Abstract

The present study examined both mothers’ reports and adolescents’ perceptions of parents’ educational involvement and their effects on the adolescents’ functioning in school. The sample was drawn from 5 urban schools in Israel. Participants were 449 eighth grade students/adolescents (Female = 47%) and 126 mothers. Adolescents and their mothers completed parallel parents’ educational involvement questionnaires, and adolescents completed questionnaires on learning strategies and self-evaluation. Multiple-group confirmatory factor analyses, based on the mothers’ reports and adolescents’ perceptions of parents’ educational involvement revealed three factors: home-based, school-based, and communication-based knowledge of adolescents’ activities in school. The analysis showed no relation between mothers’ reports and adolescents’ perceptions. However, adolescents’ perceptions of their parents’ educational involvement were significant predictors of the adolescents’ learning strategies, self-evaluation, and academic achievement. Findings underline the congruence and incongruence between mothers and their adolescents, and the significant role parents play in their adolescents’ schooling according to the adolescents’ perceptions.

父母教育参与:母亲报告与青少年认知哪个更重要?

本研究调查了母亲的报告和青少年对父母教育参与的看法，以及他们对青少年在学校功能的影响。样本来自以色列的5所城市学校。参与者为449名八年级学生/青少年(女性占47%)和126名母亲。青少年及其母亲填写平行父母教育参与问卷，青少年填写学习策略问卷和自我评价问卷。基于母亲报告和青少年对父母教育参与的认知，多组验证性因素分析揭示了三个因素:基于家庭、基于学校和基于交流的青少年学校活动知识。分析显示，母亲的报告与青少年的看法之间没有关系。然而，青少年对父母教育参与的感知对青少年的学习策略、自我评价和学业成绩有显著的预测作用。研究结果强调了母亲与青少年之间的一致性和不一致性，以及根据青少年的感知，父母在青少年的学校教育中发挥的重要作用。
