Parental Value System

Literature Review:

This literature review will define the overarching importance of parental value systems that utilize long-term academic discussions and encouragement for increased student performance in the domestic environment. The value system of parental involvement in student education is a primary feature of American education, which has been clinically evaluated in studies on academic success in the domestic environment. For example. the argument brought forth by Boxer et al (2009) defines the immediate effects of parental involvement as a value system that encourages academic discussions in the home to encourage the child’s interest in learning and success as a student. In line with longitudinal studies spanning a shorter time frame,

McNeal (2015) defines the important factors of the parent-child discussions part of the “ecology” of the home environment, which substantiates the premise that educational standards can be improved in student performance (p.574). these discussion extend the findings of Boxer et al (2009), which dictate the family values of academic discussions in the home that encourage increased success of student performance in school. McNeal (2015 utilized a longitudinal study of 8th graders and 10th graders (12,101 cases) from a 1988 study that continues (every two years) to gauge parental interaction with children as a value system. McNeal’s findings suggest a strong correlation between parent-child discussions on academic subjects a being an important habit/value system to encourage increased student performance in the domestic

The studies by McNeal (2015 and Boxer et al (2009) define a positive trend in longitudinal studies that confirm that parents have historical (in the 1960s, 1980s, and to the present), which may provide long-term generational evaluations of family values as a standard criterion for education in the home. This raised an important question: How can parents and their children harness the specific values and behaviors that were used to improve student performance in this generational/historical precedent? More so, the importance of ‘family discussions” and domestic interaction may be a crucial answer to the success or failure of the student in the school environment. Finally, the National PTA report provides some of the specific behaviors and value systems that encourage familial involvement through family meetings,. Discussions, and parental assistance for the student at home. However, the limitations of the National PTA report is that it is based only on the Henderson & Mapp (2002) clinical study, which has been utilized as a primary source for the National PTA standards. These important clinical studies define the overarching issues of value systems and behavioral patterns of parental involvement in student learning, which can be achieved in the domestic environment.
