Relación entre la implicación de los padres y las madres en el hogar, la intensidad de las discusiones sobre temas escolares y los resultados académicos de alumnos de primaria

Abstract

Background. The starting point of this research is Rogers, Theule, Ryan and Keating (2009) home based parental involvement model, that differentiate s between management, p articipation, support and pressure control. The role that parental involvement plays in children’s academic results is analysed following the model along with the family climate measured by the level of school related family conflict. Method. 76 primary sc hool students, 64 of their mothers and 56 of their parents participated. Results. There is a significant and negative correlation between fathers’ and mothers’ pressure and academic achievement. Also the correlation is significant and negative between the intensity and the frequency of school related family conflict and school outcomes. Regression analysis identifies a model in which the intensity of school related family conflict significantly predicts academic results. Conclusion. The se data reveal the bi directionality of family school relationships and the reciprocal impact of one on the other and on children’s academic results.
