Parental Involvement and Academic Motivation in Early Years: A Quantitative Analysis

Abstract

    Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) aims to develop a child's social, emotional, cognitive, and physical needs integrally in order to lay a strong base for everlasting learning and positive transformation of students. The objective was to find out the relationship between early-year parental involvement and academic motivation along with the impact between these two variables. The researcher also sought to find out the moderating effect of the educational level of parents on the relationship between early-year parental involvement and academic motivation. The researcher applied a quantitative methodology and the correlational data analysis reflected a strong, impactful and significant relationship. The moderating test results showed that the educational level of parents has a positive moderating effect. It is recommended that parental counselling and parental educational programs should be implemented in Pakistan so that parents can upgrade their education and enlighten their minds to nurture and support early-year pupils.
