[...] Studies tend to generalize results without always considering the specifics of disadvantaged or immigrant families. A limitation of the study also includes a limited impact of the intervention tools intended to improve parental engagement. As highlighted by Deniger et al. (2009), these tools are often ineffective or poorly evaluated. This lack of information on the effectiveness of intervention programs promotes the repetition of inequalities or failure models. In conclusion, most studies focus on academic results as indicators of success, neglecting other factors such as well-being, social skills, or family relationships. [...]
[...] Parental Engagement in Children's Education, Questions and Challenges ; in the International Review of Family Education (n°28) - Débora Poncelet and Véronique Francis (2010) - Results of the study I. Data collection What types of data were collected (quantitative, qualitative) ? According to the studies conducted in the document, the types of data collected vary depending on the research objectives. Those established on the PIRLS (Programme international de recherche en lecture scolaire), PISA (Programme international pour le suivi des acquis des élèves) and EDD (Éducation au développement durable) databases use quantitative data.

[...] The statistical analysis methods used include meta-analyses drawn from various research, such as that conducted by Pattal et al. (2008), in order to summarize the global impacts of parental engagement on student academic performance. They also include correlational models, used to evaluate the relationships between various aspects of parental engagement, such as home supervision and academic performance. Among the statistical analysis methods used, we also note regression analyses for the study of relationships between dependent variables (children's academic performance) and independent variables (parental practices).

[...] The results largely confirm the initial hypothesis indicating that parental engagement, under various aspects, positively affects children's academic performance. Parental engagement at home, such as homework supervision or communication about school matters, is more closely linked to academic success than involvement in school activities. However, this relationship changes depending on the age of each child and socio-economic contexts. For example, parental practices oriented towards emotional support and autonomy are significantly beneficial to secondary school students (12-15 years old), while direct parental involvement through homework supervision is more crucial at the primary level.
