This article is about a study conducted to observe caregiver-child interactions. The author distinguishes between several modes of interaction. A didactic mode which provides a rich repertoire with a complex structures of learning and instruction opportunities, a playful mode, and the economic and efficient mode. After introducing the concept of mode interactions the didactic mode is illustrated with a case study.
This article is very helpful to me! It gives me an outline of what kind of interactions to look for when I am observing observations in Mexico. I will be using this when I am in Mexico.

This article is an observation of 78 parent-child dyads in Mexican families to reveal a number of differences between maternal and paternal behaviors. They found that the traditional views of Mexican parental roles did not hold true. The fathers were found to be more playful and companionable with their children than mothers were.
This article is older the preferred, but it is perfect because it shows the difference of interactions between fathers and mothers of Mexico. This is a very helpful article because it is specific to Mexico

Parenting Practices Among Fathers of Cohort of Pacific Infants in New Zealand
 Leon lusitini, Wanzhen Gao, Gerhard Sundborn and Janis Paterson
Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology 2011 44: 38 originally published online 20 July 2010

This article examines the nurturing and hard disciplinary parenting practices of fathers of a cohort of Pacific children born in New Zealand. The study found that the majority of Pacific fathers never or rarely used harsh disciple with their 12-mo. old child and hitting with an object was very rare. There were different levels of nurturing connected with different types of activities.

This could be a very useful article. It is recent and specifically notes the different interactions that take place with fathers from New Zealand. I can compare this with other findings of interactions with other fathers’ interactions with their children from different places. This could then support my idea that across cultures interactions are different between parent and child.

An Examination of the Relationship Between Commitments and Culture Among Five Cultural Groups of Israeli Teachers.
Aaron Cohen Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology 2007 38: 34

In this study five groups of Israeli teachers who were assumed to represent different cultural groups were examined. The findings show the strong effect of culture on multiple commitments.

This article might or might not be helpful. It is dealing with teachers from one area, but different cultural groups. If I can get the right angle it might be advantages. It just might not though. I would need to research this one more to find out more in depth information.

Vol. 41, No. 2 (May, 1979), pp. 287-299

This article is about the interactions of children with their fathers across five countries; United states, Ireland, Spain, Japan, and Mexico. They found that American men compared to women do not associate or interact much differently than men compared to women in other countries. The findings challenge the idea that American Children are particularly deprived of nurturing behaviors form the father figures.

This could be an interesting article that could help me in my research. It might not be too great to use because of how old it is, but it gives good insight into interactions. I like that it goes into the differences between men and women and looks at things cross culturally. That is really good.

This article looks at things cross culturally between Canada and China. Information on child-rearing attitudes and beliefs were obtained from mothers. They found that directions between the Canadian mothers and Chinese mothers were different. The results indicated different adaptational meanings of behavioral inhibition across cultures.
I like that it is a little more recent. Not within ten years, but still pretty recent. It goes into the differences cross culturally which is very helpful to me. They also found differences which would back up my personal beliefs on this subject.

Parenting Among Mothers With Young Children in Mexico and the United States. Solís-Cámara, Pedro1Fox, Robert A.2. Journal of Social Psychology; Oct95, Vol. 135 Issue 5, p591-599, 9p

This article looks at the parenting practices from a sampling of mother with very young children from Mexico and the United States. The finding from the study support that there are striking similarities that when working with young children the demands are similar across cultures. It suggests that parenting may become more apparent as children mature.

I feel like this article could be very useful. I want to understand what interactions between parents and children are like. This article focuses more on younger children in particular, but it also might go into how parenting across different cultures may become more apparent when the children are older. This could be good to use to back up how there are differences across cultures when raising children.

This article looks at developmental expectations and parenting practices of fathers in Mexico and the United States. It finds that the fathers from both countries did not differ in that much in their discipline and nurturing practices.

I could use this article to back me up in my research. The information could help me to identify what the typical interactions between fathers and children from Mexico are. It will help me identify the patterns I’m looking for.

This was a study done about attitudes regarding inclusion of students who have mild to moderate disabilities into the general classroom. It goes into the creation of a junior high program and the academic benefit of students from integration into the regular classroom.
I think that this could be a useful article. I might find out more about the attitudes of inclusion and also how effective it is. I would also gain further insight into how one of these classrooms might be created.

This article goes into social analysis of being labeled as, “disabled.” This refers to inadequate performance on tasks that are from daily life. It is not so much the properties of persons as it is the moments in cultural focus.

I think this article could help me because it goes into cultural views of disabilities. I can learn about what people who have disabilities are not able to do in their daily life which gives them their label of disabled. I would like to see how their interactions in their daily lives are connected to the label they are given.

This article gives insight into a movement toward education for children and youth with disabilities in the public schools. It helps us see how after fourteen years families in the state of Leon, Mexico have worked with educators and political forces to achieve progress in outcomes for their children.

I could gain some remarkable insight into these parents’ paradigms. I could see what has been done to make progress toward inclusion for their children. This understanding can help me realize why progress in the area I would be living in might not be making progress to help these children receive more education.

This article focuses on the difficulties of including children from rural areas with severe disabilities into the school systems. It helps us understand some of the educators concerns about inclusion. It then gives information into how to include these children.

As I study this article I might be able to find out why inclusion would be hard in rural areas. I will be in a rural area of Mexico and this understanding could help me see some of the implications to including these children into the school system. I will better understand the problems these rural areas face in connection to their school systems.

Inclusion in Mexico: Ensuring Supportive Attitudes by Newly Graduated Teachers
Forlin, Chris Cedillo, Ismael Garcia; Romero-Contreras, Silvia; Fletcher, Todd; Hernandez, Humberto Javier Rodriguez
International Journal of Inclusive Education v14 n7 p723-739 Nov 2010 17
2010

This article covers more about the training of teachers to meet the needs of children who have special needs. Inclusion of children with special needs into the classroom is gaining momentum. Because of this the training for teachers to meet these needs is increasing. This study shows the perceptions of teachers who are about to graduate and what their understanding is toward inclusion. These teachers experience is very limited in this area. It focuses on the need for teacher education reform.

I feel this article will aid me in my research. As I look at teachers that are about to graduate and what their perceptions are of these children or their lack of understanding on how to include them in the regular classroom I might better understand their paradigms. This might help me see why there is a lack of these services for these children. If the teachers are not sure how to help them it could really impact the services these children would be receiving in the schools.

Perceptions by teachers about the benefits and liabilities of inclusion
D'Alonzo, Bruno J.; Giordano, Gerard; Vanleeuwen, Dawn M.
Preventing School Failure v. 42 (Fall 1997) p. 4-11
1997

In this study data was collected from 336 teachers in New Mexico to investigate their perceptions about the benefits and liabilities of inclusion. 40.5 percent did not perceive inclusion as a positive opportunity. There was a mixed perception of whether inclusion would lead to improved teacher tolerance of disabled children. Many were concerned about teacher stress and classroom management difficulties in inclusive classrooms.

This article isn’t specific to Mexico. However, I feel that it can still help me in my research greatly. I will gain insight into teachers’ perceptions of inclusion. These might be consistent in other places such as Mexico and could help me know what questions to ask in this area to understand teacher’s feelings are toward inclusion.

This article provides insight into efforts in Mexico to provide for the educational needs of children with disabilities. It goes into reasons that prevent families from requesting government support for these children and covers a bit of the history of special education.
This article could be very useful to me. I am looking into what resources might or might not be available to these children, especially in rural areas. I could also better understand what the factors are that prevent parents from requesting government support. This might be due to the cultural perceptions toward these families with children who have special needs.

This article is a great resource. It describes a new model of special education to integrate children with special needs into the regular classroom. It examines the process of the model and the ramifications for elementary and special education teachers. Results show a lack of inclusion of special and regular education teachers. It revealed that it’s difficult to achieve fundamental change on a national level.
This article would be very useful to me if I am to look more into schools and inclusion for children who have special needs. I could see what resources are available or not available in my area for these children. It might help me understand what some of the implications are and then I would be able to study what the implications are for this specific area I will be living in.

This article examines the beliefs of Mexican mothers from Texas who have young children 24 to 37 mo. of age. These children received early intervention services. It goes into how their perceptions and beliefs influenced where services were given in Spanish or English. I think this is a great article for me to read. I could see it connecting very well to the research I would like to do in Mexico. It specifically connect so perceptions of Mexican mothers and it connect to young children which is where my strengths are because of my work background so I could gain some good insight into this article.

This article shows the risk perceptions of parents, mainly mothers, who are taking care of a child with special needs. It shows the care that is demanded from these parents. It goes into how they will sometimes transfer the care momentarily but still retain the sense to care for these children. This could be helpful to me because it would help me to see how some parents feel in these situations when they have a child with special needs. I had not looked at it from this angle that they might have an overwhelming feeling of responsibility to care for these children. I could gain some new insights into things I should consider as I complete my inquiry.

This article shows the impact of raising a child with disabilities on family structure in Norway. This article is specific to families in Norway, but I think it could still be useful to me. It could help me understand how having a child with disabilities might affect a family structure. That could be important to think about as I’m going into homes to see how these parents feel about their children with special needs. What as well is it doing to the dynamics of the family?

This article goes tries to show “whether negative attitudes and responses toward adults and children with disabilities among Mexican mothers who did not have previous significant contact with disabled people might be related to individual psychological health and / or family functioning.” This article would be helpful to me because it touches on mothers attitudes and how it would affect family functioning.

Hear Our Voice: Parents of Children with Disabilities from Mexico . By: Bauman, Dona C.. Online Submission, Paper presented at the International Association of Special Education (Jun 12, 2007). 2007 6 pp. (ED502650)
This purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of parents with children with
disabilities towards their children and how Mexican society treats their children.” This article could be very helpful to me. It gathers information for the most part on families and their attitudes toward their child who has special needs. I liked that it came from various families with different ages of children who had different disabilities. It was pulled from a middleclass society so I will not be able to fully connect it to some of my research because I will be working with poorer people. Yet, it could be very helpful to give me some support as I start to gather information.
This article is actually a manual written by the equal employment opportunities commission in Washington DC. It is about how to communicate and interact with people who have disabilities. It goes into specific disabilities and suggestions ways to interact with these different populations of people. This could be helpful to me as it allows me to see ways in which our culture here in America sees and tries to interact with those around us that have disabilities. It will allow me to see what accommodations our society makes to help them be a part of our society.

This article is about attitudes related to disability. It covers specific types of disabilities, attitudes of different disabilities, attitudes related to education, employers attitudes, specific strategies or intervention programs for attitudinal change, and most importantly instrumentation for measuring attitudes. This article could be very useful to me. I could learn a lot about family’s attitudes as well as the attitudes of those who have the disability. I also like the fact that it could give me that pattern I need to learn how to measure attitudes.
