ABSTRACT
Parental involvement has become one of the most debated facets of education today. The discussion over parental support for children’s studies has not been limited to educators, but has become an important topic among parents, social scientists, and politicians. Although a myriad of educators has focused on the importance of parental involvement to children excelling in school, a metaanalysis is of utmost utility because it gives insight into what the overall body of research indicates. This fact largely contributes to a limited body of knowledge that exists regarding which aspects of parental involvement help student education and just what components of this involvement are most important (Christian et al., 1998).
