Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2014 in the subject Pedagogy - School System, Educational and School Politics, , language: English, abstract: Parental attitude towards education is consistently found to be positively associated with a student's academic performance. However, there has been little investigation about mechanisms that explain this association. The objective of the study was to establish the relationship between parental attitude towards education and academic performance of day secondary students. The specific research objectives were: to establish the relationship between parents’ attitude towards educational involvement and academic performance of day secondary school students; to examine the relationship between parents’ attitude towards absenteeism and academic performance of day secondary school students; to establish the relationship between parents’ attitude towards provision of basic educational needs and academic performance of day secondary students in Uasin Gishu. The theoretical framework of this study was derived from functionalist and learning theories. The Data for this study was collected from primary and secondary sources. The research instruments were questionnaires for students and parents, interview schedules for parents and teachers and parent-child relationship scale for students. The study population comprised of 1804 students, 80 parents representatives and 51 teachers. A correlation research design was adopted based on a sample drawn from five secondary schools in the study area. Purposive sampling was used to select a sample 18 teachers and 36 parents while stratified random sampling was used in the selection of 180 students. Spearman Brown Prophesy coefficient formula was used to test the internal consistency of questionnaires and interview schedules after piloting had been done. Parent-child relationship scale reliability was established by use of Cronbach’s alpha coefficients. The reliability coefficients of 0.70 at 0.05 level of significance were obtained. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. Inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, means and percentages were used in analyzing data.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to research elementary school parents to gain a better understanding of their beliefs and attitudes about their children's academic learning. The research was conducted in a small community in the Midwest. The project took place in the fall of 2005, at the elementary school, in a district that educates approximately 700 students Pre-K - 12. One hundred and fifty families had children attending the elementary school. All parents who attended parent-teacher conferences, both mothers and fathers, were asked to complete the survey. The attendance rate at parent-teacher conferences was eighty-five percent. Data were collected through a survey created by the researcher, which included five research questions. With more research on the reasons behind the barriers to parents' involvement, parents and teachers can work together to analyze areas for improvement. Therefore, it was important to know parents' attitudes and beliefs about their role in their children's academic achievement. The overall goal was to provide a framework for the school to build on their parent involvement program, both at home and at school, which in turn would help increase student achievement. Results of the study indicated that there were no external barriers that prevented parents from participating in their children's education. The main limiting factors related to parents' work schedules and hectic lifestyles. Overall, it was found that most parents strongly valued involvement in their child's learning. However, when females were compared to males, there were several items that indicated a significant difference between the two when analyzing their involvement at home and at school. Prior school experiences for parents had no bearing on their level of involvement in their child's education, and their level of involvement did not change based on the number of children in the home.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study attempted to show that parenting styles are directly related to parents' goals with respect to their children's education. Parents' goals, and the behaviors they motivate, were assumed to be a mechanism accounting for well-established effects of parenting style on children's school achievement. The sample consisted of 223 undergraduate college mothers enrolled in psychology courses. The results indicated that parents' use of an authoritative style was positively related to their adoption of learning goals with respect to their child, as evident, for example, in their use of a process focus and indirect homework assistance strategies. Moreover, mothers' use of an authoritarian style was positively related to their adoption of performance goals, as evident in their use of a product focus. Results are discussed in terms of goal theory and the limitations of self-report methods.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this research is to determine if there is a correlation between parents' and their third grade students' attitudes towards education and if these attitudes and beliefs affect student motivation and academic achievement. A review of the current literature examines parental involvement in four sections: what parental involvement looks like, the benefits of parental involvement, factors affecting parental involvement and why parental involvement is important for schools. The literature also examines students' attitudes and motivation towards education and discusses types of motivation, causes of motivation and the timing of the student's life at which motivation can be studied. To conduct the research, surveys were given to parents and students in the third grade of an urban elementary school in a large Midwestern city to determine if there was a correlation between parental beliefs and attitudes about involvement and students' attitude and motivation. Student achievement data was gathered from the program used by the school for progress monitoring. Results indicate that parental decisions to be involved are statistically related to invitations from school, role construction, and self-efficacy. Additionally, results indicated that achievement data are positively correlated with role construction and invitations from the child. Findings are discussed and compared to research in which the current study supports and refutes. Limitations to the study, future research, and classroom implications are also discussed.

Book excerpt: While access to schooling has expanded around the world, many countries have not realised the hoped-for improvements in economic and social well-being. Access to education by itself is an incomplete goal for development; many students leave the education system without basic proficiency in literacy and numeracy. As the world coalesces around new sustainable development targets towards 2030, the focus in education is shifting towards access and quality. Using projections based on data from the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and other international student assessments, this report offers a glimpse of the stunning economic and social benefits that all countries, regardless of their national wealth, stand to gain if they ensure that every child not only has access to education but, through that education, acquires at least the baseline level of skills needed to participate fully in society.
