Employing a concurrent, nested, mixed methods strategy, we use the insights gained through semi-structured interviews with parents to inform the creation of four regression models with which we investigate four types of activities (athletics, music, languages, and leadership). Our findings reveal that, depending on the type of activity, ECA participation by children varies by parental education. Values and experiences held by parents with the lowest educational attainment were stronger predictors of participation in specialized music programs, and those of parents with advanced degrees were stronger predictors of participation by their children in specialized language  \nCanadian Journal of Education / Revue canadienne de l’éducation 38:2 (2015)©2015 Canadian Society for the Study of Education/ Société canadienne pour l’étude de l’éducation  \n[www.cje-rce.ca](www.cje-rce.ca)  \nprograms.

À l’aide d’une stratégie fondée sur une méthodologie mixte, emboîtée et synergique, nous utilisons les observations qui se dégagent des entrevues semi-structurées avec les parents pour créer quatre modèles de régression avec lesquels nous étudions quatre types d’activités (athlétisme, musique, langues et leadership) . Nous avons ainsi découvert que, selon le type d’activité, la participation des enfants aux activités parascolaires varie en fonction de la scolarité des parents. Les valeurs et les expériences des parents ayant le moins de scolarité étaient de meilleurs indicateurs prévisionnels de la participation de leurs enfants à des programmes spécialisés d’athlétisme et à des programmes spécialisés de musique et celles des parents plus scolarisés étaient de meilleurs indicateurs prévisionnels de la participation de leurs enfants à des programmes spécialisés de langue. Nous concluons en discutant des implications de notre étude sur le plan de l’équité pour les enfants canadiens.  \nMots-clés : activités parascolaires, reproduction culturelle, éducation postsecondaire, recherche par sondage, méthodologie mixte, apprentissage du français  \nCanadian Journal of Education / Revue canadienne de l’éducation 38:2 (2015) [www.cje-rce.ca](www.cje-rce.ca)  \nBackground  \nIt is no surprise that family background has significant power to explain disparities in educational participation and attainment (Andres, 2009; Dumais, 2006a, 2006b; Lareau, 2000). However, a great deal remains unknown regarding the nature of family influenceson the educational achievement of their children. Numerous benefits have been associated with participation in extracurricular activities (ECAs), including higher academic achievement (Andres & Wyn, 2010; Fredricks & Eccles, 2006; Mahoney, Cairns, & Farmer, 2003; Marsh & Kleitman, 2002; Scott-Little, 2002), improved non-cognitive skills (Broh, 2002; Dumais, 2006a, 2006b), greater life satisfaction and well-being (Eccles & Barber,1999; Kim & Kim, 2008), better career prospects (Barber, Eccles, & Stone, 2001; Rivera, 2011), and lower instances of school dropout (Holloway, 2002; Kronholz, 2012; Mahoney, 2000; Mahoney & Cairns, ","cbCainkw0itKUApy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainkw0itKUApy","pdf",586111,34,"English","# Abstract\n# Background","[{\"question\":\"What ages and population does the study examine?\",\"answer\":\"The study uses a sample of Canadian parents with children aged from four to 17.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the study analyze parents’ influence on extracurricular activities?\",\"answer\":\"It applies a concurrent, nested mixed-methods approach, using semi-structured interviews to support four regression models across athletics, music, languages, and leadership.\"},{\"question\":\"How do parents’ education levels relate to children’s participation?\",\"answer\":\"Participation varies by activity type and parental education: lower-education parents better predict specialized music programs, while advanced-degree parents better predict specialized language programs.\"}]","Athletics, Music, Languages, and Leadership - How Parents Influence the Extracurricular Activities of Their Children | PDF",1792081411,86]
