Cognitive Benefits of Family Involvement: Quantitative Strategies for Enhancing Learning in Special Education

Abstract

This study investigates the cognitive benefits of family involvement in special education settings through the use of a quantitative approach. Research was undertaken, encompassing a cohort of 300 pupils who have impairments, as well as their respective families. The data was gathered utilizing established metrics to evaluate both family engagement and the cognitive achievements of the pupils. The data was analysed using a range of statistical approaches, such as descriptive statistics, t-tests, regression analysis, correlation analysis, ANOVA, and ANCOVA. The results demonstrate significant associations between family involvement and students' cognitive performance, including their ability to understand and use language, solve problems, remember information, absorb information quickly, and adjust to new situations. Furthermore, the correlation between family engagement and cognitive results was largely impacted by socio-emotional performance. The findings underscore the importance of fostering collaborative partnerships between families and educators to enhance the academic performance of kids in special education settings.
