Abstract

One of the many ways of improving achievement in school subjects is to study factors that research have identified as aiding achievement. This is needed in mathematics because of the low achievement of learners in both school and public examinations at all levels of education in Nigeria. The study examined the mediating effect of Parent-Teacher-Partnership Attitude on the relationship between parent qualification and children mathematics achievement. A sample of 4146 students was drawn from 72 randomly selected private and public schools in 12 Local Government Areas (LGA) in the three senatorial districts of Oyo State. One rural LGA was purposively picked and three urban LGAs were randomly selected from each senatorial district. The result of the analysis revealed that Parent-Teacher-Partnership Attitude (PTP) partially mediates the relationship between parent qualification and children mathematics achievement since indirect effects (PQ → PPTPA, t=4.423,p=0.000; PPTPA → Math Ach, t=6.697, p=0.000) is significant and the direct effect (PQ → Math Ach, t=8.272, p=0.000) is also significant. Hence school administrators and policy makers should encourage mathematics teachers to develop healthy relationship with parents to boost students’ achievement in mathematics.


Key words: Parent-Teacher-Partnership Attitude, Parent qualification, Achievement and mediation analysis.
