Does Parental Involvement Affect Eighth-Grade Student Achievement? Structural Analysis of National Data
Abstract
Educators and policy makers recently have touted increased parental involvement as one method of improving U.S. student achievement. Despite claims for achievement effects for parental involvement, its effects are inconsistent and open to question. The purpose of this research was to examine the effects of parental involvement on the achievement of eighth-grade students. Data from a nationally representative sample of 21,814 students and their parents participating in the National Education Longitudinal Study were analyzed using latent variable structural equations analyses. The results suggest that parental involvement in students' academic lives is indeed a powerful influence on eighth-grade students' achievement. This effect holds for all academic areas, and appears to result in part from the increased homework completed by students with more involved parents. This research suggests that parental involvement is indeed an important influence on achievement, and that psychologists, educators, and policy makers should work to nurture and increase such involvement.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
