  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Factors Effecting Student Achievement

Abstract

The effect of parent involvement on student achievement was examined in this meta-analysis study. A total of 1640 research studies were collected during the literature review, out of which 119 were included in the meta-analysis. Two hundred fifty one correlation coefficients were obtained from the 119 empirical studies with a cumulative sample size of 378,069 subjects. The results of the random effect model showed that parent involvement has a low-level positive effect on student achievement. The moderators identified for the study were the type of publication , sample group (education level), school subject or assessment type, the country (culture) in which the research was carried out and the year of the studies, of which only country was found to be a moderator variable .
