Parental involvement of immigrant parents: a meta-synthesis (2019, background): “…students (Hill and Tyson 2009; Jeynes 2005, 2007), minority children (Jeynes 2003) and general student population (Fan and Chen 2001), while others looked at specific types of involvement ranging from help with homework (Patall, Cooper, and Robinson 2008) to literacy (Senechal and Young 2008).”
Children’s cognitive ability and their academic achievement: the mediation effects of parental expectations (2012, background): “This result implies that the educational background of parents becomes irrelevant as they become more experienced in generating an educational ambiance where they communicate their expectations to their children (Jeynes 2005; Patall et al. 2008).”
The Relationship Between Parental Involvement and Mathematics Achievement for Students With Visual Impairments (2012, background): “Many parents may not be comfortable helping their children with mathematics (Patall et al., 2008) and more so for parents of students with VI. Complications such as possible need for Braille (and therefore Nemeth code) or absence of appropriate accommodations may further decrease parental comfort.”
Homework Completion at the Secondary School Level: A Multilevel Analysis (2011, background): “A number of studies have pointed to the potential role of adults in homework completion ( Balli, Demo, & Wedman, 1998 ; Patall, Cooper, & Robinson, 2008 ; Trautwein, Ludtke, Schnyder, & Niggli, 2006 ; Xu & Corno, 1998 ).”
A synthesis of studies searching for school factors: implications for theory and research (2010, neutral): “During the last two decades, many quantitative syntheses of studies searching for relationships between student achievement and factors such as homework, quality of teaching and parental involvement have been conducted (e.g. Seidel & Shavelson, 2007; Abrami et al., 2008; Patall et al., 2008).”
Relationships between perceived parental involvement in homework, student homework behaviors, and academic achievement: differences among elementary, junior high, and high school students (2015, background): “2000; Hill and Tyson 2009), the results of previous research are not unanimous (Patall et al. 2008).”
Parental Involvement in Math Homework: Links to Children’s Performance and Motivation (2019, background): “Previous research findings on the association between parental involvement in homework and children’s performance are mixed (for an overview, see Hill & Tyson, 2009; Patall et al., 2008).”
