Abstract
Parental Inducement of Self-Regulation, Self-Concept, and Academic Achievement. The authors tested a theoretical model where parental inducement of self-regulated learning in ordinary home tasks is hypothesized to have a general significant and positive influence on their children's perceptions of competence about themselves as students, and these, in turn, on achievement obtained in different academic areas. The model was contrasted in a group of students (N= 226) from Compulsory Secondary Education using the following instruments: The Questionnaire of Parental Inducement of Self-Regulated Learning; and the Self-Description Questionnaire (SDQ-II). Academic Achievement was measured by the grades obtained by the students in different areas at the end of the academic year. The results obtained confirm the hypotheses postulated in the theoretical model, and sugg est the importance of promoting family-school interactions.
