Examination of Spontaneous Involvement of Parents in Education of Children at the Beginning of Schooling

Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on examining the various types of activities of parents who are involved in the education of children, and their impact on the progress of pupils at the beginning of their schooling. The survey examined 1,439 first-grade pupils and their parents from the territory of the Republic of Srpska. The questionnaire for the parents examined the representation of different types of activities within the family and in communication with the school, while the progress of pupils at the beginning of schooling was monitored by the assessment scale of the achievement of learning outcomes and development in the four spheres of development. It turned out that the most spontaneous activities involving parents were directed towards the independence of children and support to their motor development, then towards overcoming the school tasks and responsibilities, and finally through activities oriented to the creativity and intellectual development of the child. In addition, the involvement of mothers in the school-oriented activities was positively related to the advancement of pupils in the sphere of intellectual development, as well as the development of speech, communication and creativity, while the involvement of fathers in motor activities and the independence of children was in a positive correlation with the advancement of pupils in all the spheres of development. It is necessary to strengthen the parents' awareness of the importance of their involvement in the education of children through different types of activities from the earliest childhood, and especially during the first years of schooling, in which all educational institutions have a key role.
