Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study examined parent involvement in children’s education among the Israeli Arab population and the degree of influence of various background fac-tors on their involvement. The correlations between parent involvement and pupil achievement were examined in relation to the characteristics of the pu-pils (i.e., age, gender). About 400 parents participated in this research, and a parent involvement questionnaire was used to measure the degree of involve-ment. It was found that parents of girls participated and were involved in their daughters ’ studies more than parents of boys. It was also found that the more parents supported and believed in the importance of learning, the higher their children’s achievement was. Regarding age level, it was found that parents of children in elementary schools participated and were more involved in the edu-cation of their child than parents of children in secondary schools.
