It is the first study of the subject based on major survey data, drawing from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988a national survey of 26,000 eighth graders, their parents, teachers, and school administrators. The authors explore several important debates, including the extent to which parental involvement can mitigate the constraints of poverty for minorities and disadvantaged students, school choice and equality of educational opportunity, and the effects that school-sponsored activities involving parents have on educational performance. }Parental involvement with children at home, in school, and in the community is one of the most important factors in educational success. Yet we know very little about the most effective approaches to parental intervention. Moreover, not all parents have the same resources or opportunities to act on the educational expectations they have for their children.This book examines the resources available to parents and the actions parents can take to further their childrens education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the effect of being raised in one-parent and two parent family structures on the academic achievement of students by looking at the test scores of their standardized composite math/reading tests. The study also looks for the possible influence of gender/race and structural factors like socioeconomic status, school's geographic location, and economic resources on the test scores of students. Using a sample of students raised in biological one-parent and two-parent family structures from the Educational Longitudinal Survey 2002 dataset, cross-sex theory, resources theory and interpersonal theory have been used to explain the effect for both the full sample and for father-headed one-parent families and mother-headed one-parent families. The research found no significant gender effect on the test scores of students, however, the research result found strong impact for race and socioeconomic status on achievement. Family structure showed moderate effects. Students raised in two-parent families outperform students raised in one-parent families. However, the research findings indicated that socioeconomic status and race are stronger predictors of test scores than family structure.

Download or read book Family Structure as an Effect on Student Achievement written by Benjamin Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students not only learn at different speeds and methods but also live in many different households and face many challenges to their personal academic journeys. These households have both positive and negative effects on the students which is often mirrored in the classroom. How students learn, and what are the factors that have positive and a negative effect on their learning is not only a very important aspect of education, but a highly evolving phenomena. Family households have changed rapidly over the last several decades and it is the job of the educational community to adhere to these changes in order to service each student in the very best way possible. The purpose of this study was to classify a selected group of students into three family households: married, single/divorced and foster guardianship and using state standardized tests in math and communication arts (MAP) along with school district quarterly benchmark assessments, see if a significant relationship exists between family households and student achievement. Once a significant relationship is identified, the study addressed to what degree the significance level existed, and finally through an analysis of the literature review, make recommendations that might benefit school districts in helping students that are not performing at the appropriate levels of success in state testing. The study will address four research questions: 1) How do 5th and 6th grade students from two parent homes compare academically with 5th and 6th grade students from single parent or guardianship homes, as measured by the Math MAP? 2) How do 5th and 6th grade students from two parent homes compare academically with 5th and 6th grade students from single parent or guardianship homes, as measured by the Communication Arts MAP? 3) How do 5th and 6th grade students from two parent homes compare academically with 5th and 6th grade students from single parent or guardianship homes as measured by Math quarterly benchmark assessments? 4) How do 5th and 6th grade students from two parent homes compare academically with 5th and 6th grade students from single parent or guardianship homes as measured by Communication Arts quarterly benchmark assessments? The testing instrument used was ANOVA (Analysis of Variance), which provided the appropriate measure of testing for the dependent variable (MAP and Quarterly Benchmarks) and the independent variable (family demographics, households). The results of the data will be organized and identified as having significant relationships and rejections of the null hypothesis or an acceptance of the null hypothesis. The study was significant because it examined literature that addressed the impact that a home life has on a student, and how that affect that students’ performance in the classroom. The study also will provide recommendations for educators that would be beneficial in addressing the growing needs of all students based on the type of household they dwell.

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.
