Parental Involvement in Child’s Education: Importance, Barriers and Benefits
Journal Title: Asian Journal of Management Sciences and Education - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
This research article explicates the importance, barriers and benefits of parental involvement in child’s education. The authors exemplify the fact that parents’ involvement in their child’s learning process offers many opportunities for success¬- improvements on child’s morale, attitude, and academic achievement across all subject areas, behavior and social adjustment (Centre for Child Well-Being, 2010). This study underscores that the most common obstacle to parental participation is the parents’ pessimistic attitude towards supporting school where their children are enrolled in, and the “we-don’t-care-attitude” among parents. It further elucidates the truth about parents’ role in the personal and academic performance of the child, as revealed by Conway and Houtenville’s (2008) study, stating that “parental effort is consistently associated with higher levels of achievement, and the magnitude of the effect of parental effort is substantial.” Pinantoan (2013), Olsen (2010), and Henderson and Berla (1994) corroborate this contention and other claims on the importance and benefits of parental participation in the child’s holistic development.
