Abstract
In this study, the relationship between parents’ involvement level of secondary school students and of their academic success was analyzed and it was investigated whether parents’ involvement level changes according to parents’ gender, age, educational status, family’s socio-economic level, gender of student and class level or not. The research sample was composed of 265 female and 227 male students, a total of 492 secondary school students, and of their parents. “Family Involvement Scales” were used to measure parents’ involvement level. In order to determine students’ academic success, the final achievement weighted score of students for the previous year was used. For the data analysis, besides descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation coefficient, one-way analysis of variance and independent samples t-test was used. As a result of the research, it was identified that the parents’ involvement level was shown a significant difference according to parents' gender and socio-economic level of the family. As a result of the research, it has been found to be a significant positive relationship between parents’ involvement level of secondary school students’ and their academic success. As parents’ involvement level increases, academic success also increases. ÖzetBu çalışmada ortaokul öğrencilerinin anne-baba katılım düzeyi ile akademik başarıları arasındaki ilişki incelenmiş ve anne-baba katılım düzeyinin ebeveynin cinsiyetine, yaşına, eğitim durumuna, ailenin sosyo-ekonomik düzeyine, öğrencinin cinsiyetine ve sınıf düzeyine göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığı araştırılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini 265’i kız, 227’si erkek olmak üzere toplam 492 ortaokul öğrencisi ve bunların anne-babaları oluşturmuştur. Ebeveynlerin anne-baba katılım düzeylerini ölçmek amacıyla “Aile Katılım Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin akademik başarılarını tespit etmek amacıyla öğrencinin bir önceki yıla ilişkin ağırlıklı yıl sonu başarı puanı kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistiklerin yanında Spearman korelasyon katsayısı, tek yönlü varyans analizi ve bağımsız örneklem t-testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda anne-baba katılım düzeyinin ebeveynlerin cinsiyetine ve ailenin sosyo-ekonomik düzeyine göre anlamlı bir farklılık gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda ortaokul öğrencilerinin anne-baba katılım düzeyi ile akademik başarıları arasında anlamlı pozitif bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Anne-baba katılım düzeyi arttıkça akademik başarı da artmaktadır.
