Abstract


This study examined the relationship between parental involvement and academic achievement through the meta-analysis technique.

The result showed the correlation between parental involvement with academic achievement with r=0.251. The result could be concluded that there was a significant correlation between parent involvement and academic achievement. The estimated correlation value of this study is consistent with the previous meta-analysis studies on a similar topic.
