Sažetak
The survey about mother’s involvement in schoolchildren’s education has been conducted among 108 mothers in the 1st, 3rd and 5th grade of elementary school. Statistical analyses have indicated that the fi ndings of the survey were in compliance with some of the research hypotheses. Mothers of higher educational background are more involved in indirect teaching of their children, but there are no differences in the amount of indirect teaching and cooperation with school due to educational background of mothers. Mothers’ involvement declines as their children grow up from the 1st to the 5th grade, which refers to all types of involvement, besides cooperation with school. At the same time, children’s school success also declines with their growth from the 1st to the 5th grade. Their school success is signifi cantly related to their mothers’ involvement to a greater extent than to some other types of involvement. Children whose mothers have a higher educational background achieve better results in school. Given the results of this survey, some practical measures are recommended in order to increase the quality of cooperation between parents and school, including the effi ciency of parents’ involvement, and also to maintain the school success on the initial high level in higher grades as well.
