This was a correlational study of students' perceptions and attitudes toward parent involvement in students' academic homework and its relationship to students' academic achievement in school. / The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship, if any, between parent involvement in their children's academic achievement in school as measured by performance on the Student Homework Survey (SHS) questionnaire, and the following tests: The Comprehensive Assessment Test (CAT) for grades three and five; and the Comprehensive Tests of Basic Skills (CTBS) for grade eight. / The major question of the study was: Do students' perceptions and attitudes toward parent involvement in academic homework play a significant role in academic achievement among students? Four sub-questions were used to ascertain students' perceptions and attitudes toward (1) academic homework, (2) parent-teacher communication, (3) parent involvement and student academic achievement, and (4) students' attitudes toward parent involvement. A five-point Likert-type scale was used to rate the students' responses in the four categories assessed. / The findings of this study, based on inclusive results, do not show that students' perceptions and attitudes toward parent involvement in academic homework and academic achievement are significantly correlated. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 51-12, Section: A, page: 4018. / Major Professor: David Leslie. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1990.
