Abstract: Previous studies have shown that the relationship between Parental Educational Involvement and students' academic development is not a simple direct relationship, in which, the Parental Autonomy Support plays an important role, and various internal factors of students are also critical.By integrating these internal factors as a comprehensible indicator of the Self-regulation Learning Potential, and by including both reports from Parental Autonomy Support from both students and their parents, this research investigated nearly 130,000 primary and middle school students, resulted with a serial mediation model, in which the Parental Educational Involvement had direct effect on students’ academic development, but this effect was mainly mediated by Parental Autonomy Support and Self-regulation Learning. Exactly speaking, the effect of Parental Educational Involvement on students’ academic development functions via two paths: (1) by the mediation of parents-reported Parental Autonomy Support in predicting students’ achievement; (2) by the serial mediation of parents-reported and students-perceived Parental Autonomy Support and students-reported Self-regulation Learning Potential. This study suggests that parents, teachers and researchers should pay close attention to how to improve parents' awareness of their Autonomy Support perceived by their children and how to improve their ability to support their children’s Self-regulation Learning.

Key words: parental educational involvement, students’ achievement, serial mediation, parental autonomy support, self-regulation learning potential
