Abstract
Parental intrafamilial engagement in supporting child's learning is an integral part of parental support for the child's education, particularly significant for the child's academic development during the first years of schooling. The aim of this work was to examine the relationship between, on the one hand, parental perception of their own role in the child's education and their self-assessment of effectiveness in supporting the child's learning, and, on the other hand, parental self-assessment of intrafamilial engagement in supporting the child's learning during primary education. The results, obtained by surveying parents of primary education students (N=204) in the area of the city of Rijeka using an online questionnaire, suggest that respondents believe that active engagement in their child's education is an important part of their parental role, that they express a high level of self-efficacy for supporting the child's learning and that they often apply various activities to support the child's learning during primary education. The results further indicate that parents who consider their role in their child’s education important, as well as parents with a higher level of self-efficacy in supporting their child’s learning, are more likely to engage in various activities to support their child’s learning during primary education.
Keywords
parental beliefs about their own role in the child's education; parental beliefs about their own self-efficacy in supporting their child's learning.
