The Impact Of Parent Class On Parent Engagement In Children's Education

Abstract

Information about parents in education of children is very important because parents are the primary and first educators, so they must complete themselves. Parent class is a means to build awareness of parents / guardians to be involved in education of children, including the development of a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable learning environment. Parents class is conducted at least twice as much as those coordinated by the association of parents and is guided by the teacher or the school. Researchers have proven a great deal about parental classrooms towards increasing parental knowledge in parenting. Parents who always increase their knowledge about how to educate children will have better knowledge in education of children. Parents in education of children will also improve achievement of children and character. However, parents who do not care and are not involved in education of children will have a negative impact on achievement of children. In general, the results of this study prove the existence of a parent class program to parents in school children at home, in the community and at school. From the results of the analysis of the effectiveness of the parent class using the paired sample t test, information was obtained that all parental support variables had a significant change in value (2 tailed) at 0.001 (below 0.05), meaning that the independent variable was significant after the parent class was carried out.
