Book excerpt: For the past 30 years, student performance in science and mathematics in the United States has remained at disappointing levels. In comparison to 20 other nations in advanced mathematics and physics, students in the United States scored significantly lower in advanced mathematics, and only one country scored lower in physics (NCES, 1997). In short, improving mathematics achievement among U.S. students is a long-standing issue. This study explored the features of a program that focused on increasing parental involvement in their children's mathematics education. It investigated what specific qualities of teacher-to-parent and school-to-parent involvement accompany a program that successfully involved parents. In addition, other aspects that involved parents successfully in their children's mathematics education were identified. Using qualitative methods to collect and analyze data, parents, teachers, and administrators in one of the 25 largest school districts in the country who participated in this program were interviewed. From this data, the researcher concluded that the instructional program actively engaged parents; enhanced parent and teacher relationships; increased the range of options for parents to communicate with teachers and enhanced the ease and comfort of their communication. Parents indicated that the program was relevant to their concerns, focused on helping them improve the academic achievement of their children, and provided a substantive amount of parent-teacher contact. The program quality and the knowledge parents gained about algebra empowered them to become more involved in their child's learning. In doing so it ultimately improved parent-child relationships as they related to mathematics and school in general. Participation in the program led to parents gaining confidence due to a better understanding on how mathematics should be taught to their children. This study indicates that much work must continue to occur to educate parents about new educational practices and also inform educators about their responsibility to connect with parents regarding curriculum and instruction. The challenge has three dimensions. While schools and teachers need to provide access to such initiatives, parents, in turn, need to avail themselves to the opportunities offered. On the third level, students must not be forgotten in the planning and implementation of parental outreach initiatives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines socioeconomic inequality and student outcomes across various Western industrialized nations and the varying success they have had in addressing achievement gaps in lower socioeconomic status student populations. It presents the national profiles of countries with notable achievement gaps within the respective school-aged student populations, explains the trajectory of achievement results in relation to both national and international large-scale assessment measures, and discusses how relevant education policies have evolved within their national contexts. Most importantly, the national profiles investigate the effectiveness of policy responses that have been adopted to close the achievement gap in lower socioeconomic status student populations. This book provides a cross-national analysis of policy approaches designed to address socioeconomic inequality.

This book was released on 2013-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author studied the relationship between parental involvement and academic achievement in language arts and math and the extent to which parental involvement helps predict language arts and math achievement among elementary school students. In a quantitative, non-experimental study using a descriptive, correlational research design with multiple linear regression analysis, she found a significant relationship between achievement in language arts and mathematics and parental efficacy. The study population was comprised of parents of 4th-, 5th-, and 6th-grade students in 3 elementary schools in a working-class urban New Jersey school district diverse in ethnicity and language and high in poverty. She found significant relationships between parenting skills and parental efficacy and student achievement in language arts and mathematics. As parenting skills and parental efficacy increased, the level of student achievement in both subject areas also increased. Social networking was also found to correlate with higher student achievement.

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine how well parent involvement, as a form of social capital, made up for familial differences in human (educational) and financial (income) capital thereby influencing reading and mathematics achievement scores. The sample consisted of 14952 kindergarten students from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study Kindergarten Cohort of 1998. The research examined the effect of parent involvement on overall gains in mathematics and reading achievement scores. Using multiple regression analysis, level of parent involvement was found to have an influence on overall reading and mathematics gains, however the effect was weak. Predictor variables found to have an influence on overall reading gain were poverty level, gender, level of parent involvement, and SES. These variables explain 1.2% of the overall variance in reading gain scores. Predictor variables found to have an influence on overall mathematics gain were poverty level, child changed schools between rounds, level of parent involvement, and SES. These variables explain 1.3 % of the overall variance in mathematics gain scores.

Download or read book The Factors Effecting Student Achievement written by Engin Karadağ and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-14 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the effect of psychological, social and demographic variables on student achievement and summarizes the current research findings in the field. It addresses the need for inclusive and interpretive studies in the field in order to interpret student achievement literature and suggests new pathways for further studies. Appropriately, a meta-analysis approach is used by the contributors to show the big picture to the researchers by analyzing and combining the findings from different independent studies. In particular, the authors compile various studies examining the relationship between student achievement and 21 psychological, social and demographic variables separately. The philosophy behind this book is to direct future research and practices rather than addressing the limits of current studies.
