ABSTRACT: Self-determination theory and theories of parenting effectiveness have emphasized the importance of parenting attributes such as autonomy support, warmth, and involvement. These parenting attributes have been linked to many positive factors such as prosocial behavior and academic success among school-aged children. However, the potential influence of these parenting factors is often overlooked when studying college-aged students. Thus, it was one goal of the present study to examine correlations between undergraduate students' perceived parental autonomy support, parental warmth, parental involvement, and academic success. Previous research has also found students receive better grades and develop critical thinking skills in an autonomy-supportive classroom. Consequently, a secondary goal of this study was to examine the ability of perceived instructor autonomy support and parental autonomy to predict undergraduate students' academic success. Results revealed that undergraduate students' academic success is predicted by instructor autonomy support. However, no significant correlation was found between parenting factors and academic success.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship the family has with a child's academic achievement. Inequality extant in school provides obstacles that cannot be explained only by economic or class issues and requires a focus on inequality that persists through cultural and parenting practices. Differences that arise in academic achievement call into question the types of skills, values, and knowledge that are validated in school. This exposes the structural disadvantage many children experience when going to school. I find that family type and parental involvement via rule structuring has significant effects on academic achievement. Although patterns do not persist in all family types, communication and rule setting is significant to a child's academic success. Research shows that two parent families with extensive communication and rule setting provide children with a stable platform for success. I argue that the expectations and involvement parents provide have significant mediating factors on a child's academic success. Recommendations include a greater awareness made to parents of their importance and the need for support of school in the home, as well as, the need to place a greater value on working-class and minority culture.

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 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.

Working mothers, broken homes, poverty, racial or ethnic background, poorly educated parents—these are the usual reasons given for the academic problems of poor urban children. Reginald M. Clark contends, however, that such structural characteristics of families neither predict nor explain the wide variation in academic achievement among children. He emphasizes instead the total family life, stating that the most important indicators of academic potential are embedded in family culture. To support his contentions, Clark offers ten intimate portraits of Black families in Chicago. Visiting the homes of poor one- and two-parent families of high and low achievers, Clark made detailed observations on the quality of home life, noting how family habits and interactions affect school success and what characteristics of family life provide children with "school survival skills," a complex of behaviors, attitudes, and knowledge that are the essential elements in academic success. Clark's conclusions lead to exciting implications for educational policy. If school achievement is not dependent on family structure or income, parents can learn to inculcate school survival skills in their children. Clark offers specific suggestions and strategies for use by teachers, parents, school administrators, and social service policy makers, but his work will also find an audience in urban anthropology, family studies, and Black studies.

Family-school partnerships are increasingly touted as a means of improving both student and school improvement. This recognition has led to an increase in policies and initiatives that offer the following benefits: improved communication between parents and educators; home and school goals that are mutually supportive and shared; better understanding of the complexities impinging on children’s development; and pooling of family and school resources to find and implement solutions to shared goals. This is the first comprehensive review of what is known about the effects of home-school partnerships on student and school achievement. It provides a brief history of home-school partnerships, presents evidence-based practices for working with families across developmental stages, and provides an agenda for future research and policy. Key features include: provides comprehensive, cross-disciplinary coverage of theoretical issues and research concerning family-school partnerships. describes those aspects of school-family partnerships that have been adequately researched and promotes their implementation as evidence-based interventions. charts cutting-edge research agendas & methods for exploring school-family partnerships. charts the implications such research has for training, policy and practice especially regarding educational disparities. This book is appropriate for researchers, instructors, and graduate students in the following areas: school counseling, school psychology, educational psychology, school leadership, special education, and school social work. It is also appropriate for the academic libraries serving these audiences.
