A sample of 180 form four students was selected to participate in the study. The research instrument used to collect data was a questionnaire. A pilot study was carried out and a split-half method was used to determine the reliability of the research instrument. Expert judgment was employed to determine the validity of the research instrument. The research was based on ecological systems theory which was advanced by Bronfenbrenner and the theory of overlapping spheres of influence proposed by Epstein. The researcher carried out analytical review of relevant literature. The data collected in the field was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, and null hypotheses tested at α= 0.05. The finding of this study revealed that parental involvement in education did not significantly influence students’ academic performance in Kuresoi district. The researcher recommends that parents who through encouragement should not pressure their children by making too high demands that may create in them anxiety and fear of failure instead they should provide effective motivation. |
