Abstract Details

2008, Doctor of Education, University of Akron, Educational Administration.
This dissertation examined the relationship between parental involvement, self-regulated learning (SRL), and reading achievement of fifth graders using an archival data research design. Through a path analysis of the fifth grade data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998-1999 (ECLS-K), this dissertation identified six dimensions of parental involvement that are likely to foster SRL of fifth graders: School Involvement, TV Rules, Homework Help, Homework Frequency, Parental Education Expectations, and Extracurricular Activities. Of them, three dimensions, Parental Education Expectations, School Involvement and Homework Help, were found to have stronger effect on SRL; Parental Education Expectations was found to have the strongest beneficial effect on SRL. In addition, the results of this dissertation demonstrate that both School Involvement and Parental Education Expectations have the same strongest effect on fifth graders's reading achievement. Finally, the dissertation found that SRL mediates the relationship between parental involvement and reading achievement. These results provide a framework for educators and policymakers to engage parents more effectively in their children's education process by helping parents to promote their children's SRL.
