“…Nickow et al (2020) indicate that randomized interventions focusing on 'parent tutoring' are not common in the literature, but they are highly effective, showing a pooled program effect of 0.23 SD on standardized test scores. Drawing upon the maternal literacy programs explored by Banerji et al (2017), as well as the parental involvement studies by Avvisati et al (2014), Islam (2019), and Koepp et al (2022), our paper innovates by combining these two streams of research. We demonstrate that volunteer-delivered learning support via basic mobile phones can both counteract learning losses during school closures and effectively involve mothers, even those with limited education, in their children's learning.…”

Previous literature has focused on the overall influence of parental involvement on adolescents’ academic performance, while less attention has been accorded to the reciprocal relationships between different forms of parental involvement and academic performance across gender. The present study examined the reciprocal associations between different forms of parental involvement and adolescents’ academic performance using nationally representative data. A total of 9449 Chinese adolescents (47.82% girls, Mage = 13.21, SD = 0.65, 91.20% Han Ethnicity) have participated in the two-year and two-wave longitudinal study. Cross-lagged model results indicated reciprocal associations between parent-reported involvement and academic performance. Autonomy-supportive parental involvement in Grade 7 was positively associated with better academic performance in Grade 8, while behavioral control was negatively associated with later academic performance. Parental socialization practices vary by adolescent’s gender. Compared with girls, boys experienced increased parental behavioral control in response to better academic performance. The findings reflect the persistence of stereotypical gender expectations and gender socialization in contemporary China.

Using a randomized experiment in 200 Bangladeshi villages, we evaluate the impact of an over-the-phone learning support intervention (telementoring) among primary school children and their mothers during Covid-19 school closures. Post-intervention, treated children scored 35% higher on a standardized test, and the homeschooling involvement of treated mothers increased by 22 minutes per day (26%). We also found that the intervention forestalled treated children's learning losses. When we returned to the participants one year later, after schools briefly reopened, we found that the treatment effects had persisted. Academically weaker children benefited the most from the intervention that only cost USD 20 per child.

Parent involvement and children's academic achievement: Evidence from a census of public school students in Brazil

Abstract: In order to broaden findings beyond high-income countries, this study used path models to test associations between parent involvement and student achievement in Brazil using a 2017 census of public school students in fifth grade (N = 2,167,729,
