Abstract :
Conducted with 150 participants, the research
sought to investigate the intricate interplay among
diverse educational variables and the academic
accomplishments of adolescents. Utilizing a
questionnaire comprising 60 items, we explored
dimensions such as parent-child communication,
parental involvement in school tasks, parental
expectations regarding school, schooling, motivation,
and academic outcomes. The obtained results were
analyzed using the causal paths method. Our conclusion
highlighted significant associations among these
variables. Specifically, parent-child communication
emerged as a pivotal factor, positively influencing
schooling, parental guidance in school tasks, and
academic success. Moreover, active parental engagement
in scholastic activities exhibited a favorable influence on
scholastic accomplishments, simultaneously shaping
parental outlook on education. Additionally, our
research revealed that parental expectations were linked
to students' motivation to complete tasks at home. In
parallel, individual variables such as gender, age, and
family situation also exhibited distinct impacts on
academic achievement. The research provides a
comprehensive insight into the underlying mechanisms
of adolescent academic success, underscoring the
significance of parent-child communication and
guidance within the educational context, all stemming
from the analysis through the causal paths ‘method.
