Parent Involvement in Schooling Processes: A Case Study in Aceh

The study focuses on exploring the parents’ understanding of their involvement in schooling processes based on the six typologies of Epstein. The categories of the study were based on the typologies of Epstein consisting of parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision-making, and collaboration with the community. Parent involvement in an Aceh school is a crucial issue which needs to be studied. This research provides an analysis of parents’ understanding of their involvement in schooling processes, what different kinds of ways parents/homes and school communicate between each other, and whose parents are frequently involved in schooling. There are several barriers parent involvement in schooling, such as work demands, reluctance to attend the school, lack of communication with the school, and parents’ perception of their involvement. The reason behind parent involvement in schooling processes can be explained with attribution theory. The findings indicated that parent involvement in schooling processes in Aceh is low. In addition, the motivation of parents to be involved in schooling processes was related to their own motives, such as merely to fulfill their obligation as a parent in rearing the children.[Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengeksplorasi pemahaman orang tua tentang keterlibatan mereka dalam proses pendidikan berdasarkan enam tipologi Epstein. Kategori penelitian ini berdasarkan tipologi Epstein terdiri dari pola asuh, komunikasi, relawan, pembelajaran di rumah, pengambilan keputusan, dan kolaborasi dengan masyarakat. Keterlibatan orang tua di Aceh merupakan isu penting yang perlu diperhatikan. Penelitian ini memberikan analisis tentang pemahaman orang tua tentang keterlibatan mereka dalam proses pendidikan, bagaimana cara orang tua dan sekolah berkomunikasi satu sama lain, dan apakah ayah atau ibu yang dominan terlibat dalam pendidikan anak mereka. Ada beberapa hambatan keterlibatan orang tua di sekolah, seperti tuntutan kerja, keengganan untuk bersekolah, kurang komunikasi dengan sekolah, dan persepsi orang tua terhadap keterlibatan mereka dalam proses pendidikan. Alasan di balik keterlibatan orang tua dalam proses pendidikan dapat dijelaskan dengan teori atribusi. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa keterlibatan orang tua dalam proses pendidikan di Aceh rendah. Selain itu, motivasi orang tua untuk terlibat dalam proses pendidikan itu terkait dengan motivasi mereka sendiri, seperti semata-mata memenuhi kewajibannya sebagai orang tua dalam membesarkan anak.]

This case study investigates the language learning experiences, both at home and abroad, of a male Japanese high school learner of English. The qualitative data consist of field notes taken in Japan and the United States, interview data, and a semi-structured diary. Proficiency data include an oral proficiency interview (OPI), an institutional TOEFL, a dictation, and a narrative recorded immediately following the study abroad experience. By examining dynamics at different levels of analysis, it is argued that gender played a significant role in shaping short-term and long-term language learning opportunities and outcomes. This case study contributes to the study abroad literature in two ways. First, it adds a case study of a Japanese male to the literature on the gendered experience abroad. Secondly, it allows us to investigate how language study at home and abroad differs for a single learner, and how gender contributes to these differences. 本研究は、一人の日本人男子高校生の日本とアメリカにおける英語学習経験を調査したケーススタディである。日米両国で記録したフィールドノート、インタビュー、記載様式をある程度規定した日記などの質的データを資料とした。習熟度に関する資料としては、OPI と呼ばれる会話測定能力テスト、TOEFL、ディクテーション、留学経験直後に録音した体験談などを使用した。多様なレベルのダイナミクスを検証し、ジェンダーが、短期・長期両方にわたる言語学習の機会と成果を得るために、重要な役割を果たしていることを論じた。本研究は、日本人男性のケーススタディである点、個人においても母国と外国とでは言語学習の方法が異なり、ジェンダーがその違いにどのように影響しているかを探ることができた点において、海外留学体験におけるジェンダーの影響を扱った研究分野に貢献するものである。

The ability to read is highly valued and important for social and economic advancement. This aspect is also one where parental involvement may be of help, aside from building active networks in the community. This study, therefore, determined the extent to which parents’ involvement affects their children’s reading ability. Using the descriptive-correlational method, parental involvement in parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision-making and collaborating with community was correlated with the reading ability of grade six students in F. Bustamante Central Elementary School, Tibungco District, Davao City. The parents displayed a mean moderate involvement in their children’s education while the reading ability of grade six students showed a frustration level in oral reading and silent reading. There was a significant relationship between parental involvement in education and reading ability of grade six students, indicating that the respondents’ parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision-making and collaborating with community are not guarantees that the reading ability of grade six students will be developed.Keywords: Language, Reading ability, parental involvement, descriptive-correlational design, Philippines

Study Format

In this article elementary school site decision-making bodies (SDMBs) are examined from a critical theory perspective. Two sites are examined: one with a mandated school site decision-making body and another with a voluntarily established school site decision-making body. A case study format and naturalist methodology that includes semistructured interviews, nonparticipant positioned observations, focus groups, and document analysis are used. Findings suggest relatively no difference between mandated and voluntary SDMBs; parent participation in school governance defined by socioeconomic status (SES); principals as key to school governance implementation; participating parents as trustees of the status quo; and school site decision-making bodies as an ineffective reform strategy. Propositions for consideration and suggestions for adjustments in SDMBs are offered.

The objective of this case study is to analyze how two groups of parents, a group who have newly arrived in Macau from Mainland China and the other who have resided in Macau for more than three decades, interact with the class teachers at the levels of “two-way communication,” “supervision of children at home,” and “participating in decision making” in a secondary school. The findings will redound to the benefits of school leaders, teachers, and indirectly the parents in a sense that looking closely at the ethnic and cultural differences between parents can promote effective cooperation between parents and teachers.

Decision Making Problem

Decision making under uncertainty is a crucial issue and most demanding area of research now a days. Intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy set plays important role in dealing with the circumstances in which decision makers judge an alternative with a collection membership grades and a collection of non-membership grades. This paper contributes a novel and advanced distance measure between Intuitionistic Hesitant fuzzy sets (IHFSs). A comparative analysis of the present distance measure with existing measures is performed first. Afterwards, a case study is carried in multi-criteria decision making problem to exhibit the applicability and rationality of the proposed distance measure. The advantage of the proposed distance measure over the existing distance measures is that in case of deficit number of elements in IHFs, a decision maker can evaluate distance measure without adding extra elements to make them equivalent and furthermore, it works in successfully in all the situations.

The shift to Emergency Remote Teaching and Learning (ERTL) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated online learning at home for South African (and other) students. Using a critical paradigm, qualitative approach and case study design, this study, underpinned by critical theory, used interviews, voice notes and text messages to generate data to explore how South African university students’ home contexts shape their experiences of ERTL. Using thematic analysis, the findings indicated that student learning at home was negatively impacted by poor internet connectivity, home responsibilities, cramped living conditions, lack of safety, and financial and psycho-social stresses. The findings exposed the lived realities of students’ home contexts, made more difficult through the pandemic. This study adds to the literature on student adaptation to learning in the pandemic within home contexts characterised by resource poverty and challenging psycho-social conditions.

Outside-in is an installation that utilises machine learning to reflect on systematic discrimination by focusing on the indefinite detention of Mexicans with Japanese heritage concentrated in Morelos during WWII. This algorithmic discrimination system tears apart four classic fiction films continuously within a projection room. The fragments are displaced and classified using machine learning algorithms. The system selects, separates and reassembles the fragments into new orders. It evokes the condition of being robbed of your right to be in the place to which you belong. The citizens detained during WWII were removed from their residence, their belongings were confiscated and they were placed in seclusion solely for having Japanese ancestry. Similarly, at present, data retrieving companies configure low resolution representations of ourselves from the snatched digital debris of our daily life. These pieces are reconfigured into archetypes and meaning is attached to them for massive decision making. We don’t have the right or means to know what these representations look like or what meaning has been attached to such shapes. It is a privilege reserved to the designers of algorithmic processes: they own this right and we the citizens own the consequences. The present article is a case study presenting the creation of Outside in: exile at home as an installation that utilises machine learning and reflects on this kind of systematic discrimination.
