, 1. Mention five (5) typical barriers that impact parents’ involvement in the
affairs of learners at you school and explain how your school went about
addressing them. Did your school succeed in improving parental
involvement? (10)
A primary factor in children’s educational successes is parent interest and support
(Berger, 1995), and studies of parent involvement have shown measurable gains in
academic achievement as parents become more engaged.
Engaged parents have greater educational aspirations for their children; improved
communication with their child and more positive attitudes toward their child’s teacher.
They often feel more confident about their abilities to help their children, gain a better
understanding of both formal and informal rules of the school, and develop an
appreciation and a greater knowledge about the importance of their role in their child’s
education.
According to both research and experience, the following five major barriers hinder
parent involvement. Addressing these barriers and developing concrete solutions
can help schools increase parent involvement.
a. Barrier One - Time Conflicts or Making Time:
Sentiments about how time affects involvement were expressed in two ways: conflicts with
other events, and conflicts with parents’ work schedules. The way in which time and
timeliness impacts parent participation was discussed; one parent stated the greatest
barrier to
involvement was ‘Just Time’.
Other parents spoke of the fact that all families have their own schedules, and
these often conflict with the time or day of events.
Parents also noted conflicts between the times meetings are scheduled and
their work schedules.
How the barrier was addressed:
The day of the week, the start time, and providing food were all discussed as
methods that could remedy time constraints.
