The Effect of Self-Efficacy on Parental Involvement at the Secondary

This paper investigates the types of parent involvement activities that are undertaken with teenagers in high school. Using a survey, the study asked parents to describe their self-efficacy regarding learning activities and then sought to determine if there was a correlation between the self-efficacy rating and frequency and type of learning activities parents engage in. Using open ended questions, the study asked parents for their input on what the school could do to help them increase their involvement.
