What can a home–school relationship contribute to a conversation about how a student is doing?
The authors model parent–teacher relationships alongside emotional reactivity and students' depressive symptoms. Relationship data sit alongside, rather than substitute for, student experience.
Who was studied?
465 Greek students and 51 teachers from 26 schools, including students with special educational needs.
Age / stage: Ages ten to fourteen
Read with three questions
- How did the researchers identify students with special educational needs?
- Which measures came from the same participant, and which had an independent source?
- Where do children, families and educators each have a voice in the evidence?
Keep the limits in view
A cross-sectional account measures variables in the same period. It cannot establish which came first; participants reporting more than one measure may also introduce shared reporting bias.
