Résumé
L’objectif de cette recherche est d’examiner l’effet médiateur joué par le sentiment de compétence parentale et par l’implication parentale dans la scolarité de l’enfant entre le niveau d’éducation de la mère et les performances scolaires de l’enfant. En adoptant une approche multi-dimensionnelle, un modèle en pistes causales mets en relation les différentes variables de l’étude. La recherche a porté sur 227 mères et leurs enfants scolarisés en CE1 ou CE2 (deuxième et troisième année de l’enseignement obligatoire) dans 6 écoles différentes. Les résultats confirment partiellement l’hypothèse principale de l’effet médiateur du sentiment de compétence parentale et de l’implication parentale dans la scolarité de l’enfant. En effet, des liens directs et indirects entre le niveau d’éducation de la mère et les performances scolaires de l’enfant ont été observés. Par ailleurs, l’absence liens entre certaines dimensions de l’implication parentale et les performances scolaires de l’enfant sont discutés.

Abstract
The main objective of the present research was to examine the mediating effects of parental self-efficacy and parental involvement in their child’s schooling on the relationship between a mother’s level of education and her child’s academic achievement. We adopted a multi-dimensional approach in order to specify a path analysis model including all the study variables. Our study population was 227 mothers and their children in years CE1 and CE2 (2nd and 3rd years of obligatory schooling) at six different schools in France. Results partly confirm the mediating effect of parenting self-efficacy and parental involvement in their child’s schooling, as we found direct and indirect links between a mother’s level of education and her child’s academic achievement. However, we failed to find links between certain dimensions of parental involvement and children’s academic achievement.
