SANCHEZ ESCOBEDO, Pedro Antonio; VALDES CUERVO, Ángel Alberto; REYES MENDOZA, Nayely Melina  y  CARLOS MARTINEZ, Ernesto Alonso. Parental involvement in primary school children in Mexico. Liberabit [online]. 2010, vol.16, n.1, pp. 71-80. ISSN 1729-4827.

A quantitative study was performed aimed to describe parental involvement in their primary school children’s educational process in Mexico and evaluate the effects on themselves of variables belonging to parents and to students. A measurement instrument was prepared and it turned out to be useful and have satisfactory psychometric keys. Key variables were measured in both parents and children using a paper-based questionnaire answered by 90 public school and 77 private school parents. It was found that parental involvement is high in their children’s educational process; this involvement increases in parents with a higher educational level, and when children are younger as well. It was established that children with higher achievement have parents with higher levels of involvement compared to those with lower achievement.

Palabras clave : Primary School Children; Parental Involvement; School Achievement In Mexico.
