“…In recent study, students' rating of communication as valuable in parental involvement meets previous research findings. Studies prove that good communication between schools and parents lets them be more supportive and even welcome suggestions from the teacher to improve their child's situation and attitude [51]. A study by Bruïne et al [52] suggested communication had been the attention of pre-service teacher preparation in parental involvement, although it was not placed a separated course but integrated into the others.…”

<span lang="EN-US">This study concerned with elementary teacher education students not prepared to have competency in parental involvement in education. The research aimed to explore their perceptions of the importance of parental involvement in elementary education. A 30-item online survey questionnaire, which employed a series of Likert-style statements in five types of parent involvement, was utilized to measure their perceptions. The study involved 1,459 undergraduate students majoring in elementary teacher education as participants, representing 72 study programs of universities and college schools in Indonesia. Descriptive and mean score comparison analyses were employed to make the obtained data meaningful. The finding revealed that the students rated parental involvement as an urgent aspect of elementary school education. The study discovered no significant difference between male and female students, significant differences among sophomore, junior, and senior students, and significant differences among students of public and private higher education institutions. The findings indicated that all respondents agreed on the importance of involvement and revealed implications for the elementary education study program.</span>

“…This disconnect of academics vs. emotions may cause an impediment in communication amongst parents and teachers because of the differing focus. Going further, Reilly (2008) claims that parent and teacher involvement can be divided into two separate categories: parent involvement in the home and parent involvement in the school. Schools have always functioned with some form of collaboration and communication, but given societal changes as well as educational reform movements, changes exist in the relationship between parents and teachers, further segregating the home and school climates (Hill & Taylor, 2004).…”

Failure to communicate : teachers talk to parents

This study was designed to investigate the perceptions and experiences of rural middle school teachers' communication efforts with parents. Research indicates that positive communication between parents and teachers is essential to students' success during adolescence; however, parent to school communication declines as students' transition from elementary to middle school resulting in negative effects on academic achievement, decreased motivation, and lowered self-esteem. Much of the research previously conducted derives from the effects of communication breakdowns, whereas the purpose of this research is to explore the impediments causing the interruption, or absence of communication practices between teachers and parents.Although there is an abundance of educational research focused on urban schools, there is little research on teacher and parent communication in a rural setting. Rural educators face a unique set of challenges as opposed to their urban counterparts. The primary significance of this study is that it provides an authentic, meaningful, and candid perspective to view the realities of the teacher-parent relationship, which can be transferred to other rural educators and families of the students being educated within the small town context. Communication, rural, adolescents, middle school, small Keywords: ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSTo pinpoint where this journey began is not possible. To thank every person who has impacted my ability to complete this task is insurmountable. In this moment of completion, and while exhaling, I'd like to quietly remember my grandparents-the people who planted seeds.Tapadh leat. I'd especially like to remember Nana, because you made so much of this initial journey possible all those years ago when college seemed like an impossible feat.To my "work goats" who provided almost daily reassurance that I would accomplish this.I'm done. We can hang out now. And to Catherine, my peer and ally, thanks for always being an e-mail away.To my Mom & my Michael. Two summers of "Camp Nana-Pasquaney" which allowed me to participate in residency with no worry about my children's safety and happiness.To my forever husband who never complained when frozen pizza was on the dinner menu, again. Thank you for allowing me to make an office in our bedroom, and for reminding me who I am. When I questioned my ability to climb this mountain, you simply reminded me that I was already doing it. Our partnership is the foundation that allows me to dream and for that I am eternally grateful. The issues surrounding parent and teacher communications are as important as they are complex (Wilson et al., 2001). Specifically, myriad reasons exist for the decline in communication conventions at the middle school level. Some research suggests it is the parents who begin to retreat due to the number of teachers now involved in their child's education, as well as a fear in lacking an adequate knowledge base in the core subject areas (Wilson et al. 2001; Hill & Tyson, 2009). Other researchers claim that the def...
