The study was undertaken on 260 students of sixth class selected randomly from CBSE affiliated schools of Chandigarh to investigate their performance of mathematical skills at three categories of Bloom's taxonomy of objectives. 260 parents of these children were taken and parental involvement scale was administered on them. Achievement tests were prepared and validated by researchers specifically for remembering, understanding and higher order learning categories of Blooms Taxonomy. The findings revealed that;
The mean achievement scores on mathematical skills of grade VI were different for students belonging to parents having high average and low involvement.
High Parental Involvement group achieved higher mathematical skills than low Parental Involvement group.
High Parental Involvement group achieved higher than average Parental Involvement group.
Average Parental Involvement group were higher than that of low Parental Involvement group.
The mean achievement scores on mathematical skills of VI graders were different at three categories of Bloom's Taxonomy of objectives.
Higher at Remembering category than at Understanding category.
Higher at Remembering category than at Higher Order category.
Higher at Understanding category than at Higher Order category.
The two variables Parental Involvement and Bloom's Taxonomic categories did not interact to yield differences in mathematical skills of grade VI students.
Parental involvement, Blooms taxonomy, mathematical skills
