The Effect of Parental Participation on The Success of Primary School Students: A Study on Teachers’ Opinions

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine in depth the effect of parental involvement on student success from the perspective of teachers. It is thought that families have an important role in their children's education and that parental involvement positively affects students' success. It is of great importance that parents are aware of their responsibilities regarding their children's education, cooperate with the school and support their children. Parental participation is effective in many areas such as children's socialization processes, discipline, academic success and adaptation to school life. Parental participation in the education process can be defined as parents contributing to the development and education of their children attending educational institutions. In particular, it has existed as both a complementary and supportive factor to school learning in order to achieve students' academic success. Taking part in every step of the school-family cooperation process and participating in school activities will not only enable the school to achieve its goals but also bring about positive changes in student behavior. It is not possible to achieve the desired success in school students alone. The knowledge and skills given at school need to be stored and reinforced by their families. This research aimed to examine the distribution of parental input over student capacity in the growth of primary schools in Osmaniye. The study touched upon topics such as interviews with parents, the different dimensions of their parents, their changes, the changes of these changes, and the issues that prevent parents from separating. Research results show that parental components have a positive impact on academic achievement. However, it seems that some families do not attach enough importance to education. This study highlights the development of parent education and constitutes an important data source for educators and policy implementation.
