Abstract

This study explores the relationship between parental involvement in school activities and primary school students’ performance in reading and math in Latin America. We applied four-level multilevel analysis to data from the Second Regional Comparative and Explanatory Study (LLECE/UNESCO, 2012). The sample encompassed 3000 schools and approximately 180,000 3rd and 6th grade students from 15 Latin American countries. The analysis found that parental involvement in the school and the educational process has a direct effect on students’ academic achievement. Third-grade students who received parental help with homework achieved higher academic scores in both subjects; there was an LLECE/UNESCO, even greater difference when the mother provided this help. When parents attended meetings with the principal and teachers, as well as participated in extracurricular activities, there was a noticeable effect on students’ performance in both subjects.

Resumen

Este estudio explora la relación entre la participación de los padres en las actividades escolares y el rendimiento de los estudiantes de primaria en lectura y matemáticas en América Latina. Aplicamos análisis multinivel de cuatro niveles a los datos del Segundo Estudio Regional Comparativo y Explicativo (LLECE/UNESCO, 2012). La muestra abarcó 3.000 escuelas y aproximadamente 180.000 estudiantes de 3° y 6° grado de 15 países latinoamericanos. El análisis encontró que la participación de los padres en la escuela y el proceso educativo tiene un efecto directo en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes. Los estudiantes de tercer grado que recibieron ayuda de los padres con la tarea lograron puntajes académicos más altos en ambas materias; había una diferencia aún mayor cuando la madre proporcionaba esta ayuda. Cuando los padres asistieron a reuniones con el director y los maestros, y participaron en actividades extracurriculares, hubo un efecto notable en el rendimiento de los estudiantes en ambas materias.
