This study examined the perceptions of parents on their role in involvement in their children's education and determined if there was a difference in parents' perception of parental engagement based on ethnicity. The data used in this study was taken in 2013 from a sample of parents of elementary (K - 5) and secondary (6 - 12) students in a mid-south suburban school district that consist of rural, urban and suburban schools. The following questions were researched in the dissertation: 1) What role does a parent's perception of child rearing values, goals, and expectations have when considering academic norms at school?; 2) What role does parent's reported actions and behaviors have in a child's day-to-day education?; 3) What role does parent's reported actions and behaviors related to major educational decisions have in the child's education?; and 4) Is there a significant difference in parents' perception of parental engagement based on ethnicity on the 33 individual items and across the four constructs? The responses to survey questions provided the answers for the research questions. Size of measurement and exploration of relationships through descriptive research, correlation research and group comparisons are emphasized in a quantitative viewpoint. Findings in this study are consistent with the argument that many parents are involved effectively in their children's education despite the consequences of cultural backgrounds and family circumstances. There is not a statistically significant difference found in parents' perception of parental involvement based on ethnicity on the 33 individual items and across the four constructs in the majority of the respondents. Considerable effort must be made to involve parents in their children's schooling, however; to best achieve this task, practitioners must explore parents' current understanding of parental involvement, how parents view what actions they are to take in regards to involvement and what are the expectations and perceived indicators of success of desired outcomes for that involvement. Further, practitioners should make the effort to understand the parents that they serve and convey to them that their opinions or suggestions are desired and important. To achieve such a phenomenon, parents must feel welcomed and valued as equal participants in their child's education.

Evidence strongly supports the positive relationship between high levels of parent involvement in children’s education and student achievement. Yet, research shows that there tends to be a decline in parental involvement in children’s education as students get older and become adolescents. This study was designed to explore this phenomenon. The purpose of this exploratory mixed method study was to examine the kinds and levels of parental involvement reported by parents and teachers of adolescent students and by adolescent students themselves. Joyce Epstein’s parent involvement conceptual framework was used to frame the study. Parent, teacher and student versions of Epstein’s parent involvement questionnaire were used to collect quantitative data. Descriptive and chi-square analyses were conducted to appropriately address the quantitative research questions. Focus groups were administered to more fully explore stakeholders’ perceptions of parental involvement in addressing the qualitative research questions.

The purpose of this study was to compare perceptions of parental involvement of families who have children with special needs and families who have children without special needs from preschool through grade three. A survey of families with regard to parent involvement was conducted in Ohio. Responses from a sub-sample of 781 families who did not have children with special needs and 145 families who had children with special needs was analyzed. In general, few significant differences were found between the perceptions of parents of children with and without special needs. The differences found were related to the importance of family support and learning at home. In addition, differences in how well schools initiated and implemented parent involvement were found in volunteering and decision making dimensions. Specifically, parents of children with special needs placed more importance on receiving information about community services and discussing hopes and future plans for their children than did parents of children without special needs felt the schools did a significantly better job of inviting parents into the classroom to help. In addition, although both groups of parents rated serving on decision making committees low, parents whose children did not have special needs rated this dimension more satisfactory. No other areas within the six dimensions for both the importance of parent involvement and how well schools initiated and implemented parent involvement were found significantly different between the two groups of parents. Overall, parents perceived the schools as being moderately receptive to parental involvement.

Over the past fifty years of school reform, American education now includes parental involvement as an important factor contributing to children’s academic success. Furthermore, government funding is now tied to parent involvement, in an effort to increase the role of parents in school buildings. The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions and experiences of parents participating in school-based parent involvement initiatives. Particularly, the study focused on investigating how parent involvement supported the exchange of cultural capital where parents could embody capital and relay said capital to their children. The study allowed for the voices of the parents that are engaged to be heard. The theoretical framework was in the was Bourdieu’s theory of cultural capital. The theory is based on the notion that what one knows or invests time to learn or understand, and has value within the institutional setting becomes something that the person can use to navigate through said institutions. This is a bounded case study that explored parent involvement and their perceptions of their experiences in parent involvement activities in the private school setting. The research site was a private K-8 building in a metropolitan area of the United States. The participants were parents of diverse age groups and backgrounds. The overall findings of the study point to one particular type of parent involvement activity as being significant and the most visible in terms of its operational effect. Parent involvement classes were the location where the exchange of cultural capital was most visible – where parents were viewed as equals. Additionally, parental voice – where trust had been established and meaningful relationships had been forged, was most dynamic within the school’s parenting classes, and the vehicle by which culture was exchanged.

Over the past several decades, issues including standardized student testing, teacher certifications, charter schools, and the inequality of funding sources within the traditional public education system have vexed education policy-makers. But in a potentially constructive development, researchers have found that parental involvement is linked to positive attitudes toward education, behavioral performance, and better academic achievement to support the success of a child’s learning in the classroom. Although the research on parental involvement is abundant in the literature, there may be too little attention paid to the perception of teachers toward parental involvement. The purpose of this quantitative study is to analyze the perceptions of teachers based on parental involvement activities guided by Epstein’s Six Typologies of Parental Involvement: (a) teacher perceptions of parents and barriers to parental involvement, (b) communication, (c) teacher expectations for parental involvement programs; (d) building parent/teacher partnerships; and (e) resolutions and resources to improve parental involvement in schools. A 20 item close-ended questionnaire revealed how teachers' perceptions influence parental involvement in middle and high schools. The results of the study add to the validity of Epstein’s’ Six Typologies of parental involvement indicating that parental involvement initiatives and programs need to be more purposeful when it comes to communication and parent/teacher partnerships. By creating awareness in schools and school programs, parents and teachers can further build upon strong relationships that lead to a declared cohesive partnership to further increase student participation at home and in school; ultimately enhancing parental involvement as a significant component in a child’s education.

Parent involvement in the public schools is recognized by researchers and by the great majority of public school educators as being essential to the success of students, academically and socially. It is also a legal requirement for Title 1 schools. Numerous studies have examined the effects of parent involvement with various ethnic groups, especially with African American and Hispanic groups. This study looks at the effects of a series of twelve parental involvement workshops of three hours each, presented in English, Hmong, Spanish, and Russian languages on the perceptions of parents. These parents were from four ethnic groups: African American, Hispanic, Hmong and Russian-Ukrainian. Through a pre-post survey design, this study examines the perceptions of parents on school to home communication, parental involvement in their children's academic work, and the parents' ability to help their children academically. Also examined are teachers' perceptions of various dimensions of parental involvement using a survey with dimensions which are complementary to those on the parent survey.
