The partnership model was implemented by optimizing parental involvement in learning and involving parents in evaluating learning outcomes.

Parental Involvement in Senior Pupils’ Learning in the Context of the Implementation of China’s Double Reduction Policy

Parental involvement in learning, entertainment, emotion, and daily care is crucial to the growth and development of children. Due to the increasing significance of educational attainment in China, parental involvement in child learning is receiving ever-increasing weight and is now the most prevalent of the four aspects. In the wake of the implementation of the Double Reduction Policy, family education has encountered new obstacles, resulting in a shift in parental involvement in education. In the framework of policy execution, the learning involvement of parents of senior students merits special consideration, as they are burdened with the upcoming enrollment in secondary school. The objective of this essay is to describe the current state of parental involvement in learning under the new policy and investigate the causes of existing problems. Also presented are suggestions for enhancing the effectiveness of parental involvement in child study.

Pembelajaran Online Anak Usia Dini Menggunakan Grup WhatsApp di Masa Covid-19

The purpose of this study was to describe how online learning utilizing WhatsApp (WA) groups for early childhood (ECE) was planned, implemented, and assessed during the COVID-19 period. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. The data gathering took place in an Islamic kindergarten in Tangerang, Banten, between January and April 2021. The researchers conducted interviews with three teachers and observed group B's learning activities with seventeen students. The data were examined thematically using Saldaña's two-cycle codification model. The data demonstrates that: 1) teachers planned and communicatde activity plans weekly to parents via the WA group; 2) learning occured synchronously via video calls in the WA group for 30 minutes/day/study group from Monday to Thursday using teaching methods such as demonstrations, storytelling, experiments, assignments, and questions and answers; and 3) learning also occured asynchronously via teachers sending learning videos to children to study at home with their parents. 4) Daily and weekly checklist assessments, work appraisals, and anecdotes were used to assess learning.; 5) Children took an active role in their learning, and teachers assessed their performance to be good.; and 6) parental involvement in learning is critical to learning success. Early childhood online learning via WA groups continues to be a popular alternative due to its relative ease, affordability, and practicality.Keyword: Early childhood education (ECE), distance learning, digital technology, kindergarten

Parental contributions and assessment for learning as a component of mathematics homework

ABSTRACT Assessment for Learning (AfL) has long been identified as effective in supporting teachers to modify their teaching and learning with the aim of improving attainment but AfL practices are rarely applied to mathematics homework. Parental involvement in learning is also a key ingredient to success. This paper explores the benefits of using AfL strategies within mathematics homework that harnessed the involvement of parents. Nine English primary schools piloted the use of mathematics homework projects that were based in the lived experiences of parents and children. A designated classroom changeover session was introduced to provide an opportunity for children, teachers and parents to practice AfL strategies within the context of mathematics homework. Findings suggest that changing the nature of the homework provided more opportunities for discussion in the home which resulted in higher quality engagement. Parents commented that there was reduced tension over homework as they were able to use their own calculation methods and children were more willing to see them as experts with this type of activity. Children more readily accepted feedback from parents and peers on how to improve their approaches.

Implementation of Parental Involvement in Learning Civic Education

Parental involvement in learning civic education is the key to success in learning civic education. Therefore, civic education teachers have a great interest in involving parents in achieving the goals of learning civic education in their class. This study attempts to provide an alternative means of implementing parental involvement in civic education learning. This study aims to classify the roles that can be played by schools, civic education teachers and also parents. From the review of articles on parental involvement theory and models, it can be classified the roles of schools, teachers and parents applicatively.

İlköğretim Matematik Eğitiminde Velinin Ev Ödevine Katılımı Tartışması

Homework is a natural connection path for encouraging parental involvement in learning. Also, parental involvement in math homework is one of the topics discussed in the international literature. In this study, firstly, parental involvement in homework was examined based on literature. In addition, theoretical framework for parental involvement in homework was mentioned. Later on, related to parental involvement in math homework, the studies in the world and Turkey were discussed. As a result of this review, the results were presented and supported by the researcher's suggestions. The aim of this study was to examine the parental involvement in math homework, which is frequently emphasized in mathematics education, based on literature and to provide a critical perspective in recent years. Thus, in the context of this study, in Turkey, it can shed light on parental involvement in math homework studies, which will be constructed in a field-specific structure in mathematics education. In the relevant literature, it seen that parental involvement in homework is a multi-dimensional structure. Most of the studies on parental involvement in homework are based on self-determination theory. According to this theory, there are two different types of parental involvement: Parental control and parental support. Studies report mixed results with regards to the effects of parental involvement in homework on children’s educational outcomes. In Turkey, studies on parental involvement in math homework have been reported to be very limited. It is recommended to investigate the structure of the parental involvement in math homework, and to focus on which type of involvement will produce better results for the students.

Mathematics problem-solving homework as a conduit for parental involvement in learning. Evaluation of a pilot study

ABSTRACT Nine English primary schools piloted homework tasks that utilised mathematical problems set in “everyday” contexts to generate specific forms of parental involvement in children’s learning and, as a result, make mathematics homework enjoyable. Homework is pedagogically and socioculturally significant because of the effect it has on parents and children. If homework tasks are situated in everyday applications of mathematics and if teachers can convince parents that they can help regardless of their own perceived degree of mathematical competence, parent–child interaction is more likely. If teachers find time in their week to discuss homework children will recognise that their efforts are valued at home and in school. The child is then more likely to recognise the usefulness of mathematics as a life skill and the value of feedback. Doing more interesting homework may foster children’s mathematics talk, and increase self-efficacy and completion rates. Homework packs were sent home every week over a period of 20 weeks and four sets of data were collected: parent feedback sheets, pupil enjoyment questionnaires, teacher interviews and focus groups. Parents were asked to use encouragement, reinforcement and modelling rather than instructional techniques. The high profile given to the homework in class helped to convince parents that their contributions had value. The use of everyday problems provided opportunities to apply knowledge and skills. This evaluation points to a homework model that is manageable and enjoyable.

Parental involvement in the learning of adolescents with and without ADHD

This study examined parental involvement in adolescents' learning of parents of 108 adolescents 13- to 18-years of age (54 mothers of adolescents with ADHD, 44 mothers of adolescents without ADHD; 42 fathers of adolescents with ADHD and 35 fathers of adolescents without ADHD). Compared to mothers and fathers of adolescents without ADHD, both mothers and fathers of adolescents with ADHD reported lower self-efficacy in their ability to help their teens on the Parent Involvement Project Questionnaire-Modified (PIPQ-M). On the Parental Support for Learning Scale (PSLS), mothers of adolescents with ADHD perceived themselves as being less supportive and having fewer aspirations regarding their adolescents' future, compared with mothers of adolescents without ADHD. There were no differences between parents of adolescents with and without ADHD in any other aspects of involvement beliefs, experiences, and behaviors according to parent and adolescent report. Implications for school psychology practice are discussed.

Understanding the direct involvement of parents in policy development and school activities in a primary school

AbstractIt is acknowledged that parental engagement with children’s learning and education is of vital importance. But, there is a tendency to confuse engagement with learning with engagement with the school. While all types of parents’ involvement can have a positive effect, it is actually what parents do with their child at home that has the greatest impact. However, unless parental involvement in learning is embedded in whole-school processes it is unlikely to as effective as possible. This paper documents an action research study that explores the inclusion of parents and home values in the construction of the teaching and learning environment. This was a small step towards positive parent-teacher collaboration, which allowed an exchange of knowledge, values and cultural background experiences. In acknowledging the ways in which the parents already engaged with their children’s learning, it began to enhance self-efficacy in their ability to directly affect this learning. This work has also provoked reflexive engagement of my influence and understanding of involving parents of children with additional and diverse learning needs. But, it also details the transformative journey that influenced my thinking about how we as a school could begin to develop whole-school processes to directly involve parents in policy development and school activities.

Individual-level predictors of young children’s aspirations

Often young children already have some ideas about what they want to do in the future. Using data from a large UK cohort study, we investigated the individual determinants of seven-year-old children’s aspirations, controlling for parental socio-economic background and parental involvement in learning. At age 7, not all children’s aspirations were unrealistic (55.6% of children aspired to common occupations), few (1.2%) were fantasy, but most were gender-typical. White children had lower occupational aspirations and were more likely to have uncertain future orientations than other ethnic groups. The antecedents of fantasy aspirations, more typical of younger children, were difficult temperament and low school engagement. Uncertain aspirations were related to higher cognitive ability but also to lower school engagement. Higher occupational aspirations were directly related to higher family socio-economic status, and higher occupational and more intrinsic aspirations were associated with more school engagement (in turn, higher in girls and ethnic minority children). Boys, compared to girls, had lower, more extrinsic and more masculine aspirations, but were also more likely than girls to aspire to rare jobs and have fantasy or uncertain aspirations.

The role of aspirations in young children's emotional and behavioural problems

Using data from a large UK cohort (n = 11,656), we investigated the determinants of 7‐year‐old children's aspirations, and the role of these aspirations in emotional and behavioural problems, as reported by both parents and teachers. Aspirations were classified to reflect their occupational status, masculinity/femininity and intrinsic/extrinsic motivation. Children's aspirations had significant antecedents in social disadvantage, parental involvement in learning, parental values and cognitive ability. Children with low occupational aspirations had more emotional problems as reported by both parents and teachers, and more teacher‐reported peer problems. In the teacher report, masculine aspirations were also related to hyperactivity. Gender differences in the association between aspirations and emotional and behavioural problems were few and weak. Intrinsic aspirations were related to peer problems, especially in boys. The inverse relation between feminine aspirations and hyperactivity and peer problems was relatively stronger in girls, as was the association between low aspirations and emotional problems.

Characteristics of a School, Community and Family Partnership to Increase Parental Involvement in Learning at Rural Multigrade Schools

Parental involvement in learning through a school, community and family (SCAF) partnership programme is needed at rural multigrade schools in order to ultimately improve academic achievement. The internal and external challenges these schools and their parents face daily, however, are currently detrimental to parental involvement in learning. Lack of support, and inability of schools to design their own SCAF partnership programme, further hinder parental involvement in learning. This study aims to determine the product characteristics of a SCAF partnership programme that will support rural multigrade schools to develop their own practicable, contextual and effective strategies to improve parental involvement in learning. Although the process characteristics of such a programme are equally important, they are beyond the scope of this article. This study used a qualitative methodology through design-based research. Although the study comprised two phases, this article focuses on Phase Two. Phase One is beyond the scope of the article. In Phase Two, the sample comprised 26 parents and eight teachers from two randomly sampled rural multigrade schools in the Western Cape, South Africa. Data was collected through focus group interviews, observations, reports and logs at these schools in the Cape Winelands education district in the Western Cape. The findings indicate the product characteristics as: promoting partnerships with parents that lead to involving parents in learning; creating formal and informal opportunities for communication regarding learning; and utilising community and parents as resources to enrich children’s learning. This study further indicates that parents and teachers need to focus on these characteristics and existing challenges in the multigrade milieu, when developing a SCAF partnership programme during a workshop. This will then lead to the development of practicable, contextual and effective strategies for that specific school. DOI: 10.5901/mjss.2014.v5n23p1225

Emotional and behavioural resilience to multiple risk exposure in early life: the role of parenting

Ecological and transactional theories link child outcomes to neighbourhood disadvantage, family poverty and adverse life events. Traditionally, these three types of risk factors have been examined independently of one another or combined into one cumulative risk index. The first approach results in poor prediction of child outcomes, and the second is not well rooted in ecological theory as it does not consider that distal risk factors (such as poverty) may indirectly impact children through proximal risk factors (such as adverse life events). In this study, we modelled simultaneously the longitudinal effects of these three risk factors on children's internalising and externalising problems, exploring the role of parenting in moderating these effects. Our sample followed 16,916 children (at ages 3, 5 and 7 years; N = 16,916; 49% girls) from the UK Millennium Cohort Study. Parenting was characterised by quality of parent-child relationship, parental involvement in learning and parental discipline. Neighbourhood disadvantage, family poverty and adverse events were all simultaneously related to the trajectories of both outcomes. As expected, parenting moderated risk effects. Positive parent-child relationship, rather than greater involvement or authoritative discipline, most consistently 'buffered' risk effects. These findings suggest that a good parent-child relationship may promote young children's emotional and behavioural resilience to different types of environmental risk.

New Zealand students' perceptions of parental involvement in learning and schooling

This study investigated the relation between multidimensional aspects of high school students' perceptions of their parental involvement and their achievement. It explored differences in socio-economic backgrounds, ethnicity, gender, and higher and lower achieving students, and a structural model was developed to further investigate these relations. A parental involvement questionnaire and measures of efficacy, liking and achievement in mathematics and reading were administered to a sample of 1,554 New Zealand high school students from 59 schools. In the view of students, there is support for parents to be talking to their children about learning and schooling and having high expectations of them and their future in learning, especially for lower achieving students. Students who claim that their parents are talking with their teachers or attending school meetings are more likely to have lower achievement. The implications from this study relate to developing student self-regulation for learning in home, providing more surface than deeper learning as homework, and assisting parents to learn the language of learning and schooling.

Measuring Children’s Perceptions of Parental Involvement in Conjoint Behavioral Consultation

Practitioners of Conjoint Behavioral Consultation rely on several sources of information to assist in planning and evaluation of consultation efforts. Parental involvement in the home is an important aspect in Conjoint Behavioral Consultation, yet there are few questionnaires available to practitioners to assess this important construct, particularly those that target children’s self-report. This study examined the factor structure and reliability of a new questionnaire to measure children’s perceptions of their parental involvement in learning. The Parental Support for Learning Scale: Child Form (PSLS) was administered to a sample of 231 children (aged 10–13 years). Exploratory factor analysis supported a four-factor structure representing parental involvement behaviors and emotional tone: (a) Parental Management of the Learning Environment, (b) Parental Participation With Homework, (c) Controlling Parental Involvement, and (d) Supportive Parental Involvement. Analysis showed satisfactory reliability coefficients. The four factors are discussed in relation to the relevant literature and Conjoint Behavioral Consultation, and future directions for further validation of the PSLS are discussed.
