By focusing on the rural context, this research contributes to the existing literature by offering a more nuanced understanding of parental involvement, potentially uncovering challenges and strategies that are unique to rural communities. The literature lacks a parent typology based on qualitative research. The most common types of parents are: “aversive”, “ ambitious “, “partner”, “accountable”, “networking”. The benefits of parental support for children’s learning at home have been widely emphasized by experts in recent research. Active parental involvement has a positive impact on student achievement and learning. It also gives parents a better insight into school life and enables them to develop a partnership with the teachers.application/pdfparental involvementparental role perceptionhomeworkstudent achievementParental Assistance with Assignments – Types of Parental Involvement in HomeworkfolyóiratcikkOpen Accessby the authorshttps://doi.org/10.37441/cejer/2023/5/2/13274Central European Journal of Educational Research25CEJER2677-0326
