Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
The objective of this systematic literature review is to analyze the literature on parental participation in their childrens education in primary schools in Malaysia. This review procedure entails searching, screening, evaluating, and synthesizing publications on parental engagement from several electronic databases, including Scopus, Taylor & Francis, ERIC, Google Scholar, MyCite, and Research Gate. The publications included in the analysis were published within the last 10 years (20122021). The findings of the analysis reveal that the degree of parental involvement in their childrens education is high in most studies. Furthermore, there are several effects of parental involvement in their childrens education, with a positive effect being the most common. Some challenges faced by parents are also reported, including factors related to parents, children, teachers, and schools. This review suggests that the relationships between parents, teachers, and children could be better organized to maximize the impact of educational opportunities on children. Additionally, more empirically-based studies are needed to enhance our understanding of the effects of parental involvement on childrens learning. 2023, Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science.
