Personal Research Journey

Personal Research Journey


I have decided to do my general early childhood research simulation on the topic of parent-teacher relationships/parent participation.
Three related subtopics:

  1. The influence of parent participation in the classroom on a child’s academic present and future.
  2.  How parent-teacher relationships can influence a child’s academic progress in the classroom environment.  
  3. How to encourage parent participation in the classroom and maintain a good parent-teacher relationship.
I am having difficulty narrowing down the scope of my topic to one particular aspect in regards to parent-teacher relationships/parent participation. In my experience, both professional and personal, both aspects of the parent-teacher relationship and parent participation in the classroom, have a lasting effect on a child's academic progress and future. So, even though it seems that my scope is large, I feel that that there is a lot to cover in the parent-teacher relationship/parent participation topic.
I look forward to the information that I find on this topic. I have researched it before and still hope to find even more studies that have been performed and written about regrading the academic success of child whose parents participate in the classroom and have a good parent-teacher relationship.

    Hi Beau,
    I am glad you are having success in your topic. I often have trouble with my topics being too vague and knowing what is important and what is not. It looks like you have things under control. Good luck, and I hope you give me some advice on my blog with this :)

    Hi Beau, you have selected a wonderful topic. I often sit and ponder about how I can better the participation of my parents and or other family members in my class. A lot of the excuses I overhear, are my work schedule doesn't allow me to be flexible, I have too much stuff to do, I don't want to, I'm not here to participate only for them to watch my child while I'm at work. So it would be very interesting to read your research paper and to implelment some of your suggestions on how to better evaluate the participation.

    Beau-

    Great topic!! Parent support for their children is SO very important and I know it can be frustrating when you see parents who are not involved in their child's education. I have experienced both sides of the coin. Good luck to you in your research!
