MY REFLECTIONS ON FIELD STUDY 1 - EPISODE 6


       HOME-SCHOOL LINK

This episode focuses on Interdependence and Cooperation. My task includes selecting a learner from the class that i have observed and conduct a home visit, making a description about the family and interview the parents about the rules they implement at home concerning their child’s schooling. I also had a brief interview with the teacher and then reflect on the impact of home-school life to learning.
Parents have  a strong influence on children’s academic motivation and achievement. Parents esteem education; the attitude generated by the parents is transmitted to their children. The parents in the home and the teachers in the school should have a sympathetic understanding of one another’s work. A friendly spirit should be established between parents and teacher. They should work together harmoniously in uplifting the quality education that they desire for their children. Close collaboration and open communication are essential in achieving this goal. Aside from scheduled PTA meetings, regular exchange of feedback on the progress of the child through letters, notes, emails or text messages are other alternatives to maintain close coordination. Problems can be settled with sincere concern and open-mindedness. It is also important to communicate not only when problems arise but also when the child is doing well in class.
I've learned that parenting style affects the behavior of the child. If she experiences love and support at home, when a child knows and feels  that his teacher and parents care enough to be involved in his schooling, this will ignite his self-esteem which is important in motivating him to move further and do his best.
