    Grounded in the family strengths perspective, this study focuses on the experience of first-generation immigrant parents in an effort to highlight the role of human agency in relation to family adjustment. Using a qualitative approach, this study examined the experience of 20 first-generation immigrant Latino parents of young children (ages 0-7), before and after migration, and their perceived adjustment. This approach created a holistic story of the migration process, relevant to promote civic and social participation. Several themes emerged within three cultural domains in relation to the concept of human agency: (1) pre-migration: intentionality and forethought, (2) settlement process: planning and kinship network, and (3) post-immigration: overcoming challenges and reactive adjustment. The results illustrate that recent immigrant parents are planners, thinkers, and self-regulators. The information provided here is useful to inform evidence-based practices and to inspire researchers as well as service providers

    The present descriptive comparative research aims to determine the levels of reading comprehension in university students from different regions of the Perú. We worked with a sample of 256 first-year undergraduate students from four different geographical areas of the country (Lima, Callao, Huancayo and Iquitos). Likewise, an Ad hoc test (authors: Héctor Hugo Sánchez Carlessi and Úrsula Isabel Romani Miranda) of reading comprehension was applied to four texts, which presented one literal level question, two inferential or interpretive level questions and two critical-reflective questions evaluated digitally. The results were processed with the SPSS 26 program and it showed us that there are no significant differences in the four regions, regardless of whether they are national or private universities in terms of their reading comprehension levels. However, there are significant differences between the group made up of students from private universities and the group made up of students from public universities. Likewise, the test results show a significant difference with respect to the results of Text 1 and Text 4 where students from the private university group have a significantly higher score. Finally, a public university has higher scores in reading comprehension.La presente investigación de carácter descriptivo comparativo tiene como objetivo general determinar los niveles de comprensión lectora en estudiantes universitarios de diferentes regiones del país. Se trabajó con una muestra de 256 estudiantes de pregrado primer año de cuatro zonas geográficas diferenciadas del país (Lima, Callao, Huancayo e Iquitos). Asimismo, se aplicó una prueba Ad hoc (autores: Héctor Hugo Sánchez Carlessi y Úrsula Isabel Romani Miranda) de comprensión lectora de cuatro textos los mismos que presentaron una pregunta de nivel literal, dos de nivel inferencial o interpretativa y dos preguntas críticas – reflexivas evaluada de manera digital. Los resultados se procesaron con el programa SPSS 26 y nos mostró que no existen diferencias significativas en las cuatro regiones al margen de ser universidades nacionales o privadas en cuanto a sus niveles de comprensión lectora. Sin embargo, sí existen diferencias significativas entre el grupo conformado por estudiantes de universidades privadas y el grupo conformado por estudiantes de universidades públicas. Asimismo, los resultados de las pruebas muestran una diferencia significativa respecto a los resultados del Texto 1 y del Texto 4 donde los estudiantes del grupo de universidades privadas cuentan con un puntaje significativamente mayor. Finalmente, una universidad pública tiene puntajes más altos en comprensión lectora
