Bailey (2017) pointed out that parental involvement will always come in
different amounts for each student due to diversity in family structures and
their abilities, but what became evident through the analysis is; Parental
involvement has the ability to alter a student’s path and lead them to
success.
Bushra Iqbal Chohan (2010) mentioned that family support allows the
child to establish a better academic status in school and positive self-
concept which then adds to the maturation of his/her personality and
career.
Bower & Griffin (2011) mentioned that parental involvement has many
positive effects on students other than academics, including increased
motivation, self-esteem, and self-reliance, which may lead to academic
success regardless of economic background. Conversely, research affirms
that inadequate or no parental involvement contributes to low student
achievement and engagement.
Khajehpour (2011) insists that some parents have the skills to foster both
cognitive growth and achievement motivation. The research shows that
when teachers and educational administrators are strongly committed to
drawing parents into their children’s education, the academic outcomes for
children can be very positive.
Le Mare (2014) pointed out that Parent involvement has a greater effect on
school grades than on standardized achievement test scores. Parents’
personal involvement in their academic progress has more effect on the
children’s academic outcomes than parents’ behavioral involvement.
Obico (2015) strongly believed that students who had a higher level of
parental involvement consistently showed a higher level of student
achievement. The parents that showed more of an interest in their child’s
education were able to provide more support and their children earned
higher grades than their classmates.
Pinantoan (2013) theorized that having one parent involved is better than
having none at all. Interestingly, as far as behavior is concerned—being
held back or expelled— having a supportive mother makes a slightly more
positive difference than having a supportive father. Having a supportive
father, however, leads to slightly higher grades than having a supportive
mother.
Tam (2009) asserted that gain in children’s academic efficacy with higher
parental involvement level is observed among students as well as those
with parents of lower educational attainment.
