The Impact of Parental Involvement on Children’s Self-Regulated Learning in the Post-Digital Era: A Systematic Review of Empirical Studies
Linxi Zhao
ABSTRACT:
Parental involvement plays a crucial role in fostering children’s self-regulated learning (SRL), yet its underlying influential mechanisms remain complex and inconsistent. Especially, advanced and various digital media are considered as double-edged sword on the development of children’s learning. Grounded in sociocultural theory and social capital theory, this systematic review synthesizes empirical studies from the past decade to explore how parental involvement influences SRL in the digital era, examining experiences of parental involvement via digital media, and its influences on SRL within diverse sociocultural contexts. Following PRISMA guidelines, 2,192 studies have been retrieved from SSCI, ERIC, BEI, IBSS, and PsychInfo and will be further screened using the PICO framework, focusing on influential empirical research involving early primary-school students (aged 4-8), parents, and teachers in state-funded schools worldwide. Beyond synthesis, the study, including the background, main findings, and full technical details of the review, will be presented as oral presentation with visual figures and tables to facilitate discussion. By systematically reviewing studies across multiple databases, this work could reveal the underlying influential mechanisms to empower home-school connections and foster real self-regulated learners in the lifelong learning age.
