Book Synopsis Parent Perceptions of Parental Involvement in a Mid-South Suburban School District by : Willie Carnell Williams
Download or read book Parent Perceptions of Parental Involvement in a Mid-South Suburban School District written by Willie Carnell Williams and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the perceptions of parents on their role in involvement in their children's education and determined if there was a difference in parents' perception of parental engagement based on ethnicity. The data used in this study was taken in 2013 from a sample of parents of elementary (K - 5) and secondary (6 - 12) students in a mid-south suburban school district that consist of rural, urban and suburban schools. The following questions were researched in the dissertation: 1) What role does a parent's perception of child rearing values, goals, and expectations have when considering academic norms at school?; 2) What role does parent's reported actions and behaviors have in a child's day-to-day education?; 3) What role does parent's reported actions and behaviors related to major educational decisions have in the child's education?; and 4) Is there a significant difference in parents' perception of parental engagement based on ethnicity on the 33 individual items and across the four constructs? The responses to survey questions provided the answers for the research questions. Size of measurement and exploration of relationships through descriptive research, correlation research and group comparisons are emphasized in a quantitative viewpoint. Findings in this study are consistent with the argument that many parents are involved effectively in their children's education despite the consequences of cultural backgrounds and family circumstances. There is not a statistically significant difference found in parents' perception of parental involvement based on ethnicity on the 33 individual items and across the four constructs in the majority of the respondents. Considerable effort must be made to involve parents in their children's schooling, however; to best achieve this task, practitioners must explore parents' current understanding of parental involvement, how parents view what actions they are to take in regards to involvement and what are the expectations and perceived indicators of success of desired outcomes for that involvement. Further, practitioners should make the effort to understand the parents that they serve and convey to them that their opinions or suggestions are desired and important. To achieve such a phenomenon, parents must feel welcomed and valued as equal participants in their child's education.

Book Synopsis Parents' Perceptions of Parent Engagement by : chantara R. Carter
Download or read book Parents' Perceptions of Parent Engagement written by chantara R. Carter and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-11 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this mixed-methods case study using a survey method with closed- and open-ended response items was to examine parents' perceptions of parental involvement practices based on Epstein's (1993) Framework of Six Types of Involvement. This study examined a district-wide parent involvement program to determine its conformance to research findings on effective family engagement strategies and practices, and to assess changes in parent involvement in schools. The participants of this study were parents whose children were in kindergarten through twelfth grade school. The evidence from the closed-ended responses supported that Epstein's Framework of Six Types of Involvement practices were key factors to parental involvement. Furthermore, the open-ended responses regarding parents' perceptions of parental involvement provided evidence of effective program practices. The results from this study can possibly inform parental involvement coordinators, district and school leaders in similar districts on whether parents perceived Epstein's Framework of Six Types of Involvement as an effective tool for parental engagement.
Book Synopsis Parent Perceptions of School-based Parent Involvement and the Operational Transmission of Culture by : Patrick Simon
Download or read book Parent Perceptions of School-based Parent Involvement and the Operational Transmission of Culture written by Patrick Simon and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past fifty years of school reform, American education now includes parental involvement as an important factor contributing to children’s academic success. Furthermore, government funding is now tied to parent involvement, in an effort to increase the role of parents in school buildings. The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions and experiences of parents participating in school-based parent involvement initiatives. Particularly, the study focused on investigating how parent involvement supported the exchange of cultural capital where parents could embody capital and relay said capital to their children. The study allowed for the voices of the parents that are engaged to be heard. The theoretical framework was in the was Bourdieu’s theory of cultural capital. The theory is based on the notion that what one knows or invests time to learn or understand, and has value within the institutional setting becomes something that the person can use to navigate through said institutions. This is a bounded case study that explored parent involvement and their perceptions of their experiences in parent involvement activities in the private school setting. The research site was a private K-8 building in a metropolitan area of the United States. The participants were parents of diverse age groups and backgrounds. The overall findings of the study point to one particular type of parent involvement activity as being significant and the most visible in terms of its operational effect. Parent involvement classes were the location where the exchange of cultural capital was most visible – where parents were viewed as equals. Additionally, parental voice – where trust had been established and meaningful relationships had been forged, was most dynamic within the school’s parenting classes, and the vehicle by which culture was exchanged.

Book Synopsis Parenting Matters by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Parenting Matters written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
Book Synopsis A Survey of Parent Perceptions of Their Involvement in School by : Andrea L. Denger
Download or read book A Survey of Parent Perceptions of Their Involvement in School written by Andrea L. Denger and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Education legislation has been enacted in the past 20 years to address the problem of low academic achievement and gaps in achievement between groups of students in schools today. One mandate of the legislation is for schools to implement and maintain strategies to increase parental involvement. Studies have proven that parental involvement often leads to increased academic achievement, lower absenteeism, and less behavioral issues. Ringenberg et al. (2005) created the Parents and Schools Survey (PASS) around the constructs of Epstein's (1992) preceptions of their involvement in those constructs at one elementary school in a Midwest school district. Findings included statistically significant differences in parents' perceptions in the areas of Decision-Making and Learning at Home. Barriers to involvement were also examined. -Abstract.
Book Synopsis Families and Schools in a Pluralistic Society by : Nancy Feyl Chavkin
Download or read book Families and Schools in a Pluralistic Society written by Nancy Feyl Chavkin and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1993-02-02 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research identifies increased parent involvement in education as a promising method to bolster student achievement. Statistics show that while many traditional white, middle class families have found ways to be involved with their children's schooling, our nation now needs to find ways to include more minority parents in their children's education. Most educators and parents would agree that minority parent involvement in education is essential; the mechanics of developing sensitive, realistic, and workable home-school relationships are more elusive. It requires a concerted effort by all involved to understand more about the complex parent-school relationship and to develop specific plans to help families. This comprehensive volume features substantial material from the nation's most renowned research projects on parent involvement—Stanford University's Center for the Study of Families, Children and Youth, the Johns Hopkins University's Center for Research on Elementary and Middle Schools, the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory, and the National Catholic Education Association. In addition to a section on research, the book includes a section on practice that presents research-tested strategies on working with minority parents (Asian, American Indian, Hispanic, African American, and other minority groups). The book concludes with a section on future challenges that educators must confront and appendices on promising national programs and helpful resource materials.

Download or read book Parent Involvement: Perceptions of Parents and Teachers written by Gloria M. Hernandez and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parent involvement in the public schools is recognized by researchers and by the great majority of public school educators as being essential to the success of students, academically and socially. It is also a legal requirement for Title 1 schools. Numerous studies have examined the effects of parent involvement with various ethnic groups, especially with African American and Hispanic groups. This study looks at the effects of a series of twelve parental involvement workshops of three hours each, presented in English, Hmong, Spanish, and Russian languages on the perceptions of parents. These parents were from four ethnic groups: African American, Hispanic, Hmong and Russian-Ukrainian. Through a pre-post survey design, this study examines the perceptions of parents on school to home communication, parental involvement in their children's academic work, and the parents' ability to help their children academically. Also examined are teachers' perceptions of various dimensions of parental involvement using a survey with dimensions which are complementary to those on the parent survey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parental involvement has a tremendous impact on how students perceive school and perform academically. At the SUS which is located in rural Alabama, there is a lack of parental involvement amongst the fourth grade parents. This study was undertaken in order to determine the perceptions of the parents regarding the SUS. The elementary school where the study was conducted will use the research data to help make decisions regarding programs and activities that parents see need improvement. The researcher conducted this study to obtain information relative to the opinion of parents who were actively involved and if they perceived their involvement making a significant difference, in such areas as behavior, attitude towards work and study habits. An Advanced Excellence in Education Worldwide Parent Opinion Inventory was the instrument utilized in the student. Parents in this study responded that they felt welcome at the school under study. They also responded that school rules were clearly communicated to parents, and the school under study provided sufficient opportunities for parental involvement.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: This sequential mix methods case study used a critical perspective to explore parents' perceptions of their parental involvement and the relationship to student achievement in a Title I elementary school. The survey based on the work of Epstein and Salinas (1993) was used to gather data from parents of students who attended first, second, and third grade in the 2009-2010 school year in an inner city elementary school. Results from the Criterion Reference Competency Test (CRCT) were used to measure achievement and free or reduced lunch was used as a measure of economically disadvantaged. Findings emerged from this study explored parents' perceptions towards three of Epstein's Six Types of Parental Involvement, Communication, Volunteering and Decision-making. Secondly, parent's perceptions of their involvement when grouped by their children achievement level on the CRCT and parental practices were explored. The survey results revealed parents' highest perceptions of their involvement (45.2%) in the Communication dimension. Parent's lowest perception of their involvement (44.9%) represented the Decision-making dimension followed by Volunteering with 44.3%. The findings from the surveys revealed there was not a significant difference of perceptions of parents towards parental involvement based upon the dimensions. Secondly, there was not a significant difference between parent perceptions of their involvement in the three dimensions when grouped by student's CRCT achievement level. Lastly, there was not a significant difference in parental practices in the dimensions Communication and Decision-making. However, there was a significant difference in parental practices in the dimension Volunteering for parent's of students in "meets/exceeds" versus parent's of students in "does not meet" state standards. The survey and interviews revealed the need for more intensive efforts to increase parental involvement. This study fostered awareness among economically disadvantaged parents, administrators, teachers, and district personnel. Based on these findings, implications for practice and recommendations for future research were discussed.
Book Synopsis The Voices of Latino Parents by : Evangelina M. Cantu
Download or read book The Voices of Latino Parents written by Evangelina M. Cantu and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant evidence suggests that parent participation and involvement are beneficial for student success. Latino parents, however, have historically been portrayed negatively in their role in their children's education. Deficit thinking paradigms have framed much of the negative depictions about Latino parents. This study proposes that the negative portrayals of Latino parents may in part be a result of how parent involvement has been traditionally defined. Schools define parent involvement in ways that Latino parents may not conform to. As a result, schools label parents as non-involved. In an effort to demystify the myth that Latino parents do not value nor care for their children's education, this study set out to examine Latino parents' perceptions about parent involvement as well as how they involve themselves in their children's education. The findings suggest that Latino parents define and perceive parent involvement in ways that differ significantly from the way schools have defined it. Furthermore, parents' perceptions of their roles, the role of the school and the teachers point to a need to examine how these perceptions intersect with the perceptions of the school and the teachers. This study presents an alternative way to view parent involvement. It is concluded that the negative depiction of Latino parents is due in part to the fact that schools are expecting them to conform to practices and engage in activities that are not necessarily what they view as important in their children's education. Further research that provides a more inclusive definition and expands the discourse about Latino parent involvement is suggested.
Book Synopsis Parents' Perceptions of the Effectiveness of Academic Socialization and Parental Involvement Strategies by : Erica R. Hampton
Download or read book Parents' Perceptions of the Effectiveness of Academic Socialization and Parental Involvement Strategies written by Erica R. Hampton and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate middle school parents' perceptions of academic socialization as a parental involvement strategy and effective parent-child engagements during the middle school years. To investigate this, 138 sixth and eighth grade parents completed researcher constructed surveys and open-ended response questions. Ten parents were interviewed regarding their parental involvement practices. The findings of this study revealed that parents believed communicating the importance of education and academic expectations along with participating in school activities, communicating with school staff, monitoring school progress, checking homework, and talking daily with their child are activities that parents should engage in during the middle school years. The results of this study indicated that parents believed it is their responsibility to help their child succeed in school and that showing genuine interest in their child's accomplishments as well as modeling expected behaviors and learning skills is important. The majority of parents believed their involvement influenced their child's motivation to learn. The study concluded that parental involvement impacted adolescent learning and that academic socialization could positively influence parent involvement and student achievement. Communicating the value and use of education to their children, discussing learning styles and strategies, fostering the educational and occupational hopes and dreams, linking school learning to current events, and preparing and making plans for the future are the most important activities that can be done, by parents, during the middle school years.

Book Synopsis What about the Parents? by : Marilyn K. Jackson
Download or read book What about the Parents? written by Marilyn K. Jackson and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this phenomenological bounded case study was to understand parent perceptions regarding their involvement at the middle school level. This was significant to understanding why middle schools struggle with fostering parent involvement. Three focus groups comprised of sixteen parent participants from one middle school in Missouri were utilized. As parents discussed their views and experiences a deeper understanding of parent involvement emerged. The perceptions of parents were analyzed to understand how they perceive, define, and understand their role in terms of academic and social outcomes for their adolescent child's education. They considered parent participation as a partnership with the school requiring their involvement within three major constructs: learning in the home, parenting, and volunteering. However, the transition to middle school left them wondering how to support their child and knowing what role they should take in their education. This contributed to weakened parent self-efficacy and role construction. Difficulty navigating parent social networks emerged as a significant barrier to parent participation, suggesting it as another possible construct parents perceive as critical for parent participation. Findings suggest that parents have different perceptions about their role and efficacy for involvement. However, relationships with other parents may serve to lessen the disconnect between parents and middle schools, especially as students transition during the first year of middle school.
Book Synopsis Professional Staff and Parent Perceptions of Parental Involvement in the Fallsburg Central School District by :
Download or read book Professional Staff and Parent Perceptions of Parental Involvement in the Fallsburg Central School District written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research which measured parents' and professional staffs' perceptions of parental involvement according to Epstein's six typologies of involvement was conducted in the Fallsburg Central School District, Fallsburg, New York. Epstein's framework of six types of involvement included (a) parenting, (b) communicating, (c) volunteering, (d) learning at home, (e) decision making, and (f) collaborating with the community. The study was a secondary analysis of an existing database of responses to a district survey administered by the board of education. Sixty-six professional staff and 60 parents participated in the study. In addition to measuring professional staffs' and parents' perceptions, four parent focus group interviews were conducted with groups of 3 to 8 persons, with group interviews conducted separately for Hispanic parents, parents of elementary, junior high, and high school students. In all areas of the survey, there were significant differences noted between professional staff (teachers and administrators) and parents. Professional staff generally perceived their schools to be practicing the parental involvement activities within each Epstein typology more than did their counterparts, parents. Further analysis of demographics indicated that older professional staff and parents tended to rate the extent to which activities were practiced in schools higher than younger professional staff and parents. White parents rated parental involvement activities practiced in their children's schools as more frequent than Hispanic, Native American and other ethnic group respondents. Professional staff and parent respondents tended to rate the frequency of parental involvement activities more highly the longer they had lived in the district. Focus group discussion revealed that language was a major barrier for many Latino parents in their child's education. Logistical issues, such as transportation and scheduling of events, were obstacles cited by minority parents.
