Barriers to Parent Involvement: A Mixed-Methods Study among School Stakeholders
Allison Johnson
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Indiana Wesleyan University
This mixed-methods research study explores the barriers preventing parent involvement at a charter school located in the midwestern United States. Parent involvement is a critical component linked to student achievement and success, thus making it an important facet of each student's educational career. However, many parents face obstacles that prevent them from becoming more involved and engaged in the education of their children. In order to uncover the barriers that are challenging this school community, parents, teachers, and administrators of this charter school participated in a 21-question perception survey. This survey included three sections: ranking preselected barriers, answering one open-ended question, and addressing a school climate survey. The responses from parents, teachers, and administrators were compared to determine similarities or differences among perspectives. This research aims to identify the most significant barriers impacting the parents, with hopes that stakeholders can work collaboratively to develop and implement solutions which will increase parent involvement.
