Abstract

NAVARRO SALDANA, Gracia et al. Teacher’s characteristics and how they facilitate parents involvement in children’s teaching - learning process. Interam. j. psychol. [online]. 2006, vol.40, n.2, pp. 202-212. ISSN 0034-9690.

In order to describe primary school teachers’ characteristics and their relation with teachers’ perceived facilitation level of parents involvement in their children’s teaching - learning process, 32 primary school teachers and 628 parents were surveyed. A personal information survey was used with teachers, and a perception of teacher survey was applied to parents. Significant differences in the parents’ perception were found, which were related to teacher age, number of years working as a teacher, kind of education and specialization level. Those outcomes suggest the influence of traditional practices, resources management and expected and effective teacher-parent relation kinds.
