Impact of Parents Involvement on Their Children’s Mathematics Achievement

Abstract

This is a survey research related to impact of parent involvement on their children’s mathematics achievement. The prime concern of this study is to explore the ‘impact of parent’s involvement on their children’s mathematics achievement’’ The objectives of this study were to find the mathematics achievement of students with respect to their parent involvement, to determine the correlation between parent involvement and mathematics achievement and to find the effect of parent involvement factors in mathematics achievement of grade IX students. For this study, the researcher selection of schools was taken through random sampling 4 public schools with 80 students through the purposive sampling method from kaski district. Mathematics achievement test and parents questionnaire form are the main tools. Mean, Standard deviation, correlation co-efficient, inter correlation and Multiple Regression were used to analysis of the data related to parent’s involvement factors. After analysis and interpretation of the obtained data, the finding indicates that the mean achievement score of students from educated parents was higher than that of literate and illiterate parents. Similarly the mean achievement score of students from trade parents was higher than job and agriculture parents. Also it was found that the mean achievement score of students whose parents devoted more time to their children’s study was found to be higher than that of less time devoted. Now it was found mean achievement score of students that the mathematics achievement of small family size children is better than large family size of children. There is significant effect of parent’s education, parent’s time (time provided by parent’s) and occupation but there is no significant effect of parent’s number of children in house on mathematics achievement. Parent’s education, parent’s time and parent’s occupation were positively correlated with their children’s mathematics achievement but number of children’s at home is negatively correlated with their student’s mathematics achievement. Similarly from the regression analysis of the data we can conclude that the parent’s education is most contributing factor than others on student’s achievement.
