Subclaims¶

q3 i? Latent profile analysis identified four classes at baseline and follow-up: High Contact/High Comfort, Low Contact/Medium Comfort, Low Contact/Low Comfort, and an intermediate fourth class. → Herman and Reinke 2017 q3 i? The Low Contact/Low Comfort class had significantly lower academic performance than the other three groups, with WJ math and reading standard scores 10 points lower than the Low Contact/High Comfort class. → Herman and Reinke 2017 (2)

Evidence¶

Herman and Reinke 2017¶

Herman, K. C., & Reinke, W. M. (2017). Improving Teacher Perceptions of Parent Involvement Patterns: Findings From a Group Randomized Trial. School Psychology Quarterly, 32(1), 89-104. http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/spq0000169

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Latent profile analyses of teacher ratings of parent contact and comfort at baseline and follow-up; a parametric bootstrapping likelihood ratio test confirmed the four-class model fit better than three classes. Roughly half the sample fell into Low Contact/Medium Comfort (54.8% and 47.3%).

"The four class solution included three classes that we hypothesized: (1) High Con- tact/High Comfort, (2) Low Contact/Medium Comfort, and (3) Low Contact/Low Comfort."

Herman and Reinke 2017 (2)¶

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Equality tests of means across follow-up classes using posterior probability-based multiple imputations (Table 2). The Low Contact/Low Comfort class had significantly lower academic performance across all comparisons; WJ Reading means ranged from 92.42 to 103.47.

"Notably, the mean standard score on the math and reading subtests of the WJ was 10 points lower for students in the Low Contact/ Low Comfort compared to the Low Contact/ High Comfort class."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Home Learning Environment — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

• Low contact alone was not associated with adverse student outcomes; the Low Contact/High Comfort profile had the most favorable correlates — reports the opposite
• The Low Contact/Low Comfort profile was more likely to contain parents of FRL and African American students — related
