Parent’s encouragement and Student Achievement at primary level: A correlational study

Abstract

This research study explores the intricate and vital connection between parental encouragement and student achievement within the context of primary education. The primary level of education serves as the foundation for a child's academic journey, making it imperative to understand how parental involvement and support can influence the educational outcomes of young learners. The goal of this study is to investigate the extent to which parental encouragement impacts student achievement at the primary level. A diverse sample of parents and primary-level students has been recruited to participate in this study, allowing for a comprehensive investigation into the relationship between parental encouragement and academic success. The quantitative phase involves the distribution of surveys to parents in order to determine their level of involvement, support, and encouragement in the education about their child. These surveys were also capture key demographic information to identify any potential influencing factors. Concurrently, standardized test scores and academic records of the participating students were examined to gauge their academic achievements. The findings from this research shed light on the significance of parental encouragement as a contributing factor to student achievement at the primary level. This study also aims to identify best practices and strategies that parents can employ to provide effective support to the education of their children. Ultimately, the results of this research will inform educational policymakers, school administrators, teachers, and parents on the importance of fostering a positive home-school partnership to enhance the academic success of primary-level students.
