Analysis
The analysis of the questionnaire responses allows researchers and educators to understand the dynamics of the parent-school relationship and to identify areas needing improvement. The analysis includes quantitative data, such as the frequency of contact and the extent of parental involvement, as well as qualitative data derived from descriptive responses or observations. The analysis can reveal trends in parental engagement, highlighting both positive aspects and areas where further support or interventions may be needed.
Objective
The main objective of the questionnaire is to improve collaboration between parents and the school in order to support student learning and development. Through the collection and analysis of data on parental involvement, the questionnaire aims to identify and promote practices that strengthen parent-school interaction and support. Subsequently, the insights gained can be used to design targeted interventions that empower parental cooperation and support, ultimately aiming to improve students’ learning outcomes.
Scoring
The scoring of the questionnaire involves the process of verifying the reliability and validity of the questions and the evaluation scales. This is typically done using statistical tools to analyze internal consistency (e.g., Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient) and the stability of responses over time. Additionally, the validity of the tool is assessed, meaning how accurately it measures what it is intended to measure. This ensures that the results obtained from using the questionnaire are reliable and can be used to make informed decisions.
