Navigating Marginalization: Toward Justice-Oriented Socio-Technical Design for Parent-Child Learning among Southeast Asian Immigrant Mothers in Taiwan
🤖 AI Summary
This study addresses the constrained educational participation and agency of Southeast Asian immigrant mothers in Taiwan, shaped by sociocultural norms and structural marginalization. Employing semi-structured interviews and diary methods, it pioneers the application of an intersectional identity framework within parent-child learning research through a justice-oriented lens. The findings reveal how these mothers creatively support their children’s learning despite multiple constraints. Centered on principles of recognition, reciprocity, and accountability, the study proposes a school-family-community collaborative learning system that advances individual empowerment, familial support, and social inclusion. This framework offers both theoretical insights and practical guidance for designing inclusive educational technologies tailored to marginalized populations.
📝 Abstract
This study investigates how Southeast Asian (SEA) immigrant mothers in Taiwan participate in their children's home-based learning. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and diary studies, we explore how these mothers navigate sociocultural constraints while fostering engagement and transmitting cultural values. Despite facing diminished agency and structural marginalization, mothers engage creatively in their children's everyday learning interactions. Guided by a justice-oriented lens, we identify various harms and propose design implications for socio-technical systems that center recognition, reciprocity, and accountability in parent-child learning at the individual, familial, and societal levels. Our contribution lies in foregrounding the role of intersectional identity in parent-child learning and proposing justice-oriented design directions that support the flourishing of immigrant mothers within socio-technical systems.
