What Matters? A Cross-Country Analysis of Parental Involvement and Student Achievement Público
Murray, Olivia Grace (2015)
Abstract
This study explores the relationship between traditional and nontraditional parental involvement (PI) actions and student achievement, holding family economic, social, and cultural status; school-level parent expectations; and student gender constant. Using a large-scale analysis of data from 15-year-olds in 14 economies, I found that, of the statistically significant PI items, nontraditional PI is typically positively associated with student scores, and traditional PI is typically negatively associated with student scores. These findings may provide support for the reactive hypothesis.
