Parental Involvement, Academic Performance, Student Motivation, Social Behaviour, Secondary EducationAbstract
The research article addresses the idea of how parental involvement would encourage social behavior and performance of learners within the District of Dera Ghazi Khan and secondary schools. The validated five-point Likert scale questionnaire and a descriptive research method were applied to them to gather the data on a stratified random sample (397 tenth-grade students in public schools). The reliability of the tools was ensured using the Cronbach alpha analysis and a pilot study. Both descriptive and inferential statistics and regression were used to test the null hypotheses. The results will help in explaining the specific relationships that are being looked at that can be useful to teachers, parents, and policymakers in creating further successful strategies that will lead to improved student outcomes through better interaction between parents.
