Effects of Parental Involvement on Eighth-Grade Achievement.
Sui-Chu, Esther Ho; Willms, J. Douglas
Sociology of Education, v69 n2 p126-141 Apr 1996
Expands the parameters of "parental involvement" in educational research regarding its effect on academic achievement. Includes talking with children about school-related activities and helping with homework in the new definition. Integrating these findings challenges the belief that lower-income parents are less involved with their children's school activities. (MJP)
