Parental Involvement in Schooling, Classroom Environment and Student Outcomes
Adamski, Aurora; Fraser, Barry J.; Peiro, Maria M.
Learning Environments Research, v16 n3 p315-328 Oct 2013
We investigated relationships between students' perceptions of parental involvement in schooling, their Spanish classroom environment and student outcomes (attitudes and achievement). Modified Spanish versions of the What Is Happening In this Class?, Test of Spanish-Related Attitudes-L[subscript 1], a parental involvement questionnaire and a Spanish achievement test were administered to 223 Hispanic Grade 4-6 students in South Florida. The factor structure and internal consistency reliability of the questionnaires was supported. Strong associations were found for parental involvement with students' learning environment perceptions and student outcomes, and for Spanish classroom environment with student outcomes. When the unique and common variances in student outcomes explained by the classroom environment and the home environment were examined, the home environment was more influential than the classroom environment in terms of students' attitudes, but the classroom environment was more influential than the home environment in terms of achievement.
