Abstract

Education is particularly important, both individually and collectively. As an essential part of a student’s education, family education is worthy of attention and study. This study aims to find effective ways to address home education issues and improve student achievement by examining the impact of family structure and parental involvement on student learning. This paper does so by using data from China Education Panel Survey 2013-2014 (CEPS). It first explores the relationship between family structure and parental involvement styles and then explores the relationship between parental involvement and student achievement. Analysis of the data shows that parental involvement varies by family structure, and families with stable family structures and a higher level of parental involvement tend to have better student achievements. The results suggest that parents should increase parental involvement in their children’s learning through supervision and communication, and increase parental involvement while also trying to strengthen the family structure.
