Relationships Between Perceived Parenting Behaviors And Academic Achievement Among High School Students In International Baccalaureate (Ib) Programs: A Comparison Of Asian American And White Students, Wenjun Chen

It also investigated how personal, professional, or organizational factors such as values, beliefs, teacher training, or time constraints impact the …
