  • Promoting home-school relations is one of the aims of education reforms in Hong Kong. This paper contains research data collected through qualitative methods aiming at capturing the thoughts and perceptions of twelve parents in three primary schools in Hong Kong so as to explore whether they are psychologically prepared for being involved in their children's education. Findings indicate that parents demonstrated low degree of cognitive and affective readiness for participating in school. To promote parent-school collaboration, it is important to consider the influence of Chinese culture on parent involvement. The paper also serves to provide scholars with academic insights for further investigation and policy makers with practical knowledge in developing appropriate strategies to promote homeschool relations.
    促進家庭與學校的關係是香港教育改革的其中一項目的,鼓勵家長參與學校教育更可提升家校合作。本文引用定質研究方法去探討家長十二位家長是否有心理準備去參與他們子女的教育;研究結果顯示家長在認知和情感上有不足的準備。在建立策略去促進家校關係的同時,我們須考慮中國文化對家長參與的影響。
