Read with three questions
- What does the article establish about how parental involvement and students’ after-school self-management relate to academic performance?
- Which behaviours were directly recorded, and which interpretations required an inference?
- How closely does the population described here match the family or setting you have in mind? The population to compare is adolescents studied in relation to after-school activities, self-management and parental involvement.
