Evaluating the Long-Term Effects of Parental Involvement in Child’s Education

Abstract

This study investigates the long-term effects of parental involvement in a child’s education, utilizing a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis. The study employs co-relational analysis to explore the potential association between the degree of parental involvement throughout childhood and subsequent educational attainment, career choices, and self-reported life satisfaction in adulthood. The research utilizes a sample of 200 individuals aged 25-60, with varying levels of parental involvement reported through retrospective self-reports and parent-teacher communication records from their school files, obtained with informed consent.
