March 2011 Bibliography of Family Involvement Research Published in 2009Harvard Family Research Project |
The resources in this bibliography were found via a number of online databases. More information about specific search methods is outlined in each section below. The key search terms used were a combination of “parent,” “family,” “home,” “school,” “engagement,” “participation,” “involvement,” “student,” “education”, “relationship,” and “cooperation.” We read abstracts from this initial list of publications and selected empirical studies relating to family involvement.
Please note that this compilation is not reviewed, nor does it represent the universe of recent family involvement research. We therefore invite member suggestions for additions to this list. To make suggestions, please contact FINE at fine@gse.harvard.edu.
