Abstract

This abstract presents a study that examines the influence of family participation on academic performance among high school students. The present investigation was carried out utilizing the survey methodology, employing the subsequent protocol. The study's sample consisted of pupils in the 10th grade. The current investigation consisted of a cohort of 1238 pupils enrolled in the 10th grade. The above sample was chosen from the city of Lahore. Table 1 provides a comprehensive overview of the demographic composition of the student population. A sample of 84 schools was picked in a random manner from Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. The researcher employed a stratified random sample technique to obtain data from the selected schools, utilizing a personally administered questionnaire to measure parental engagement. Following the authorization of school principals, the pupils were selected in a random manner. The responders ensured the maintenance of anonymity and secrecy. The participants provided ratings on the frequency with which their family members engaged in particular activities, using a scale ranging from 1 (indicating no occurrence) to 5 (indicating frequent occurrence). The greatest score denoted a greater degree of parental engagement, whilst the lower score suggested a lesser degree of parental engagement. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of family engagement on the academic performance of high school students, specifically focusing on the ways in which parents can contribute to their children's educational endeavors in order to foster favorable outcomes. The findings of the research indicate that the engagement of families has a noteworthy and favorable influence on the academic performance of students, including elevated grades, enhanced attendance, and increased drive to acquire knowledge
