Prior research has shown that parents help their children manage homework (i.e. environment, time, motivation and emotion management), especially in elementary school. However, researchers have not developed and validated a scale focused on those dimensions.
The purpose of the present study is to validate the Parental Homework Management Scale (PHMS) for parents of elementary school children in the domain of mathematics. A sample of 2,118 parent-child dyads was split randomly into two groups to conduct the analysis in two stages: (i) exploratory factor analysis on Group 1 and (ii) confirmatory factor analysis on Group 2.
PHMS is comprised of two distinct but related factors (i.e. environment-time and motivation-emotion management). Results further indicated that the PHMS was positively related to homework self-regulation and positive emotions, and negatively related to math achievement. Contrary to expectations, no relationship was found between PHMS and amount of student homework completed.
The scale revealed good psychometric quality.
先前的研究表明,父母会帮助孩子管理家庭作业(即环境、时间、动机和情绪管理),尤其是在小学阶段。然而,研究人员尚未开发和验证一个专注于这些维度的量表。
本研究的目的是验证针对小学生家长在数学领域的家庭作业管理量表(PHMS)。一个由 2118 对亲子组成的样本被随机分成两组,分两个阶段进行分析:(i)第 1 组进行探索性因素分析,(ii)第 2 组进行验证性因素分析。
PHMS 由两个不同但相关的因素组成(即环境-时间和动机-情绪管理)。结果进一步表明,PHMS 与家庭作业自我调节和积极情绪呈正相关,与数学成绩呈负相关。与预期相反,PHMS 与学生完成的家庭作业量之间没有关系。
该量表具有良好的心理测量学质量。
