“…It is a six-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 6 (strongly agree). Nine items are reverse scored (2,3,4,5,8,9,12,14,16), so that high scores indicate positive parental experience. Originally, the scale has a 17-item self-report questionnaire divided into two subscales: satisfaction from parental experience: items 1-9, and parental self-efficacy: items 10-17.…”

“…Findings suggest that parents involve themselves in student homework because they believe that they should be involved, believe that their involvement will make a positive difference, and perceive that their children or children's teachers want their involvement. William and William [16] examined the impact of different learning assignments on parental involvement in home learning and pointed out the importance of matching home tasks to the ability of parents to provide help for their child.…”

The present study focuses on the involvement of a parent in their child’s learning processes, particularly, their help-giving orientation while learning at home. The main goal of the study was to identify the connection between the parent’s personal characteristics and the help-giving orientation the parent provides to their child: autonomous vs. dependent (parent as student) help-giving. The sample was collected using online participant recruitment surveys in Israel. In total, 306 parents aged 27–59, who had at least one child in elementary school, answered five questionnaires measuring the research variables: the short grit scale; the satisfaction with life scale; the advice/affect management–overparenting subscale; the parenting sense of competence scale; the parental help-giving orientations scale (PHGOs), and a background questionnaire. The findings identified negative associations between parental personal characteristics (grit, advice/affect management, well-being) and parent-as-student orientation and positive associations between the parent’s characteristics and parental autonomous help-giving orientation, with all of these effects at least partially mediated by parental self-efficacy (indirect effects). The results provide greater insight into the relationship between a parent’s personal characteristics and their choice of assistance to their child and contribute to the knowledge regarding parental involvement in learning at home and educational contexts in general.

“…(Willis et al, 2023). In fact, emphasis on the importance of formative assessment in the fields of language, science and mathematics as well as physical education can improve the quality of teaching (Chng & Lund, 2021;Jahan & Davison, 2023;Taole, 2022;Williams & Williams, 2022). Nevertheless, teachers were found neglecting formative assessment because they still prioritized summative assessment as a method to assess students' academic abilities (Govender, 2019).…”

“…Furthermore, students can improve their autonomy and competence in learning when formative assessment is implemented in teaching sessions (Nikou & Economides, 2021). When parents are involved in formative assessment, students are found to have lower stress thus stimulating their interest in learning (Williams & Williams, 2022). At the same time, formative assessment can help teachers support the learning of students with learning disability (Willis et al, 2023).…”

Assessment is a process to assess students' knowledge, skills, and tendencies through the process of collecting and analyzing information. The value or importance of assessment is important because teachers play a role in assessing student achievement and planning teaching strategies. This study aims to identify articles that discuss assessment as, for and of learning; connecting the assessment approach with teachers' beliefs about the importance of assessment and evaluating the importance of assessment approach to teacher assessment practices and student learning. A total of 27 articles were selected based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) model. The findings show that assessment as learning is discussed in four articles, assessment for learning is discussed in 25 articles and assessment of learning is discussed in four articles. Based on the number of articles that discuss assessment approaches, the value of assessment for learning is seen as more important than assessment as and of learning. This study has the potential to provide information for teachers and policy makers to focus on a more effective assessment approach in improving student development. Further studies can be carried out through qualitative research methods and the construction of specific instruments on assessment values.

“…Success is usually considered unachievable if no one can assist them and make them dependent. As a result, Williams and Williams (2022) demonstrated that parents who provided opportunities for mathematics discussion increased the quality of their children's engagement. Opportunities are becoming essential as research shows that aiding math learning in various ways, such as providing a pleasant environment, can reduce anxiety levels (Luttenberger, 2022).…”

Mathematics has traditionally been regarded as an important topic for the fundamental development of skills since it necessitates language and thinking. With these required skills, students with less mathematics experience rely largely on learning opportunities. Providing mathematics learning opportunities for children may encourage them to study. Students are more likely to participate in learning when teachers provide additional support. Previous research has concentrated on both effective teaching and learning as well as student challenges. Despite this, the current challenging circumstances have resulted in fewer options for students to explore. As a result, this research aims to determine how teachers and parents in a rural mathematics community in Malaysia create opportunities for students to participate in mathematics education. Teachers, parents, and students make up the community. A case study was used to obtain qualitative data via interview. This study included four teachers and two parents. Purposive sampling was used to select the samples, with participants agreeing to be involved. The findings revealed that the teachers and parents were equally concerned about their children's education and focused on mentoring them. To help their children, the parents relied on technology. This study provides input on strategies used to engage students in mathematics education.
