The Perceptional Differences in Parent and Community Engagement between Parents and Educators of Students That Attend Title 1 Middle Schools
Negasti McCurdie
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, University of the Cumberlands
This study examined the extent to which significant differences between caregivers/parents, general educators, and special educators for students with disabilities exist in student achievement, access and equity, organizational support, and quality of interaction. Support for students with disabilities has increased, as evidenced in recent educational policies, but parent engagement concepts remain unclear. Studies have shown that parent engagement in education contributes to improved student outcomes. However, gaps exist as to whether there are significant differences in the perceptions of educators and caregivers. The proposed research questions were: To what extent do perceptions of student achievement vary between parents of students with disabilities and educators of students with disabilities at Title 1 middle schools? To what extent do perceptions of organizational support vary between parents of students with disabilities and educators of students with disabilities at Title 1 middle schools? To what extent do perceptions of access and equity vary between parents of students with disabilities and educators of students with disabilities at Title 1 middle schools? To what extent do perceptions of quality of interactions vary between parents of students with disabilities and educators of students with disabilities at Title 1 middle schools? A quantitative research methodology was adopted, where a survey design was used. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS. An independent t-test and a one-way analysis of variance were used. The results showed that caregivers/guardians have significantly higher average scores in perceptions of access and equity, organizational support, quality of interactions, and student achievement than educators.
