The need to strengthen the educative role of parents: Some implications drawn from educational productivity research
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 February 2016
Abstract
This article considers the empirical results of educational productivity research conducted by a team of researchers from Australia and the United States in the mid 1980s. Based on nine factors identified by this research, three issues that highlight the important educative role of parents, namely, the quality of the home learning environment, homework support and monitoring television viewing are discussed.
