Third, Motivational Beliefs have positive corelation to Parent's School-Based Involvement. Fourth, Parents Role Construction and Parental Self Efficacy partially have positive corelation to Parent's Home-Based Involvement. Fifth, Parents Role Construction and Parental Self Efficacy partially have positive corelation to Parent's School-Based Involvement.Parents of kindergarten children in Al-Azhar Kindergarten Yogyakarta used as respondent in this study.
