| dc.description.abstract | The main aim of this study was to investigate the type and nature of parental involvement on late first cycle education and the significant involvement difference between parents of high achieving students and parents of low achieving students on their children 's academic success in the case of Gibson School System. The method used for this study was descriptive quantitative survey method. In all 64 parents of the two groups (parents of high achieving students and parents of low achieving students) were respondents. The statistics used for analysis were the total mean scores and the t- scores. The findings are particularly helpful in that they indicated which kinds of parental involvement are abundantly used and influence academic success and which one didn't. Most notably parental expectations, reading and parental style each demonstrated a strong relationship with scholastic outcomes. Thus, it 'was not a particular action such as attending school functions, and checking student homework that yielded a statistically significant effect on students ' academics. Rather, variables that reflected a general atmosphere of involvement produced the strongest results. Parental expectations and style may create an educationally oriented environment, which establishes an understanding of a certain level of support and standards in the child's mind. Moreover, it would be better if qualitative researches also supplement the findings of the current study by ascertaining the ways teachers, parents, and students perceive that which parental involvement benefits students the most | |
