- W95607570 abstract "Abstract This article examines the underutilization of parent involvement practices in the public schools. Parental involvement in public schools has been documented as academically beneficial by educational researchers, supported politically, and valued by many educators and individuals in the general public. Despite such support, involvement practices often reach a narrow audience of parent populations and are generally restricted to a few types of parent participation. More systematic and meaningful parent participation is hindered by many obstacles: parents who lack the desire and confidence to become involved, educators who lack the desire to encourage parent involvement, teachers' preconceptions surrounding parental culpability, home-school scheduling conflicts, conflicting beliefs about the ways parents should be involved, vagueness surrounding the changing role of parent involvement during students' adolescent years, and lack of teacher preparation and administrative support. Discussion is framed within a need to address these obstacles in teacher education. Keywords: parent involvement, rates, underutilization, obstacles, challenges, teacher education Introduction Parental involvement in public schools has been documented as academically beneficial by educational researchers, supported politically, and valued by many educators and individuals in the general public. Despite such overwhelming support for the value of parent involvement, current research consistently documents that parent involvement is underutilized at all levels, while parental participation at high school levels is particularly low. Parent involvement activities often reach a narrow audience of parent populations and are generally restricted to a few types of parent involvement. This article reviews support for parent involvement practices, documents how underutilized parent involvement is in the public school system, and examines some of the barriers accounting for the underutilization of such a beneficial teaching practice. A discussion of these obstacles is particularly important relative to preservice teacher education and in-service staff development. If teachers are engaged in discussions of how these obstacles are hindering parent involvement, more conscious efforts to overcome them can be undertaken. Support for Parent Involvement Praise of parent involvement in the schools has been sung far and wide. For instance, Greenwood and Hickman (1991) cite numerous studies, primarily focusing on elementary school years, that found relationships between parent involvement and such student variables as: academic achievement, student sense of well-being, student attendance, student attitude, homework readiness, grades, and educational aspirations. However, the benefits for parent involvement are not exclusive to the elementary school context. Researchers conclude, across a range of studies, there has emerged a strong conclusion that parental involvement in child and adolescent education generally benefits children's learning and school (Hoover-Dempsey & Sandler, 1997). Studies on programs in early childhood, elementary, middle, and high schools indicate that efforts to improve student outcomes are more effective when the family is actively involved (Henderson & Berla, 1994). Parent involvement is an important factor in a student's educational success all the way to the high school level (Eccles & Harold, 1993; Hart, 1988; Henderson, 1987). Parental involvement has been positively related to high school students' academic achievement (Paulson, 1994; Steinberg, Lamborn, Dornbusch, & Darling, 1992; Trusty 1996), time spent on homework (Keith, Reimers, Fehrmann, Pottebaum, & Aubey, 1986; Trusty, 1996), favorable attitudes toward school (Trusty, 1996), less likelihood of high school dropout (Rubmerger, Ghatak, Poulos, Ritter, & Dornbusch, 1990), and academic motivation (Gonzalez, Doan Holbein, & Quilter, 2001; Steinberg et al. …" @default.
