Mohsin Ali Hasrat, Shumaila Tariq, Muhammad Saeed

Abstract


The objective of the study was to explore primary school teachers’ (PSTs) perceptions regarding the importance, degree and limitations of parents’ involvement. A sample of 400 PSTs was drawn from two tehsils of district Kasur through convenience sampling. A questionnaire was developed on five point Likert scale which was validated from four experts and piloted on 25 primary school teachers. The reliability of the instrument was 0.87. The response rate was 75%. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA. The results showed that all PSTs were agreed upon the importance of parents’ involvement in teaching learning process. They often involve parents to play their role in school council. However, the parents are least invited in sports events. Male and female respondents were significantly different in their views regarding importance and limitation of parents’ involvement. There was no significant difference in their perceptions related to degree of parents’ involvement and limitations in parents’ involvement on the basis of tehsil and qualification. The study recommended that school must create more opportunities for parents’ involvement. The government must conduct seminars to highlight the role of parents’ involvement in schools.
