The mediating role of parental involvement with school for the relation between parental education and the child's outcomes at school

Master thesis | Education and Child Studies (MSc)

This study examined the mediating role of parental involvement with school on the relation between parental education level and two child outcomes: academic work habits and social networks. Teachers rated questionnaires were used to provide information on parental involve-ment, academic work habits and social networks for 45 children of second generation Turkish mothers living in the Netherlands. Results showed that parental education level and academic work habits were significantly correlated. No other significant associations were found among the other variables. Results did not support the mediation model of parental involvement with the school on the relation between parental education level with academic work habits and social networks.
