The Impact of Teacher and Parental Involvement on Students' Academic Performance: A Statistical Analysis in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study examines how collaboration between teachers and parents affects students' academic performance in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Data were gathered through questionnaires using simple random sampling. The analysis included descriptive statistics for demographic details and statistical tests like Chi-square, one-way ANOVA, and t-tests to explore relationships between variables. The results showed a strong positive impact of teacher-parent collaboration on students' grades, behavior, motivation, and attitudes toward learning. These findings suggest that fostering partnerships between educators and families can significantly enhance student success, with implications that may apply globally.
