Parent involvement in adolescents’ education: A case study of partnership models

Abstract

Parent involvement has become very important in successful children’s education. The activities showing parent involvement can not be separated from lifelong education. Therefore, the focus of this research is was on non-formal and informal education in achieving one of the sustainable development goals. Then, this study described parent involvement activities in senior high schools as a model of partnership. This research was qualitative in nature, employing a case study method. The results of this study concerning parent involvement in the education of their teenage children could be seen from the forms of parental support they gave in their children’s activities either at school or at home. It is shown that in terms of parent involvement at school, parents from the upper – middle social-economic status gave more participation in the forms of funds and energy. From both activities, the researchers classified involvement patterns into three, namely habituation, academic involvement, and self-concept.

Parental involvement in Kosovar education: Relationships with gender, education and employment variables

“…The results in this study corroborate previous research findings where the percentage of mothers is much higher than that of fathers, suggesting that mothers take the responsibility for school involvement more than fathers (Hill & Taylor, 2004;Williams, 1998), and parent working hours do not affect their involvement (Fleischmann & de Haas, 2016;Sujarwo et al, 2021). Although parental involvement over years has been redefined due to social changes in different countries where the number of fathers who participate in schoolwork has increased (Arthur et al, 2006;Williams, 1998), this study failed to confirm that.…”

“…Some of the best ways that show how parents can help are monitoring and helping with homework (McNeal, 2014), as well as discussions where parents instil the 'habits of a positive attitude to knowledge, good communication skills and positive behaviours towards others' (Arthur et al, 2006, p. 383). This form of behavioural pattern of education used by parents is in positive correlation with students' academic achievement and also conforms to what schools expect from parents (Lee & Bowen, 2006;Sujarwo et al, 2021).…”

Thematic learning during the pandemic: CIPP evaluation study

“…Therefore, conflicts between children and parents often occur in this learning process (Toney et al, 2003). This is difficult to avoid because the role of parents in their children's education is very much needed (Sujarwo et al, 2021). In terms of learning products, online learning can have advantages related to learning efficiency (Bientzle et al, 2019;Meinert et al, 2019).…”

Digital literacy model to empower women using community-based education approach

“…Developing human potential, as well as socialisation, values and skills, must be carried out through educational activities. The implementation of educational practices is directed at the efforts to uphold humanistic values into a solution to this global phenomenon (Sujarwo et al, 2021). Purnomo and Solikhah (2021) said that community-based education focuses on community empowerment.…”
