The EFFECT OF FAMILY INVOLVEMENT in Education ON STUDENTs Holly M. Grover Clemson university August 2014
background • Defining family involvement in education: • At-home involvement • e.g., Family expectations and aspirations, Learning at home, Parenting style, Parent-student communication • At-school involvement • e.g., Parent-school communication, Volunteering, PTA Seeking for similarities across ethnic groups • African American • Hispanic • Asian • Caucasian
EFFECTS ON STUDENT OUTCOMES African American Strong or moderate* Weak* * Moderate effect sizes (ES) defined as at least .5 and weak effect sizes as at least .2 (see Rosnow & Rosenthal, 1996). Strong correlations (r) and beta coefficients (β or b) defined as at least .40, moderate as at least .30, and weak as at least .20. These effect sizes and correlations are not meant to be compared across studies. All reported relationships are significant at the .05 level or better. **Gray indicates a negative relationship aJeynes, 2003 bHalle et al., 1997 cHong & Ho, 2005 dReynolds & Gill, 1994 eMcNeal, 1999 fDesimone, 1999 gListed by Jeynes (2003) as being from a single study, not from his actual meta-analysish Yan, 1999; Effect when compared to high-achieving Caucasian students, ES= b/sdiKeith et al., 1998
EFFECTS ON STUDENT OUTCOMES HISPANIC * Moderate effect sizes (ES) defined as at least .5 and weak effect sizes as at least .2 (see Rosnow & Rosenthal, 1996). Strong correlations (r) and beta coefficients (β or b) defined as at least .40, moderate as at least .30, and weak as at least .20.

All reported relationships are significant at the .05 level or better. **Gray indicates a negative relationship a Hong & Ho, 2005 bDesimone, 1999 cJeynes, 2003; Hispanics combined with Asian Americans due to the low number of empirical studies with only Hispanics d Keith & Lichtman, 1994 eSteinberg et al., 1992 f Keith et al., 1998
EFFECTS ON STUDENT OUTCOMES ASIAN * Moderate effect sizes (ES) defined as at least .5 and weak effect sizes as at least .2 (see Rosnow & Rosenthal, 1996). Strong correlations (r) and beta coefficients (β or b) defined as at least .40, moderate as at least .30, and weak as at least .20.

EFFECTS ON STUDENT OUTCOMES CAUCASIAN * Moderate effect sizes (ES) defined as at least .5 and weak effect sizes as at least .2 (see Rosnow & Rosenthal, 1996).

Comparison of Family Involvement Component Relationships FOR MULTIPLE Ethnic Groups Moderate effect sizes (ES) are defined as at least .5 and weak effect sizes as at least .2 (see Rosnow & Rosenthal, 1996). Strong correlations (r) and beta coefficients (β or b) are defined as at least .40, moderate as at least .30, and weak as at least .20. All reported relationships are significant at the .05 level or better. Gray indicates a negative or undesirable outcome. n/a = not applicable because the study did not analyze Caucasians as a group for that variable a Hong & Ho, 2005 bHalle et al., 1997; Reynolds & Gill, 1994 cMau, 1997; includes one group of Asian Immigrants and one of Asian Americans dKeith et al., 1998 eJeynes, 2003 f Steinberg et al., 1992 gListed by Jeynes (2003) as being from a single study, not meta-analysis h McNeal, 1999 iDesimone, 1999
Involvement at home • Greater impact on students • More universal as several aspects impact students from 3-4 ethnic groups • No aspect of school-based involvement was significant at the .2 level or better for more than two of the four ethnic groups.
Data limitations Small sample sizes for some variables Lack of replication within ethnic groups and across ethnic groups No research on some involvement reported as important to parents
