Partnering for Sustainability: Parent-Teacher-School (PTS) Interactions in the Qatar Education System

The interaction avenues, levels, and impacts between parents, schools and teachers have changed drastically due to the ever-increasing responsibilities, frequent and rapid changes in the curriculum, the invasive dominance of the internet and digital media in the lives of all stakeholders, and the digitization of learning materials, to name a few. This pilot study follows a design-thinking approach to investigate the current practices, needs, and challenges of parental involvement in public schools in Qatar to improve student achievements towards sustainable living and habits by identifying problems, developing solutions, and improving student achievement in conjunction with all local and relevant stakeholders. To this end, building on extensive and comparative studies on theories, models, and best practices within and outside the selected domain, a qualitative study is conducted to obtain insight from local teachers and parents in preparatory public schools. The grounded theory method is employed to analyze the data via the qualitative coding technique. The results indicate that parental involvement practices in Qatar public schools occur in different forms, including home-based and school-based learning. Furthermore, while almost all parents recognize the significance of parental involvement and show a high level of interest in being on the ‘Board of Trustees’, in reality, very few participate or volunteer in school activities, and they rarely visit classrooms or interact with teachers or schools, mainly due to their increasing job-related commitments. In addition, the majority of parents indicate the need for additional flexibility in communication with the school to increase their involvement. Meanwhile, the teachers highlight the significant lack of parental involvement in understanding, overcoming and improving student achievement in both academic subjects and sustainable living habits and actions. The study outlines a few key suggestions to overcome these challenges and improve the parent-teacher-school (PTS) partnership, including offering mandatory parenting classes, developing and implementing effective communication mechanisms to facilitate parent-school interactions, and involving parents in decision-making process relating to their children and other school-related activities. Despite the sampling limitation, this study’s findings represent a starting point for understanding the needs of PTS partnerships, current practices of parental involvement, and mechanisms to improve their contribution to Qatar’s schools.

School accountability and teacher stress: international evidence from the OECD TALIS study

Accountability—the monitoring and use of student performance data to make judgements about school and teacher effectiveness—is increasing within school systems across the globe. In theory, by increasing accountability, the aims and incentives of governments, parents, school leaders and teachers become more closely aligned, potentially improving student achievement as a result. Yet, in practice, concerns are mounting about the stress that accountability is putting schools and teachers under. This paper presents new evidence on this issue, drawing upon data from more than 100,000 teachers across over 40 countries. We find evidence of a modest, positive correlation between school system accountability and how stressed teachers and headteachers are about this aspect of their job. When looking within schools, there is little evidence that the management practices of headteachers differ when they report feeling stressed about accountability, or that they transmit these feelings onto their staff. However, we do find strong evidence of ‘emotional contagion’ of stress amongst colleagues within schools, with teachers more likely to feel stressed by accountability if their colleagues do as well.

Efektivitas Handout pada Pembelajaran Kimia dalam Meningkatkan Prestasi Siswa: Review

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of handouts as an alternative to learning chemistry in improving student achievement. The method used in this article is a meta-analysis of several pieces of literature relevant to the topic and research objectives. The handout was identified as having an optimal level of practicality, and was considered adequate for students because it made it easier for students in the learning process. The teacher's role in this method is more to strengthen the material by providing an understanding of the inappropriate material delivered by the group. The teacher and the students concluded the results obtained, and an assessment was carried out to determine the level of achievement of the cycle I. In the next stage in cycle II, the group assistants were expected to understand other students so that interactions between students were identified as contributing to the second cycle assessment results. The result is an increase in student achievement in both cognitive and affective aspects. The cognitive aspects previously at the level of achievement of 42.11% increased to 63.16% exceeding 60%. Meanwhile, the affective aspect increased from 70.24% to 74.47%. The combination of discussion methods and handouts, and also videos as learning media can improve student learning outcomes or student achievement more effectively.
