  1. Parental involvement in homework: Relations with parent and student achievement‐related motivational beliefs and achievement

    Eleftheria Ν. Gonida, Kai S. Cortina · 2014 · British Journal of Educational Psychology · 284 citations

    BACKGROUND: Parental involvement in homework is a home-based type of involvement in children's education. Research and theory suggest that it is beneficial for learning and achievement under certain conditions and for particular groups of individuals. AIMS: The study examined whether different types of parents' involvement in homework (autonomy support, control, interference, cognitive engagement) (1) are predicted by their mastery and performance goals for their child and their beliefs of the child's academic efficacy, and (2) predict student achievement goal orientations, efficacy beliefs, and achievement. Grade-level differences were also investigated. SAMPLE: The sample consisted of 282
