated data analytic strategies.
