title: Parental Involvement and Students' Academic Achievement: A Meta Analysis
abstract: The idea that parental involvement has positive influence on students' academic achievement is so intuitively appealing that society in general, and educators in particular, have considered parental involvement an important ingredient for the remedy for many problems in education. The vast proportion of the literature in this area, however, is qualitative and nonempirical. Among the empirical studies that have investigated the issue quantitatively, there appear to be considerable inconsistencies. A meta analysis was conducted to synthesize the quantitative literature about the relationship between parental involvement and students' academic achievement. The findings reveal a small to moderate, and practically meaningful, relationship between parental involvement and academic achievement. Through moderator analysis, it was revealed that parental aspiration/expectation for children's education achievement has the strongest relationship, whereas parental home supervision has the weakest relationship, with students' academic achievement. In addition, the relationship is stronger when academic achievement is represented by a global indicator (e.g. GPA) than by a subject specific indicator (e.g. math grade) Limitations of the study are noted, and suggestions are made for future studies.

title: Parental involvement and academic achievement among elementary and middle school students
abstract: This study investigates the associations between parental involvement and academic achievement across three criteria: school level (elementary and middle school) gender (male and female) and subject (mathematics and science) Additionally, it examines whether students' attitudes towards a subject and their academic aspirations mediate this relationship. A nationally representative sample of elementary and middle school children in Japan (1884 female fourth grade students from 140 schools, 1849 male fourth grade students from 139 schools, 1812 female eighth grade students from 133 schools and 1789 male eighth grade students from 131 schools) from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study 2011 was used for the analysis. The results show that parental involvement is associated with students' educational outcomes. Students' attitudes and aspirations mediate the associations between parental involvement and academic achievement. In particular, different associations between parental monitoring involvement and achievement are found for elementary and middle school.

title: Parental Involvement in Mexican Elementary Students' Homework: Its Relation with Academic Self Efficacy, Self Regulated Learning, and Academic Achievement
abstract: espanolThis study analyzed the relationship between the types of parental involvement in homework, psychological resources, and academic achievement in Mexican elementary students. In total, 823 children participated, 51% were female, and 49% males. The age of participants ranged from 9 to 12 years old (M 11.12, SD 0.63) Structural equations were calculated. The first model indicated parental autonomy support had a direct positive relation with academic self efficacy and self regulated learning; it also had an indirect positive effect on academic achievement. On the other hand, parental control was directly and indirectly negatively related to academic self efficacy, self regulated learning, and academic achievement. The second model showed that children psychological resources and academic achievement influenced types of parental involvement in homework. A multi group analysis indicated that gender did not moderate the proposed relations in the model. Overall findings suggest a reciprocal relationship between parental involvement in homework and children academic functioning. EnglishEl estudio analizo la relacion entre los tipos de involucramiento parental en las tareas, los recursos psicologicos y el desempeno academico en ninos mexicanos. En total participaron 823 estudiantes, 51% ninas, and 49% ninos. La edad de los participantes variaba desde los 9 a los 12 anos (M 11.12, DE 0.63) Se calcularon dos modelos estructurales. El primero indico que el apoyo parental a la autonomia posee una relacion directa positiva con la autoeficacia academica y el aprendizaje autorregulado, ademas de mostrar que afecta indirectamente de forma positiva el desempeno academico. Por otra parte el control parental afecta directa e indirectamente de forma negativa la autoeficacia academica, el aprendizaje autorregulado y el desempeno academico. En el segundo modelo se encontro que los recursos psicologicos y el desempeno academico del nino influyen en el tipo de involucramiento parental en las tareas. Un analisis multigrupo indico que el genero no modera las relaciones propuestas en el modelo. De forma global los hallazgos sugieren una relacion reciproca entre el involucramiento parental en las tareas y el funcionamiento academico del nino.

title: A Meta Analysis of the Effect of Parental Involvement on Students' Academic Achievement
abstract: This study aims to examine the effect of parental involvement on students' academic achievement at pre school, elementary and secondary levels by using the meta analysis method with respect to home based and school based parental involvement strategies. Data consisted of 55 independent research studies in English published between 2010 and 2019, and accessed through ERIC, Academic Search Complete, Science Direct, Wiley Online Library, and PsycNet databases. Findings revealed that the effect of parental involvement on academic achievement was positive but small. Parental expectations had the biggest effect on academic achievement and parental control had a negative and small effect. The mean effect of parental involvement on students' academic achievement does not differ significantly according to moderator variables of education level, measurement type or measurement area but differs by developmental level of the country. The results are discussed using available related meta analysis studies in the literature.

title: The Relationship among Parental Involvement, Educational Expectation and Secondary School Students' Academic Achievement
abstract: The success of one's future career is closely related to his/her academic performance at secondary school. Parental involvement and educational expectation (both parents' and children's expectation) are significant indicators to predict students' academic achievement. The paper undertakes a systematic literature review to gain insight into the relationship among parental involvement, educational expectation, and students' academic achievement. It is found that there appears to be a multi mediating model between parental educational expectations and students' academic achievement, which parental involvement and children's educational expectation play mediating roles. In addition, some contextual variables, such as socioeconomic status and ethnic group, should be also considered when the relationship above are explored.
