PARENT INVOLVEMENT IN HOMEWORK IN MONGOLIA

This descriptive research aims at defining the level of parent involvement in Mongolia, and to lesser extent, to study its differentials. The convenient sampling was adopted and 295 parents (or persons who look after the child) were selected from Grades 6-11 of secondary schools in Ulaanbaatar. Qualitative and (descriptive) quantitative methods were used in data analysis. Among others, research finding suggests that although almost all parents do believe that they are involved in education of their children, merely 58 percent of parents do involve in education of the child helping with homework.
